    I wave like I post on this forum: all the time and usually without thinking. :D

    There's got to be a universally recognized wave for those times when driving the old pickemup that says "I'd rather be driving my MINI". Except who looks at an old pickup driving by unless it's a '35 Terraplane?

    I wave at every MINI I pass, although with dark tinted windows I know they mostly don't see me............but it's the thought that counts!

    I always wave, and really disappointed when the wave isn't returned.
    I waved at two old ladies in a countryman this morning and they probably thought I was a pervert!!

    I wave..... But you can almost anticipate if you will get a return wave. Women and girls don't return my waves. Other guy's return waves (Hmmmm what's that mean?). :eek: Must be a feeling of security that perhaps plays into it.

    I wave to every MINI I see and my wife waves for me if I don't see it. I even wave when I'm riding in my wife's Explorer or driving the F350. Don't get much response those times for some reason. :D

    Yep, I wave obsessively, even on the interstate where I'm pretty sure they can't see me. Oh, and I wave when driving the F250 - again I don't get many responses for some reason :confused:

    I'm thinking we have a biased sample here. If you love your MINI enough to be on the forums, you probably wave. :Thumbsup:
