    The other evening, after owning my car for almost a year, I actually got a wave! It caught me so off guard that I didn't realize it was happening until it was almost too late. The driver was an "older" gentleman, possibly around my age, driving an S Vert, like mine, and perhaps that may have been the catalyst, but he did wave! I've been waving at so many ungrateful Mini owners that I probably am perceived as a perv or else someone in need of friends! :Thumbsup:

    During my Miata days, it was a rare car that didn't wave. Maybe it's because the owners of Miatae are slightly different from the owners of Minis. :wink:

    I think I've gotten maybe 2 waves since April. And one was from a dude pedaling a bicycle...not sure if that counts. :D

    Usually when I drive past other Minis, they don't even make eye contact...

    I don't wave, that's a Jeep thing that MINI tried to copy.

    I don't know about the Jeep thing, I've never owned a Jeep, but it is definitely an old British car thing. When I am driving one of my MGs and see any kind of old British iron, there is a waving frenzy, from both cars!

    Depends in how grumpy I am. I might think of it after I've passed you. Check your mirror...

    I won't see you because I am paying attention to the road.

    I would advise others do the same and STAY ON YOUR SIDE.:ihih:

    Seattle has a pretty active MINI scene happening. PSMINI is an active group.
