R50/53 Do you still wave...

Just set up a place to meet and start inviting every MINI you see to attend.
Make up flyers and/or business cards with your meeting location, place and
time and next thing you know you have your very own club/group.

I waved back.
A lady I know practically stood up to wave at me from her pumpkin colored Mini Cabrio . I was going down hill in my E/B Mini into Pacifica and she was going up the grade on DEVILS SLIDE. I WAVED back, but Geez this is DEVILS SLIDE, please next time don't do it so enthusiastically, I'll wave back!

I used to always wave. When I lived in Colorado it seemed like 99% waved back. Now I live near Santa Cruz and these people might as well be driving a Prius...they look at me like I'm NUTS! Hey, when I'm riding my motorcycle through the mountains and I see a Mini I give them a Peace sign...they probably think I'm nuts too!

Man, I should have known this topic would be out here. I am kinda new to MINI. When I had a Mini, EVERYONE waved or smiled. Of course I am 6'3 and was driving a classic Countryman so it was almost impossible to not be noticed and smiled, waved or laughed at. All fine by me. HOWEVER, Now I am a VERY PROUD MINI owner and I try to make MINI contact with other owners, but to no avail. I do live in Los Angeles......the realist place on Earth, so I am not really surprised. Someone please wave or flash beams or something sometime! A nod, a beep, a "Heya" anything to redeem my faith in Mini/MINI enthusism.
Any will do.

I'm working on some of the graphics designers to make a stickcer for my truck that says "This is my MINI Support Vehicle - WAVE AT ME!"

Waved and flashed (with headlights ) at TWO Minis today...one MCS and one MC. Nothing back. I think these people just wanted a cute car. I did get the nod from a guy in a nice MCS the other day as we passed.....like two gangsters watching the others move. Then the grin. That was close so it will have to do.

Until yesterday, I hadn't received any acknowledgment from other MINI drivers. They are always looking off in other directions! Then yesterday, while heading home from work, a guy in a yellow MINI Cooper S waved at me as I crossed over the intersection. I was so stunned that all I did was nod. I would have waved, but I was preparing for a turn. Very cool.
