Hi,

Different wheels on each side of the car is an old trick Craig (Willow 9?) who frequents these boards owns a wheel shop in Adelaide. He told me once he usually drives around with a different set of wheels on each side of the car, because that way he can demo 2 different sets at once It is a physical impossibility to look at both sides at the same time, so most people never notice

Cheers

Robbo

It took me a while to work it out. Lots of these terms are used on bulletin boards. To help you can look up www.urbandictionary.com

I just hope that I haven't missed someone waving to me, I know I try to wave to every MINI I see - and like many of you, get an occasional wave back, but also get some very strange looks from others! Well, stuff them, cause they just don't realise how damn lucky they are to be driving such an amazing car! They obviously just don't "get it"!! Well, too bad, how sad! I am going to keep waving anyway :-D

Hi Avril,

Yeah we all miss waving sometime, i know i do , sometimes i am concentrating on where to wriggle my mini into next, love weaving through the Sydney traffic. But some of the drivers i saw today were full-on w***ers, toffy blokes who thought they were too good, one is BRG MC and CR/MCS they were travelling same direction and definately saw me wave and looked at me like i have two heads. They just don't get it and don't deserve to drive a fabulous car like the mini i reckon. Come up the coast sometime, we nearly all wave, there will always be exceptions though. Mind u both guys i remember the rego and one day they might turn up somewhere minish and no smiles from me.

Ann

Not that I've looked for it yet but can you please explain where PITS is? I promise I'll wave when I get there.

-- Saw a Black Cabrio this morning George st Parramatta, waved and got a wave back. Didn't even have time to see if it was an S or not.

"Its position? Ah, jeez. It's on a road. There's some trees and shrubs. Directly under the Earth's sun...NOW!"

Sorry, had to do it . I'm sure someone can give you a better description though

All my life, I have searched for a car that feels a certain way.
Powerful like a gorilla, yet soft and yielding like a Nerf ball. Now, at last, I have found it

Or you can do what I did, and absolutely fly around a few corners, and then go zooming past
