I save the beep for red-light runners (many here), but I wave all the time. I get perhaps a 1 in 10 wave back (about 1 a week). Most fun is pull up along a MINI with a temporary plate (i.e. less than a month old) roll down the window, and say welcome to the club.

what's that sposed to mean? I drive an R56 and will always wave or flash if I see another MINI - the 'feeling' is no different to when I had my R53. if that's the kinda attitude, then it's no wonder no one will wave to you!



SomeYoungGirl, if I'm around the Manchester area, I'll keep an eye out for X3's

I saw a blonde hottie driving a black MINI convertible on saturday in Rhos-on-Sea. I wasn't driving my car though. If I see her again I'll definitely wave

Sorry if this sounds a bit thick as i'm new to the Mini scene, but what is a R50-R53 and R56.
PS Just keep on waveing, if they don't wave back then they are the sad person.
I've recently orderd a MCS Sidewalk in pepper white and can't wait to wave at other mini drivers.
