MINI2

Just found this forum and wanted to join in. I have had a love for LBC's ( not sure you use that term here) since high school. First car was a Triumph GT6, followed by an MG Midget and currently a TR4a. Two weeks ago I bought my 2004 Mini. I absolutely love this car. I now am on alert for other Mini's as I drive each day. In the 60's and 70's British car owners would give the V-sign or "peace" sign when passing on the road. I find myself wanting to somehow sign other Coopers I come across. How about two V's upside down on the steering wheel forming an M. Ok...... well my wife thought it was funny. I will be catching up on all the threads here. Glad I found it.

Hello! In the US most people either wave or flash their lights. There are also plenty of MINI owners who will give you a strange look when you wave too

Welcome to MINI2, a wave from a fellow MINI driver is always a good sign

Welcome to MINI2! Minis are still pretty rare in upstate NY, and most people wave or flash if they see another Mini in time.

Welcome! MINIs are rare in Las Vegas, I think the local dealer sells all their cars to CA. So big enthusiastic waves exchanged when I see another MINI.

OK, I'm gonna wave and see how long it takes to get one back.

Welcome Coop2004

A wave or flash of the lights is pretty common around here amongst enthusiasts!

Enjoy your stay!
