Hi
Thought I would drop a line to say hello! I have just joined and was wondering if there is anyone here from the north west, in particular Bolton! I got my first mini cooper in March this year and have seen quite a few mini's on the road but although I wave to them, they seem to ignore me?!?
Is this common?

Hi Nicky welcome to MINI2 I think you'll find quite a few people in the NW.... and in my experience very few fellow MINI drivers wave back these days as there are so many around

Hi Ste!
I drive a red mini cooper with black bonnet stripes, mirrors & roof (which I have seen a couple like mine in Bolton) but none with spotlights!
So spot me with the spotlights, I will sure wave!
Btw which part of Bolton do you live?
Thanks to everyone for your welcome's, looking forward to hopefully catching up on a meet somewhere, I'm driving my family mad with mini talk!!

Hello Nicky L
Robbie looks fantastic. Keep the faith and keep waving. I've just started a thread called "Give us a wave" so get the ball rolling.
