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!!

Have fun on this site its great and soon you'l be addicted as most of us are, and eventually get yourself on a MINI run and you'l meet a great bunch of people who'l wave back every time.

Ohh and we always welcome pics of newbies MINI's so get snapping!

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.
