Igor thinks Cooper S drivers are nasty

Igor has seen 5 cooper s in past 2 months.

Not one of them waved or flashed at Igor. Igor does get waves and flashes of One and Cooper drivers.

Igor thinks then Cooper S drivers are nasty

Funny that, cos no one waves/flashes at us in our S. We are on a mission to flash/wave at all minis, it does surprise me the amount of people that ignore us completely.
In fact the only car to flash me this week was a chap in a mini 30.....

moody s drivers(herts)

i live in mid herts and often flash at the odd s driver, but have now learnt my lesson. They should be over the moon to be driving the S, whats wrong with them, maybe my lowly cooper is not good enough and seen as a lower being. most bizarre!

Nearly of all cooper drivers will flash their lights and give a huge cheesy grin, keep it up!!!

Igor get's the hump

Excellent! A MCS vs. MC/MO split... Just when the MINI vs. Mini debate was starting(!) to get boring

"Dammit I hate those chromed-up underpowered Coopers & Ones. The people who drive them are so holier-than-thou cos they've had a MINI for nearly a year longer than me. And their cars break down."

"Cooper S drivers are yuppie donkey-fondlers, with their bulbous mobile letterboxes. That's not a real MINI, it's just a cynical marketing ploy! And their cars break down."

Let the chardonnay-letting begin!

I wave/flash at all MINIs regardless of what they are. If they do not wave/flash back, it is their problem not mine!

Afterall, one can usually spot Apple miles away!

P.S. I only wave/flash when I am on a single carridgeway/in town etc., not very practical on dual carrideways or motorways

I want to flash at all MINI's, I always flash/wave at MCS's, cos I know that I'll always get a flash and a wave back, however, as the Cooper and One have been out over a year now, non-MINI enthusiasts are driving them, which has resulted in people looking at me like I'm stupid when I flash and wave at them.

With the MCS at the moment, you know that the majority of drivers are enthusiasts who are only to happy to flash/wave back.

Well most MINIs around Milton Keynes flash back and/or wave so I'm happy.

Mind you there is one miserable looking bloke in a yellow MINI ONE who rarely raises a smile
