Every DS MINI I see in Leeds, they never smile or wave. What is up with you? You stuck up or something and too good for the rest of us?

Regards

Chances are if they don't wave or acknowledge other MINI drivers, they just drive the MINI to get from point A to point B, no other reason. You probably won't find em' on here. Don't take it to heart.

i drive to & from work in the dark now so its really hard to do any mini spotting.

i was being followed briefly yesterday in my home town by a mini only 3 letters from my reg - mine is **52 OUH & this one was **52 OUL

I have a DS MCS, and I wave at all of the MINIs that I see.

I also live in the US.

Now, the other MINIs waving back is another story.

Certainly is harder to spot MINI's at night, especially dark colours so perhaps that's why they aren't waving!

I'm in a gold Mini One courtesy car at the moment. Sadly can't miss me...so wave or else! Roll on next week when my very own Indi-Blue One comes through!!!! 126 hours and counting....!

lol last night in the dark i thought every other small car I saw was a mini until really up close. DUUUUR just look at the shape of the headlights I said to myself - well just as I was about to get dissappointed that I hadnt seen one all night I realised the car behind was a a silver cooper so I quickly put hazards on and it did it back ahhhhhhhh bless!!!

I am guilty! I live in Leeds (chapel Allerton/Roundhay area) and drive a 04 DS/DS MCS with chrome exterior pack (wing mirrors, grill etc). To be honest no other MINI drivers have ever waved at me! From this day forward I will be waving at everyone!

It's not just Dark Silver ones either Kinster, generally MINI drivers in and around Leeds seem reluctant to wave

(except me of course I wave at 'em all!

). In fact I tend to find Pure Silver drivers are the worst - I'm sure they look the other way if ever they clap eyes on another MINI!!
