Isle of Wight MINI Owners

I don't know if there's any IoW MINI2ers but I must apologise for not flashing at two cars during my recent trip there.

I'm so used to no one (except two specific cars I see) flashing that I'd given up flashing MINI's. That and the fact I was trying to navigate my way round the island too

Both MINI's were seen in the Newport area. Anyone from there or IoW in general.

It was acceptable in the 80's

i'm not from the iow, but i live in southampton, and i must agree that far too many people look at you as if you are insane when you wave or flash at a mini.

i believe that anyone who has owned an old mini flashes instinctively (I've owned 3 old ones) and any new to mini drivers just don't get it!

come on everyone, get flashing! it's a laugh..

by the way, is there any tried and tested method at flashing at a mini that is behind you? i'm never sure what to do but let them past and then flash! and then they think i'm being odd!
