VioletDC Posted May 18, 2012 Report Posted May 18, 2012 LOL ... I do the same thing & get the same result! :laugh: :laugh: I've caught myself waving to MINI drivers when I'm walking...yeah I get no waves back. 'scuuuuze me while I kiss the sky ~ Jimi
TGGRRR (Ali) Posted May 18, 2012 Report Posted May 18, 2012 LOL ... I do the same thing & get the same result! :laugh: I've tried throwing the peace sign, mostly they look at me weird. But one time I was at a restaurant eating outdoors. I saw a MINI stop at the stop sign and I threw the peace sign. She rolled down her window and said "Do you have Tigger?" She lived near the restaurant and had seen Tigger parked near it. Oh it was a glorious moment :wavey: Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman
GreenCactus Posted May 18, 2012 Author Report Posted May 18, 2012 Since most of us have caught ourselves waving at MINIs when either driving other cars or walking, if you see someone waving to you in a non-MINI, do YOU wave back? I would, but I don't think it's happened to me. My mom always waves at MINIs and she doesn't have one (yet). She said she's gotten waves once in awhile, but most of the time people just look at her like she's crazy.

LostDenverite Posted May 18, 2012 Report Posted May 18, 2012 LOL ... I do the same thing & get the same result! :laugh: A girl waving to a guy, you should get something. Me waving to either...I'm going to get the "I don't know you!" look.

Almost 30 years of cars and I've only had one automatic the entire time. And every day I got in that car (Volvo 240 DL) I hated it specifically because it was an automatic.

carman63 Posted May 26, 2012 Report Posted May 26, 2012 Also, meant to post this yesterday... This GP is in an office parking lot near my work. He has a MINIs of Carolinias sticker, but VA plates. Any clue? We met the owner at Cars and Coffee (Great Falls) today. She is a nice lady, bought the car used and left it - stickers and all - as you see it. Her name's Jill, and she had an S previously. Jennifer, John (Celia's dad) and I spoke to her about the club, gave her cards for both C3M and DCMM, and she said she'll have to look into the clubs. Seemed very interested in joining up.

I like how some people buy limited edition sports cars used and don't even know what they have. Price was right and it is just a MINI right? 2012 Cooper S Roadster - H/K sound and bum warmers
carman63 Posted May 27, 2012 Report Posted May 27, 2012 I like how some people buy limited edition sports cars used and don't even know what they have. Price was right and it is just a MINI right? I believe she knows very well what she bought, stickers and all. She liked what the previous owner did, and didn't see any reason to change it. Including the stickers. Maybe I missed something?
