Was it you???

Recommended Posts

For some reason, I've gotten more waves this month then I have in the year Ive owned the car. Maybe its the new stripes. I've noticed that with the economy and gas prices, more and more people are buying Mini's because they have good MPG a high resale and are relatively cheap. One of my coworkers has one and didn't even realize they had an S model....:hahaha:

 

I usually wave if I see that the Mini is modified, clean or I can tell the driver is an enthusiast. Other then that they never notice or give me the bird as a reaction.

I've had a quite a few waves recently, compared to how many I normally get.

 

Other then that they never notice or give me the bird as a reaction.

 

I've had people look at me like I'm crazy, but I've never had anyone give me the bird! Why would someone do that? :stupid:

got a nice wave today from a CR/W with white bonnet stripes and number decals on sides on York Rd in Hunt Valley this afternoon around 5pm

 

Then passed another CR/B with black bonnet stripes on shawan rd 2 seconds later- no wave

I got a wave from a CR/W with white bonnet stripes and a big number on the side. They were southbound on Rock Creek Parkway and I was Northbound.

 

I think I saw Got MINI? (Lisa) on Route 1 near Crystal City earlier this afternoon. I waved as I was going past (she was making a right turn), but didn't see if she saw me.

I saw a bunch of MINIs today.

Mass Ave and Florida - Hot Orange Cabrio

20th and Columbia - BRG/White with Vermont tags (and a tow hook license plate mount!)

 

I didn't wave because I was in a cab. :biggrin:

I keep waving, no one waves back, kind of dis heartening... Being a Jeep™ driver also, I am good at the sudden 'oh look another mini' *wave* thing. my mini is sleeper ish, no stripes, roof and body match, but the ALL chili red cooper in the Springfield area being driven by the heavily tattooed Asian guy.. well that's ME :) *virtual waves*

Don't worry, you'll get some wave backs and in the meantime, maybe you'll educate some other Mini drivers :) I'll keep an eye out when I'm down around Springfield, and if you are up in the Shirlington area keep your eye out for a Laser blue w/ white roof & white wheels... giving you a description of me wouldn't help though. I'm not distinguishable ;)

 

Personally it seems like I get more waves when I'm just cruising down the GW parkway on a nice day.

Do you have any other marking on your car like a badge or stickers or something? We frequent the same roads...
