1975_mini Posted October 18, 2013 Report Posted October 18, 2013 I've spent all week waving at Mini's, and I get no love! lol Don't feel bad, I was out crusin in Watson yesterday and was blown off by two Minis. I like to think they miss me waving because I am on the rightside, but that doesn't work when I do the crazy wave out both windows :hello2: 1975 Mini 1000, 998cc A+ w/ K&N air filter, 10" Mamba wheels
IndiCooper Posted October 18, 2013 Report Posted October 18, 2013 ya ive noticed people REALLY dont wave back when im in the duck, i mostly just get really wierd looks, idk if its cause im on the other side of the car or cause they dont know what im driving. if you drive a MINI educate yourself on the history of your car!
1975_mini Posted October 18, 2013 Report Posted October 18, 2013 I could see that with the old clubman, with the unique front grille. ya ive noticed people REALLY dont wave back when im in the duck, i mostly just get really wierd looks, idk if its cause im on the other side of the car or cause they dont know what im driving. if you drive a MINI educate yourself on the history of your car! 1975 Mini 1000, 998cc A+ w/ K&N air filter, 10" Mamba wheels
cbryant82 Posted October 18, 2013 Report Posted October 18, 2013 I actually find myself following the old skool minis as far as I can when I see em. Such a cool piece of car history. Hope to have one myself in the next few years! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]2003 MINI Cooper S Indi Blue, 16% WMW Pulley, One Ball Mod, DDM Works Intake, Helix Short Throw Adapter, Rear Seat Delete.

Revwillie Posted October 21, 2013 Report Posted October 21, 2013 I was driving my daughter to school this morning up canal road to foxhall. Saw a decked-out clubman with dcmm stickers. When she merged in front of me, I saw the OMGmini plates. Too bad I was driving our beat up Sienna at the time, but I wonder if you've seen my wife driving my checkmate in that area some mornings. 06 SB/S MCS Checkmate, Premium, Convenience, LSD, HK, Chrome interior ZOOM641

osofast10 Posted October 25, 2013 Report Posted October 25, 2013 I see a few mini coopers at my park ride in the sydenstricker lot...never see the drivers just the cars:wavey: today was a nice blue S with rims
Stephatron Posted October 25, 2013 Report Posted October 25, 2013 I saw a silver Countryman on 123 in Vienna heading northbound around 4:30 yesterday. They had a euro plate that said "MINIMAL" ... No wave though.
Drillslinger Posted October 25, 2013 Report Posted October 25, 2013 Hey IndieCooper, is the Duck orange? If so, I spotted you on 50 yesterday morning but I was in far right lane and couldn't get a visual to wave until you slipped past me behind a truck. So... Belated wave :-)

tampadave Posted October 31, 2013 Report Posted October 31, 2013 I just reached the 100 mile threshold on my new '14 Roadster S.

My statistics suck. 2014 Roadster S: Pepper White; Black Seats; 6 Speed Manual; JCW Ext. Package; Chrome Driving Lamps; City Pack; 17" Cross Spoke Challenge Wheels, etc. Ordered: Aug 17th.

tampadave Posted November 1, 2013 Report Posted November 1, 2013 I'll keep trying. Do people recognize the Roadster as a MINI, or are they largely ignorant of the "wave"? 2014 Roadster S: Pepper White; Black Seats; 6 Speed Manual; JCW Ext.

TGGRRR (Ali) Posted November 1, 2013 Report Posted November 1, 2013 I'll keep trying. Do people recognize the Roadster as a MINI, or are they largely ignorant of the "wave"? I think the problem is with the people that think their MINI is just a car for commuting. It pains me that their MINIs don't know love. Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman
