When i get a flash from a non mini , i always feel the need to pul over and check that nothing is hanging of the car!!

haha glad im not the only one who feels like that!

I always wave or flash at other minis when i see them, its one of the best things about having a mini.... but i admit sometimes i dont see them until too late so if i dont wave or flash im not being rude im just being slow!

Ooh! Don't get me started on that!

Was dropping a college mate off when normal cars in the opposite lane starting flashing. At this point my mate turns to me and says "Wow, plenty of people must like your car!"

I pulled over at the next lay-by to check the car - making sure everything was in place, spotting no obvious problems. So, I continued my journey until the road led us left, over a hill and who would be there to greet us? Your friendly neighbourhood speed-trap.

I'm a fairly slow driver and keep to the speed limits so I was fine, but I dread to think what happened to the other people who overtook me earlier on!

Waved (and was waved back at ) by two Minis today in the space of about two miles around Mucklows hill in Brum today.
A Clubby estate and a very smart grey one.
Also beeped at the house in Halseowen which has a nice Black Mini parked outside on the grass verge like
an exhibit for all the world to see

Who wouldn't wave and grin ?

Best wishes
Monty

Here Minis and generally classic cars are only a few so everytime i see a classic I get excited and wave/flash, especially if it's a Mini..
Most of the Minis wave back, but most of other classics dont even care!
Only a classic beetle waved at me first once!

I always wave, toot or flash! Most Mini drivers round my way do the same. Its essential part of Mini ownership!
I also give a wave to other classics, sometimes they wave back. An old 50's MG driver gave me a wave the other day as I tooted him.

Im just a nutter who waves at everyone

on a more serious note, i flash wave minis, bugs and campers. and always get them back, even the odd BMW now and again. only the ones where you can tell its not just a car to them though,

Hiya there im mad as a hatter so i will always wave in or out of my mini to other drivers hehehe loves to short so be happy

When I'm not in the Mini, I see loads of Minis, .... they appear from every driveway.. every junction... every set of traffic lights. I don't wave as I guess I'll get an of the Mini driver or the wife . But what do you know, the minute I jump in the Mini and take it for a spin, you lot put your Minis away and I never darn well spot one!!!!!

My Mini will be off the road for a while so if you see a black trike behind you or coming the opposite way,and if the rider gives you a clenched fist salute,don't get uptight because it might be me.

[morley]

worst is when you wave/flash/beep at an old person in a mini and they don't do anything

[miniman44]

Do you mean they don't get out of your way,I know what you mean,and you only get 15 points for them.Unless you get a brace,then it's 30 each.
It's ok,I can say that because I'm 66 later this year.
Hey,when was the stage one kit fitted,I didn't feel a thing.
