Do people generally still give a little wave or nod when passing other classic minis anymore?

We passed 3 on our way to the Thoresby show today and not a single person acknowledged us :(

It was the first minis we've passed since getting our car… wondered if people had stopped doing this, or we were unlucky and only passed by misery guts?!!

I flash if I'm quick enough but usually just a thumbs up. I think that some mini owners just don't know about the flash and waving as I've been either blanked or had funny looks off others when I've waved to them.

I wave and never get any wave back, normally i just get a confused look or a middle finger, but then again i do drive a pug 206 diesel. cant wait to get back behind the wheel of a mini again, hopefully by next summer rusty will be on the road.

I would wave and flash, but one of my spotlights has stopped working, so it's just a wave at the mo >_<
