Sorry to be so blunt .. But, that's not a mini .. That's a MINI ..

Can't see middle aged women flashin' their lights back at you in a car that common ..

Now, if it was an Austin Mini .. :D

I disagree.

If someone in a BMW MINI flashed someone else in a BMW MINI the person who got flashed would pull over and inspect their car, test their lights ..

Then, phone the AA explaining another car flashed them and they think it's something to do with their car ..

EEEEEEE, Man. Calm down. We are all entitled to an opinion and it is a free speaking country. My comment does not break the forum rules.

So why cannot you accept my point of view as I have acknoledged yours. I did not say, you are going to get hurt because you own/like/adore the BMW Mini. Please do not comment and make threats such as the above, or i will have no choice to report this thread to the moderators.

This is a family forum, so before it goes any further, can all readers/posters of this tread bare that in mind.

And yes, we have all heard the BINI VS MINI arguements, i think this forum has had the discussions, and got past it. So i think it should just be left now. But this forum is aimed at the classic Mini intenionally, so BMW Mini's arent common or welcomed much by some members.

I also agree, flashing cars in a Classic is a old jesture of "hello" and "its another mini". But in modern cars, flashing someone is normally due to anger or to inform them of a fault with there vehicle. Please be careful as flashing other vehicles may cause accidents if the other person becomes distracted from their driving and watching you.

BLOODY BMW!!! Telling us how to do something classic mini owners have been doing for decades! I'm going to phone them up and tell them how to make a real mini! And it doesn't have power steering and is smaller than a Fiesta!!!

A mini is called a mini because its small not because it bought the name off of someone (rover RIP). New minis are to common they would be flashing all the time and half of there owners (estate agents) wouldnt know whet the hell it means. As said they would think there was something wrong. they just dont have the same community as we have.

Before anyone gets upset with my sugestion i drive a classic mini and think that is the only really mini. But from your points of they would think something was wrong with there car etc maybe we should all start flashing them i think it would be quite amusing to see them pull over and get out and check there car.
