Is there anything that puts a smile on your face (while driving your Classic Mini) than another Classic Mini coming the other way, and a wave, a lamp flash or a toot of the horn?

If only all driving could be that happy all the time.

Toot toot!!

i have experienced other pleasures whilst driving a car that also results in a great big daft grin, but not in a mini!

You kids with your fancy flashers!, you won't ever get a flash from a standard MK1 as they don't have a flashing system on the stalk, so please don't think MK1 owners are ignoring you

I was driving back from work one day and I saw a mini identical from mini just ahead, I speeded up went right behind it and started waving like a mad woman, I got so excited that I almost blindedly followed them and got lost... :)

But now my full beams don't flash any more, I need to put them on and off so I worry I might blind people if I'm too slow

When driving along and i see a mini i get realy giddy and just shout out mini :L

Once a bini waved at me at lights and i just looked over and shuck my head and said no lol and then tore off and bet them to te next lights ;)

Anytime i see on in a carpark have to park beside it and get a pic and give then a imoc card :)

Going through Kettering a couple of weeks ago we passed two classic Mini's in the space of 1000 yards. I think there are a few around the Wellingborough / Kettering area, and it really cheers me up to see them. Toot toot!

Just went out for a drive, although I didnt see any Mini's, but I saw a very pretty blonde girl mouth Mini, so i gave a little flash and wave.

Does that count?

I was supposed to take my mini over the Snake pass to Sheffield at the weekend but she died on me on Saturday morning, so I had to take the fiesta. Crossed other 4 classic minis on the way there, I was so sad :-( (how pathertic ...) and had to control myself not to wave frantically and toot at them when driving pass...

I have only owned my Mini a few months but I get abit too giddy when I see another, not that others have been as happy to wave back! But I did try to wave and flash someone the other day and totally forgot where my flasher was! haha!

I will continue to wave, (remember where my flasher is) until I get a satisfactory response!

Be sure to wave/toot/flash if you drive through Lincoln! (my horn is working properly now and sounds less like a poorly duck, I need an excuse to use it )

[ginsters]

Not my cup,don't think I've ever waved back done few hand signals In my younger days..

I also hate the term "fast road"

Bit grumpy
