I had a similar problem when I owned my '76 Triumph Spitfire. Mazda Miata owners ALWAYS waved... except for the hot ladies who's pops bought them one. Ok, all middle aged men in their Miata's always waved.
You won't see me waving to a Bini driver unless they wave first... I've got nothing against returning it.
But as for the :w00t: : I can keep my cool in situations, but I also keep my grudges... Probably would've gotten his name and plate and reported his car as stolen, or bought my next batch of Mini parts on a Credit Card in his name, or used the ol' Internet to find out where he lives and if he has a daughter of legal age and then... Ok, I'm taking this too far. :D

I think a bini driver waved at me today, but I was just about to go down a really big windy hill so I had better/more fun things to think about :D

If he had tried that with me he would have regretted it. I am six foot five and sit in the back seat. He would have Kakked himself when i unfolded myself from my clubby. You should have shoved the mars bar up his tailpipe.

I can't believe that guy did that!!! What a complete w*nker!

Man if I knew where he lived I'd go round and sort him out myself!!!

And even I have trouble getting other Big Mini Owners to wave back, but nevertheless I flash and wave and if I get no respnse I just call them moody f*ckers to myself and carry on my day :D I do wave at the classics sometimes though...only if they're not giving me evils :w00t:
And I always get more waves in our classic than in the Big one.

If I waved at Binis I may as well wave to Fords, buses, taxis, bikes, 4 x 4's even flash at the aeroplanes up there - in fact every vehicle on the planet. It's meaningless.


i agree che!

violence never solves anything... so well done on keeping your cool!
tho put me in that situation and all hell would have probably broken loose :D

Hey Twicemonkey, whats the GnR link in your sig? Is this your band?

No it's this band who we follow. We still know them as 'Bad Obsession' which was their name until they got they were given the title of the official Gun N' Roses tribute band of the UK by Geffen Music. They do gigs alll up and down the country (check their tour dates section because they are *******in awesome - lead singer sound just like Axl - though the music on their website sucks - don't judge them by that, it's a bad recording)

Wow, this thread makes me feel 'nostalgic' - it's like stepping back a few years what with all the tired anti-BINI posturing.

Getting back to the original post, that bloke's obviously a w*nker but there's a hell of a lot of w*ankers on the road so big deal - doesn't prove anything about the cars they drive. Dare I say there may even be a few of them driving classic Minis (of the sort who abuse BINI drivers at shows and vandalise their cars) but I'll presume the wilder statements made here are posturing rather than reality so no one answering to that description could be round here... could they?

Oh, I wave at BINIs if they wave at me otherwise I don't bother - just like back in the 60s and 70s with the classic the BINI is selling to loads of casual buyers who don't know a thing, or care I'd guess, about waving/flashing or whatever and that's their loss nobody elses!

if a bini driver either flashes/waves at me of course i will return it, i just wont start it! they may have a project sitting at home and bought a bini so they can park in the mini parking only that some shows have!!

well donee for keeping your cool though mate!

Well he obviously has a mental problem, something many a BINI owner has I guess anyway, but I'd love him to try that with me as i'd have also stuffed the mars bar up his probic vent! >:D
