Just had a wee think about thetimes i've been in a classic mini andquite a few people would either flash or wave (A mini thing). Does the same apply with the BMW version? or just people you know?

Hardly ever anymore, sadly. I've had one wave since I got my R56 MINI six weeks ago.

Things were better in 2001/2002.

We always give a wee flash or wave, more often a wave as a flash can be misinterpreted by other drivers. Sadly, few are reciprocated. We wave to the classics too, the majority of whom give us a glare 'cos we bought a BMW MINI!;)

Well...I won't be alone here when I say I'm tired of waving and not getting a wave back. I thought last week of getting a sign made up for the sun visor "WAVE YOU SNOB" ...or worse :D

I wave now and usually don't look for a wave back...

Where is the central Belt? I thought Edinburgh was in the Central Belt - nobody seems intersted on waving (apart from one incident0 over here.

don't think Edinburgh is central ya numpty;)

central belter here and I never wash or flash unless it is another NMS member.

Most Minis I see are being driven either by old codgers or L driving schools.
