It's not the fact they don't wave back at a flashing MINI that astounds me. It's the fact they don't wave back at a cute non-blonde chick who's waving at them??? What IS going on in St. Andrews???
(it had to happen, using my moderator powers to remind you that I ain't got blonde hair!!:eek::kiss:)

Maybe they're just scared of the "Scary monster"

This is really scary...
Where were all you people, and at what time on Saturday was this?
I passed thru Inverkeithing AND visited St Andrews on Saturday evening..
I never saw any of you.. I *DID* however see the Stouffer lookee-likey - somewhere in mid Fife I think... but they didn't play either.... hmph.. :disapprove:
But the 3 Danish Morgans (with the tops down :cool:) gave me big cheesy grins and waves when I gave them the thumbs up going across the FRB!! :D:D

To be honest most people in Minis just give you a blank look now if you flash or wave at them :disapprove: . I tend not to bother now (unless I recognise it as a NMS car) but I always try to return a wave or flash - if I'm quick enough :I ;) .

I have always waved to the MINI's up here and they are only just starting to wave back (mostly women mind you, must be my devilishly good looks :D) persistance is what you need.

Over 90% of the MINIs in Edinburgh never wave back ,just give ya icey looks instead......keep having to try and remember not to wave at minis anymore as people will think im a nutter cau7se im not even driving one :D

See! You complimant a girl, call her cute and point out that it's amazing these people ain't falling out of their cars to wave back. What do you get for your trouble? Abuse that you got their hair colour wrong, despite the fact that it's not the same colour for more that 17 minutes! Wimen!!! Sheesh!:blackeye::(

The blacked out windows probably help!;)

What about making a flyer which we could give to the MINI dealers to hand them to new customers?:) Then they would know why they are being waved at and what they are missing out on! :cool:
Also how about these inside window stickers we talked about ages ago to identify peeps from here? Anymore thoughts?

ummm... I actually did this at JC's one Sunday afternoon, to a rather attractive young lady, as she was ordering a Mini..

Like Fontal says.. must've been the dashing good looks...

Don't know about anyone else, but when I got my mini, I received a thing on mini etiquette (SP!!) through the post and it told you about waving etc.....
p.s. Big C, I've had the same 4 colours in my hair for about 3 months now (and yes, all 4 at once, oo-er!! Hows that for commitment!!);):D
