saw 5 minis on the recce for the Argyll Run and none of them waved or flashed their lights :eek::eek::blackeye:. We were not just snubbed by any particular model, they were all represented (one, one d, cooper and cooper s). I thought MarkyC was going to jump oot the motor at one point.:D

It was just like driving though Stirling - nobody waves there either.!;)

The couple of times I've had my golf out a trip (see pic below Mk1 GTi Sopft Top) any other Mk1 that I pass waves at me, and I wave back! Us VW owners must be a bit friendlier!:cool:

Well I am pleased to report that whilst touring around the Highlands on the weekend I was flashed and waved to by almost all mini's I saw and most of them flashed or waved first!! :)

My mum who's visiting from Sydney (and owns a classic) was delighted by the friendliness of the Scottish new mini owners and she's going to start waving/flashing to mini drivers back in Sydney on return home. :cool:

Keep the faith, NMS members and keep flashing and waving - it still cheers up my day to get a returned wave or flash!!! :D

:cool:

That fine sales team at Menzies Mini, Clare i mean, :eek::eek:;) have been told in no uncertain terms that when they handover a Mini the owners are 'informed' of whats expected of them when they see another Mini, if they don't they get the car taken back of them :eek::eek::D

To all those who don't GET WAVING and to all those who do keep up the good work ARE YOU LISTENING STIRLING PEOPLE!!!!!!!:D:D;)
