watch for one with stripes, stickers, spotlights or something that makes them look "interested". Then wave. Also wave at Classic Minis :)

i'll give that a try, but no one normally waves back and i end up feeling like a a?*e lightbody!!

oh i saw a smashing wee classic orange mini in Falkirk on Sunday night looked lovely :)

Try flashing easier to spot, trouble is they are a lot more common so less people flash/wave back :(

I live near dunfermline in fife and there are a few minis which pass me every day on the way to work...only one of them waves! I still wave/flash at them all though. Its fab when fellow mini lovers flash back.

Don't stop flashing folks!!

But be very careful when flashing other Minis!!
Some other idiot on the rouad might mistake that for you signalling it's ok for them to pull out in front of you or otherwise cut you up! :mad::mad:

Think we need to start a campaign to get people waving and flashing again!!??!! We could get stickers and the nice people in the mini dealers to tell all of their customers that if they pass another mini they must wave or flash!!

If someone in an Avensis flashed at me I'd think there was something wrong :p;)

I don't bother any more unless we are out on an NMS run.

I think the flash / wave scene will die off soon IMHO as the MINI is now so popular & there are tons of them on the road.

Broon's sales targets will all have been met & he must be worth a mint;)

maybe even a minstrel :p
