As the title suggests, when you pass another mini driver what do you tend to do? Just trying to get a general opinion.

Cheers

I've waved at 1100 owners.... but they're usually too cross-eyed to see me, or too busy having a conversation with their other head to notice

never wave at bini owners, but they rarely wave at me anyway. I made one REALLY angry with me when she pulled up beside me at the lights, and I turned away, when I looked back she was ranting and bashing her steering wheel

I'd beep if the horn worked but generaly I wave, and out of courtesy expect a wave back, which somtimes isnt the case (snobby B@5t@rds)
Is it cause im in a clubby?

i normally give a beep beep if other mini owners havent noticed and then give a wave.
you know i've noticed land rover defender owners do the same thing.....pretty cool
imagine if commodore and exel owners did it :lol: you'd get booked for not keeping your hands on the wheel
