Opting NOT to exchange electrical charges
with total strangers is up to the individual
motorer’s discretion. HOWEVER, random acts
of kindness do continue the flow of positive
energy. Which adds up to good motor mojo
for you.
Acknowledging Fellow Motorers
Dating back to MINI’s birth in the UK, there
exists a time-honored tradition of owners
greeting each other when they pass on the
streets. The moment you first sat in your MINI,
you became a member of the family. So, as is
customary, try and refrain from acts of shyness,
aloofness or woeful complacency. When you
pass another MINI, say, "Hey".
ESSENTIALS OF GOOD MOTORING MOJO
Fig. 26 Connect red to red. Black to ground. Stranger to stranger.
ESSENTIALS OF GOOD MOTORING MOJO
Index Finger Salute
Subtle. Sublime. "’Sup!"
Peace Sign
Though flower-powered Minis never lined the
interstates leading to Woodstock, N.Y., Minis did
enjoy a rather colorful bohemian past shuttling
shaggy-haired hipsters from Liverpool to
Amsterdam in the 60s. Then, as now, love is all
you need. That and petrol.
Thumbs Up
Appropriate when paying homage to Classic
Mini owners.
Motorer’s Oath of Honor
REPEAT: “On my honor, I do solemnly pledge
to be trustworthy, helpful, friendly, courteous,
kind, obedient, cheerful and brave.”
The Wave
Customarily, Mini-owning members of
Britain’s Royal Family always presented the
back of the hand, raised in a slow tight circular
motion when greeting subjects. You, living in a
democracy, may choose something a little less
upper-crusty when acknowledging throngs of
well-wishers along your parade route.
Tap-on-the-Roof
"Top of the Day". The motoring equivalent to
politely tipping your hat.
Winking the Lights
The motoring equivalent to batting your eyes.
