Why do some people that own older Brit cars have this negative attitude 
towards the new MINI? I don't see the same attitude towards Jaguar, or 
Aston-Martin , both of which are now foreign owned. Nor am I aware of 
such an attitude towards Rover when it was owned by BMW.

It is a problem to the point that many MINI owners will no longer be 
involved with classic Mini events due to the overtly negative attitude 
and actions of some older Mini owners.

I don't get it. What's the problem?

It's possible that some of the MINI owners you pass are too busy 
shifting with one hand and steering with the other to wave.
