Letter from MINI
 
Hello everyone! I am a Mini enthusiast and joined this site because I have a question:

I got a "Mini Note" saying "Rumor has it that you're getting a new Mini..." and it included a parking stencil.

I don't recall ordering one... Is this some sort of a sick marketing ploy?! :lol: I've wanted one for a while and I found receiving this letter as a funny coincidence. Has anyone else gotten this letter?

Thanks!
Willi

We got a similar note after we ordered ours. But the stencil came much later....:)

I just got the stencil the other day and my Mini was delivered a couple weeks ago.

Normally this is sent out to those that have placed an order for a MINI and are awaiting the arrival.
Let me ask a few questions that may help sort all this out...
  • First off are you prone to sleeping walking to the MINI dealership? :roll:
  • Second, are you an alcoholic that suffers from blackouts and may not remember ordering one? :sly:
  • And lastly, do you have a spouse that may have ordered one behind your back as a surprise and MINI ruined it by sending you the "MINI Note". :eek:
If you answered yes to one or all of the above then congratulations, you're now the proud owner of a brand new MINI. :thumbsup:

No and no to the first two. :razz:

But does my fiancee love me that much??:lol: I've joked around the last couple Christmases about wanting a Mini, but.... :confused:

I'll keep everyone posted!

I have gotten a few of these...
Have you built a Mini on Mini USA's website and saved it?
Have you contected a dealership? (even for events, a quote, or even a message)
It seems that after I send a dealer a question, I get a stencil. (I have about 6 of them)

Even made one into a poster
(Sorry took the picture with my iMac so there is a glare and it is backwards...I tried:) )

When I took a test drive I know they had to copy my license and they needed my information for insurance reasons (or if i decided to take it home...without paying), so you probably gave info and don't even realize it....
