I am a newbie to the mini world (mine is in transit). I have read in some other threads about a welcome kit. Is this still something they do and if so, when does it arrive? Thanks!

 

I picked up my MINI Oct 8th 05 and got my welcome kit sometime around late November early December. So I assume they continued it on the 2006 model year.

 

My MCS was delivered on 12-13-05 & I got the welcome box a week or so ago.

thanks very much for the feedback

 

What ever happened to "Lets be suprised?"

 

What's in a welcome kit?

 

Box Blank MINI notepad 2 MINI bingo gamecards Unauthorized owner's manual CD case of MINI Messages Financial services manual MINI Floaty Pen of red MINI driving from NY to London! Business card holder Let's Motor rubber band Plus a couple papers like Welcome note from MINI, etc.

You can see an example here.

 

Oh that's a rubber band. Boy do I feel silly now. I thought it was an emergency supercharger replacement belt. I've got it in my glove box, just in case.

Congrats On The New MINI! And Happy Motoring!

 

nothing worth waiting for!

 

Welcome to NAM!

Your welcome kit will prolly take a few months... (mine always have...2 months or so) so just forget about it, motor a lot, and then one day... suprise!

 

My floaty pen has a Mini going from Hollywood, CA to NYC. Viva la difference!

I took delivery Dec 1 and got my kit in January about 5 or 6 weeks later

 

mine came about a month after i got the car

 

MIB was delivered December 9 2005 and the welcome kit came in Feb of 2006!

 

My welcome kit had BINGO CARDS and FLASH SIGNS as well

 

And don't forget....you may also get a cup holder and MINI mug....at least I did.

 

Mine arrived about a month after I rec'd the car...it has a lot of fun things in it...I really enjoyed the ticket book and the little signs you can hold up for other drivers/riders to read on the fly....I didn't get one that says "Miss Daisy DOES NOT drive this car", but that's okay, I'll make one up. A new addition to the kit is the labels for the toggle switches. The "EJECT" label got the best reactions.... Mick
