OK guys... I never got the spy kit but here is the info for the 3rd "prize"... get a magazine that has the new "ad" in it... Mens Health and Rolling Stone are an example.... find the Ad.. there is a message there that must be read with the Red glasses that come in the spy kit... having no spykit I used red celophane.... had to double it to make it work but tada... I now have the website and have "ordered" my final goodie... I can share the website via pm if anyone is interested but its more fun to make your own glasses!

Thanks, eeniMini. Whoop-de-doo, I'll get one of the magazines on the way home. I'm pretty sure I've got red cellophane around the house somewhere.

HAVE FUN!

It has four sets of bolts/self locking nuts to attach the license plate. I bought the metal license plate frame from Pep Boys. I really like it; so much better than drilling holes in the bumper. Dave at GoMiniGo is a great guy. He'll help you if you have any problems with the install.
Thanks Sissy! I'll have to get me one of those.

Also thanks Aggiemini for the tip about e-mailing miniusa to get a spy kit. I've been wondering how to get one.

Giants...it's at the miniusa website under 'contact us' or just call the ASK MINI number, I hear that will work too, to get a spy kit sent...

I am hearing since we bought MINIs after July that we missed the automatic shipping of spy kits.

"winter"

Wow - I had to drive to work this morning with the top up for the first time. Guess I didn't have to, but it was down around 48 degrees. I've softened up since moving from Colorado...

I emailed MINIUSA and gave them my VIN. This is the response I got:

It looks like both your MINI Confidential Kit and your Welcome Kit should still be on their way to you. It typically takes about six weeks after the delivery of your MINI for your MINI Confidential Kit to arrive and about eight weeks after delivery for your Welcome Kit to arrive. If you don't receive your MINI Confidential Kit in the next week and a half, please let me know and I will be happy to request another copy for you. Similarly, if your Welcome Kit does not arrive in the next three weeks or so, please let me know so that I can request a copy of that as well.
so hopefully mine will be here soon!

Giants and MiniDreams, I e-mailed MiniUSA to request the Spy Kit a few days ago. Got a really nice e-mail back from them.... My kit is on it's way too.

I've got to go out today to get one of the magazines. Thanks, Aggie, for telling us how to get our kits.

I still don't have my welcome kit

I did get a couple of waves while driving up and down the coast highway today though Had a pleasant chat with another gentleman in a silver mcsc while waiting for a signal to change!

Rachel - did I see you leaving the parking garage at the Shops at Mission Viejo last Sunday evening? Saw a grey Mini with the Irvine Mini plates still on it. I wasn't in my car at the time, so I didn't wave....
