MINI Adventure Kit questions

Does anyone know:
How long have they been sending them out?
Have they always had the same contents?
For 2nd-time owners - did you get a second one or are they only for newbies?
(If I get a second one, I may save it in it's shrink-wrap - who knows - it may be a collector's item some day - in 70 or 80 years )

We received a MINI adventure kit as a newbie back in 02' and with both of our 05's. Still waiting to see if we get one with our new 08'. Sure hope so! And no, they have not been the same. Slightly modified each year...

Adventure kit? What is supposed to be in them? I don't have anything lying around that could be it. I do have the original tag from the mirror though, and the window sheet detailing specs.

I also got one in '02 when I bought my first MINI and a slightly modified one after I got my '07.

Btw Donna/Mike - congrats on the '08. You'll love the R56!

A Welcome Kit from MINIUSA. It usually comes to your house in the mail about 2 months or so after you've taken delivery of your MINI...

I called MINI and told them I just got my MINI and I was the 2nd owner and I've got one coming my way

It's nice that Mini sends you something, however if you don't get one, you aren't missing anything. GMC sent me a very nice and complete first aid kit and an executive style umbrella. I use these items and carry them in my Z3. Since the GMC, I have had a Lexus LS400, BMW Z3, Lexus GS350, and the Mini. Believe it or not, the items GMC sent were the most useful and expensive. I threw my "adventure Kit" away except for the pen.
