"MINI NOTE"

I got a letter from MINI in the mail today. There was a note that said "Rumor has it there might be a new MINI headed your way. Now it's time to visit the driveway, garage or parking venue of your choosing (as long as it's yours) and stake out a little territory for you and your MINI." Attached was a stencil for "MINI PARKING ONLY".

Anyone else get this? Please say no and tell me I won a sweepstakes for a brand new MINI!

I got one too, I think they send them out to prospective buyers and people who send in builds? That's what I did, I sent over an R52 build and was mulling the idea over when they sent me mine!

Yes I got one a couple of days ago, I was surprised when I opened the envelope, and found the stencil inside.

I'll trade you one of my stencils for one of your MINIs.

Is this the same stencil that was in some magazines (home subscriptions only)?? Was it a green stencil? Anyone have a photo?

Got it, and my OCD hubby won't let me use it to spray the space in the garage hot pink. The nightly backrubs may just have to stop!

I didn't get one these. So if I email minius that I want one, they'll mail me one? That's awesome.

I just got one of these today, which is odd as 1) I bought my MINI privately, 2) I haven't ordered a new build 3) I've not saved a build via the website either.

I got the MINI note and the stencil late last week. The stencil is buff colored, heavy weight recycled paper, akin to some greeting cards. I've had my MINI for the past 15 months, and am not aware of having entered any contest or sweepstakes.

We've had our 05 cabrio for almost three years, and we haven't received a stencil either.
