Package in the Mail
I received a package in the Mail today. It was a in a reusable bag from MINI
I bought My 2013 Mini Cooper S Coupe at the end of August , so maybe this is for new Mini customers?
Inside:
1)The Mini international magazine.
2)"let's motor" rubber band.
3) A large die -( don't know what for?)
4) A "rubber" Mini - I thought at first was an eraser, but turns out to be a 16gb flash drive - Cool.
5) A stick-on name tag.
6) A book "101 fundamentals of cool motoring".
7) A black "mini' diary/log/journal
8) "Motor like a pro" post card.
9) An information book.
Very cool

Maybe the large die is to hang from the rear-view mirror.

Could be, it does have one small hole in one of the corners. But no string.

I got a package after about six months. Did you sign up on mini's website to track your vehicle?. I use the mini flash drive at work.

If you mean tracking it from custom orders then yes, it's only for new cars.

at the 'special showing' of (new) Italian Job they had Italian Job ant' ***** for us, yellow with black lettering ... and I used that for many years. My 07's 'box' also came with an 8 Ball - I still have it btw - but by then I was using
A yellow orb makes the car easy to find in the parking lot!

My MINI dealership had foam checkered flags on their cars now. They are free.

I feel ripped off. My package arrived a week or two ago, flash drive was only 1 GB. And the single file on it, a web link, was to a 404 error.

4 months for me, and the drive is 1MB - not 16. Also included a nice ballpoint pen and a MINI-shaped paperclip. And if you turn the delivery bag inside-out, it's a small backpack.

I got mine just one month after my new(est) MINI. Different stuff in the bag though (I think OP's stuff is cooler!)
Best part, though is the gunny sack- I use it every day!
