It has to be a decoder coming - something that blocks out a certain color or color range. When blocking out some levels of grey you can see the Cooper S, just not the text (which should show up the same way the Cooper S did). This could be because the ad was scanned then compressed and just isn't showing it that well - or I'm blind. The scan quality is great though! I'm sure it says something like "Let's Motor"... Since we already own a MINI that phrase would apply us. A non-MINI owner could not "Motor"

Knowing how my mail service is, I'll get mine next year(if I'm lucky-if not, I'll never see it).

Got my decoder as well

Anyone figure this thing out as yet ? I look rather dorky with the 3d glasses trying to make sense of this thing.

I just got the package in the mail with the tools to decode these messages.

Now I just need a real copy of the ad and I'm all set to decode.

I too need to find Blender

I need Blender. We received that box of goodies about 2-3 weeks ago just after we purchased the car.

My kit arrived today too... I've never bought Blender before but now I'm thinking of picking up a certain issue.

Of course I didn't say this, but maybe you can just wear your glasses into the bookstore and scope out the ad, get info and motor on.

MINIUSA intends to send out the decoder kit to all 150,000 MINI owners in the U.S. This is all the work of MINIUSA's new ad agency BSSP.

I got my first MINI in June 2002, and my latest in March 2005 - I've no idea which MINI triggered the package but it arrived today!
