The same MINI Takes the States ad from Rolling Stone is also in the August 2006 issue of Automobile on page 11. 
In a size to fit in a binder page.

Greater Gotham MINI Motoring School patches. . .
Only problem is you have to visit the dealership with a certificate to get them. Good thing I have a buddy who picked these two up for me.

Yay!!
I read on MotoringFile that all MINI owners would be getting a special surprise...And I got mine in the mail today!
I took some photos of the goods. (Hopefully the link works!)
One of the items decodes the ad in the August 2006 issue of Maxim (page 85). So only MINI owners are going to be able to read the hidden message in the ad!

My brother-in-law gets ESPN The Magazine and says there is a "Quarantine Kit for MINI Enthusiasts" in the recent issue. I hope to get a photo of the ad soon but have no time to go pick it up.

One of my co-workers brought this in today, He ripped the copy, but don't worry been instructed in how remove future finds.
Very funny
A hundred miles a day keeps the doctor away.
Close up:
Comes with a Quarantine letter, stickers and Instructions. I haven't got my camera with me today, but I'll post a photo when I get home in the morning.

This is the latest "Modernism" ad in Dwell Magazine, September 2006. This is the third of five ads about wonders of the modern world, and highlights the Chinati Foudation art gallery in Marfa, Texas. It also discusses the Marfa "mystery lights" in the west Texas desert. Here's a sample paragraph from the back of the ad:
"Art installations. Bizarre phenomena. Texas. Where could you go wrong? So cop a squat in a sport seat, grip the leather steering wheel and motor over to Marfa."

Ian, you must spill it. Where did you get that book about the MINI Concept?
I was in Canada last weekend and picked up a few brochures on MINI gear, but not on the MINIs themselves.
When I got home, someone from Sunshine MINIs had sent me his Black Box, so now I have an extra.

The book was on sale at the British Motorshow - money raised went to a UK charity.
Someone I regularly buy items from on eBay picked up a copy and sold it to me along with an eBay win (which was also from the Motorshow - a MINI USB stick)
