More Hammer & Coop ads found. The April 2007 issue of Best Life has a three-page article ad called "The Buddy System" on pages 54-56. The April 2007 issue of Men's Fitness has the Hammer & Coop movie poster ad inside the back cover (page 181).

 

For 2007, MINI USA has combined the MINI Motoring Accessories and MotoringGear brochures into a single brochure called "The Fully Authorized, Utterly Definitive & Largely Unabridged Motorer's Guide to the You-niverse". Your local MINI dealer has them now.

 

Time to resurrect this thread!

I stopped by my local dealership today to drop off some flyers for an upcoming event and started poking around their brochures, something I've never done while there. Here's what I picked up:



In the upper left is the "You-niverse" guide jamesday mentions right above this post. Attached to the inner cover is a pull-out poster with a glow-in-the-dark starry night sky! The upper right is the new 2007 guide to the Cooper and Cooper S. The lower right is the updated MINI Motoring Accesories workbook. And something I've never seen before is in the lower left - a brochure on Dinan performance upgrades!

But my best finds are below. While poking around the display case of motoring gear, I happened to look on top of the case itself. There, covered in dust, were these beauties:





(My apologies for the lens flare on this one - it's not obscuring anything interesting, though.)

Each poster is ~3.5 ft by 2.5 ft. And completely free!! The MA I asked about them didn't even realize they were there and just handed them to me. There was only one of the aero kit posters after I took mine, but a ton of the Italian Job ones.

And for the heck of it, here's the shirt I made from the Hammer & Coop iron-on transfer showing up in magazines:

 

A couple new finds:

I split the MINI Print Ads and Inserts list into two pages:

• MINI print ads and inserts 2001-2005
• MINI print ads and inserts 2006-2007

 

The Hammer & Coop ads keep coming.

The black & white glossy photo ad is in the May 2007 issue of Motor Trend (between pages 24 & 25).

A six-page flip magazine spread called REVd Magazine is in the June 2007 issue of Car and Driver (pages 205-back cover).

Anyone still collecting ads?

 

Heck yeah!! As always, thanks for all the updates. I need to check this thread a little more often... It's been pretty quiet in here eh?

When is a catalog not a catalog? When it is a deck of playing cards. The new MINI MotoringGear Spring/Summer 2007 catalog is out:

 

Oh Wow!
I have to get me one of those (or a couple ...)

 

I got this cool notebook from my local dealer. It was given to MAs at a training event in Montreal, Canada.

 

I just got a deck of those too!

 

Cool little MINI sound system hitting the market. Or it could just be me that is seeing this for the first time.

Oh and there is some guy on eBay that jacked the price and is selling them too

 

Mike managed to get 3 decks of the cards from our local dealer. They had them hidden away...

Smokey - I've not seen that sound system advertised. Kinda cute in a way...

First new MINI ad in a while!

There are two versions of this ad: one is a one-sided printed ad, the other is a two-sided insert on thicker stock.

Printed ad:
Car and Driver. September 2007. (page 23)


Printed insert:
Road & Track. September 2007. (between pages 104 & 105)

 

Thanks! I found the ad on the shelf in Car & Driver but not in Road & Track. As always, thanks for the "finding" tips...

AutoWeek - October 22 issue - just got it in the mail today - on page 47 - The Ad is called "Dust Nutrition Facts". It looks like the stickers on products that show serving sizes, calories, etc.

Got this from my dealer today:



About 18 pictures printed on heavy stock (suitable for framing) with a factoid on the other side. It's held together with a thick rubber band with a simulated tire tread. Also included is a temporaty tatoo.
