This is the best company. I got a new mug that FITS in the cup holders and and great cd rom with videos of EVERY feature the MINI has. I thought I new everything about my baby, but I learned alot from the CD. The best thing I learned was how to close the trunk without getting finger prints all over the outside of the car. Use the little handles on the inside of the trunk. Works great!
The only bad thing about the cup is it had a Orange top. I would have liked a red top to match the car.


I can't wait for my next gift!!!!!!!

Mine was orange, too! I wonder if they got a good deal on orange cups, put the MINI logo on and sent out as a PR bandaid.....

Yeah, when I saw the woman in the video close the trunk I thought "No Way", but with a couple of practice gos I can now close it in one sweep!.


Heh!

Didn't you think that the glovebox A/C on-off switch was cool?! I had seen it before, deep inside the box, but thought it was just a connector to the dash.

Yeah, MINI rules... I just got my mug and CD-ROM today too. I finally
got my official Roadside Assistance package yesterday, too, with the
"MINI Messaging" pack and stuff. Too much fun.

As a side note, Winnie went in for her first oil change and service this
morning. The CD 31 upgrade works wonders... They fixed the sunroof
rattle, too! Once again, kudos to MINI of Peabody for another job well
done!

Orange is your least favourite?!?! What the hell!??! I would have gotten an orange MCS in a heartbeat if they came in orange! It could only help with visibility and help the moron in the SUV who reversed out of his driveway in front of me last night while I was doing 50. Oh yeah...the anti-lock brakes feel weird compared to other anti locks I've encountered. Worked well though.

Wow! What a nice surprize to get the cup in the mail today. I too, could live without the orange, but am glad to finally have something that fits the cup holders! And although I appreciate the "niceties", I have a feeling that they got so many complaints about the cup holders that they felt they must do something!

I got mine today too! None of the videos on the CD-Rom will work for me though. I get the sound, but no pic's. I'll figure it out eventually...

Agro, I'm with you on the orange - I love orange! I was actually thinking of buying an orange Cadillac CTS before I got bit by the MINI bug - Stop laughing!

I actually already bought 2 of the cool orange travel mugs from my dealer - so now I have three. ORANGE ROCKS!

Hey guys! I got mine today too, but I had already bought one. Now I have 2. Unfortunatly they only come in orange, but oh well, I like orange anyway. I also got my MINI motoring kit on Saturday. This company is so much fun to deal with. (even though I didnt get a #ed t-shirt)

I'm guessing they sent out the mugs all at once
