Welcome to the neighborhood, Mini Package

It was on my doorstep when I got home. I've wanting it when I first got my Mini, and then after a couple of days driving the Batmini, I completely forgot about it until today. Today for some odd reason I started wondering if it would even show up.

It did. Now. What's in it? If I open it before the wife get's home she'll get ticked, but I wanna know now!!! Arg! Spoilers welcome! Pun intended!

Y'all have fun w/ your packages...after a few years MINI will forget you even exist and you'll have to stand on the sidelines watching everybody else have fun w/ their new MINI stuff, hoping some small crumb will fall your way only to be sluffed off as a "has been" owner of an increasingly-discontinued MINI...your only joy in rereading Robson's "New Mini" which at least has pictures of your now defunct car.

Not that I'm bitter.....at least the car is still good!

Yea, what's in it? Being stationed in Germany, we don't get one because we aren't in the BMW North America System. That's ok! I will get one eventually! One way or another!

I'll give you a hint. You may need some spray paint.

Sorry to keep my fellow motor'ers in suspense. Been out motoring.


The contents are:
1. Black carboard 'Welcome to the neighborhood' shipping box, with a white silouette (sp) of a Mini on it.
2. Mini messaging kit. Pre-written large font cards, for messaging passers by.
3. Unauthorized Owner's Manual
4. "Let's Motor" large rubber band
5. Black 'Mini Motoring Journal'
6. Roadside assistance card w/Vin on the card
7. Mini 'idosyncracies' pamphlet
8. 2 page 'Mini USA Owner's lounge' pamphlet
9. 2 notes from Mini USA:
a. One thanking me for buying a Mini
b. One from Mini Financial Services
10. Mini logo'd business card holder, with what appears to be business card advertisements to give to friends/fellows.
11. "Interstate Highway Bingo" game. 2 Big bingo cards, with resuable markers, looking for things on the highway. Whoever gets 5 in a row first, BINGO!
12. Super-keen black Mini pen, Hollywood in the background, and the redmini motor's on by when you tilt it.
