I decoded the second ad for the new ad campaign that appeared in my new issed of Car & Driver, but when I go to the site that appears when decoded, I simply end up at miniusa.com. Does anybody know if there's something hidden on that site I should be looking for?

 

I dont know about that, i did the same thing and i got really confused

 

Well, crap. I still haven't gotten my box!

 

I did the same thing. The Owner's Lounge hasn't been updated for the second round of ads yet so maybe that website isn't up yey either, I'd say give them a couple weeks.

 

How do you get a box???? I have a canadian mini, am I elegible for the
black box?

 

I doubt it, flannel. This is a MINIUSA thing...not a MINICANADA thing, going out to all those who have purchased MINIs in the US. Sorry, dear.

 

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO, I bought him un the US, but made in Canada.

 

I still can not even access the page on the first one my VIN is not recoognized...

I never got to the first page either. Maybe I had the address wrong.... it was just a placeholder type page with nothing MINI related on it

 

Here is the link

Aaah... I left out the dash.

That was not very exciting though. Hmf.

 

Hysterical fake web site, though! Glad MINIUSA has a sense of humor.

 

The website is not up yet, same thing happened the first time.

 

I thought that all MINIs were made in oxford, Britain

 

Well, they are, its the canadian launch edition, just a special model made for canada.

 

I don't know if it was coincidence or what but when it wouldnt take my vin, which I entered lower case, I re-entered with caps for the letters and it worked. Go figure.

 

Love your sig..."EVERYONE KNOWS A RED CAR IS FASTER"
to which I agree and can only add:
"ESPECIALLY THE COPS!"
Once when stopped by a cop in my Dakar Yellow Z3, he asked what the color was called. I replied "my friends call it "arrest me yellow"". I got off with a warning.

 

So whats the difference between an american MINI and a canadian one?

 

I think the Canadian models come stock with snow tires and a free tooke.

 

Heated sport seats, leather steering wheel, fogs, and other stuff I cont remember... Oh yeah, ASC> Only offered to Canadian Launch MC.(And MCS, not regular MC)

 

So the only real difference is that those options are standard, but doesnt it cost you a little more anyway?

 

So you bought the Canadian edition MINI in the US?

 

bump

 

The third ad is out...who else put in for their prize for getting all three?

 

It was done for MTTS not the current ad campaign
