Came with a handy tip sheet with it's own envelope and the manual gave other tips regarding storage, customizing, romance in the MINI, your MINI as a musical instrument, and little decals to put above your toggle switches. One says "Oil slick".

I like the ejector seat button....next time I'm pulling 6500 rpms and my wife says, "SLOW DOWN" I may hit that instead...

Think you'll take their suggestion and paint it with red nail polish?

You can download it from the owner's lounge or you can
Click Here to download one or BOTH of the manuals (the real one and the unauthorized one). Motor On. :smile:

jhutton, It came in the mail today. I bought my car in June. This is the second item MINI sent. The first was the kit with the pen, journal, flashcards and bingo.

Mmm, yeah... I can't wait to get my real version in the mail. Downloaded it, but I want the stickers! Mwahaha. Only had the car for 2 weeks, so that won't be for awhile. Ah well.

Just one week after the unauthorized manual arrived, then came the radio aerial Flag with the MINI logo on it and the MINI music CD. Awesome! I wonder what gift #4 will be, maybe after 12 weeks of ownership.



(Okay, the above is not true -- I made it up. I did receive the Welcome to the Neighborhood box after six weeks. But now I'm just fantasizing...)

Hey that wouldn't be a bad idea! My husband thinks they should have a MINI CD with various songs with the word Motoring in them or something along those lines!

There WAS the Monkees CD that came with the Mini....I thought that was a total hoot! The first day I had my Mini I was driving around blasting it and singing. I think my boyfriend was ready to duct tape my mouth shut!
