On the marketing front, I just got the new issue of Men's Fitness today and there's a really cool MINI insert in it. It is a build-it-yourself milk carton, which you can use as a visual aid to convey the need to motor out for some milk. Including picture instructions.



"Let's run out of milk. Let's run out of bread. Let's run out of t.p. Let's run out of anything so we can run out to the corner and back. Let's just never run out of gas. Let's Motor.

Motoring rejuvinates tired weary bones and promotes bright healthy smiles. Get your daily allowance of adrenaline by popping over to MINIUSA.COM. "

...And of course, the name of the milk is Oxford Road Farms.

 

I want to go for a dozen eggs one at a time.

If you take the curves fast enough and don't secure the eggs well enough, you can make the egg acquiring errand similar to Sisyphus' punishment in Hades (although motoring in a MINI could never be a punishment)

 

I've got that milk carton sitting on my kitchen counter. My neighbor gave it to me. From what I understand, it was a pain to put together, but he did a great job.

It's very cute

 

very funny and creative add. Yesterday my wife's co-worker gave her a copy of the "milk carton". I have now put it together with my collection of MINI memoriblia.


You never know if this stuff will be of some value in the future!

 

I have the same ad from my European Car magazine.

Very, very cool.

Wow, references to Sisyphus in MINI Talk. I think you have seriously upped the intellectual ante in this card game. Um. . .er. . .I fold.

Cheers,

 

One of my co-workers gave me this advertisment and I stuck it up in my cube with the rest of my MINI stuff!

 

I liked this one almost as much as the older multi-page ad that showed the circular ramps to a parking garage and said 'soon, this will be your favorite stretch of road.'. That one included a barf bag for the passenger. :smile:
