MINI sent me a box of stuff today
I got a Pen with a floating MINI in it, a Journal book, Biz card holder, mesaging kit, MINI car bingo and even a logo'd rubber band.
Great stuff!!! Anyone else get this? I got my '04 about a month ago.

I received a gift box very much like that soon after getting my MCS -03. If MINI USA is doing things the same as when I bought my MINI you will receive some other gifts. I will not say what I received so if you receive them the surprise will be yours. :smile:

Tradition!
I think that the gift pack is an English tradition. When I bought my Land Rover in 1996, they included a large metal can with Tea, Crumpets, Biscuits, Marmalade, Smoked Salmon and Lemon Curd. No pen, though.

If you really want to spoil the surprise, you could do some research here on NAM to find out what other folks got in '02 and '03... <he he he>
My favorite surprise was the 1 year birthday card! It came via email and showed a MINI the same spec (visually) as mine! A friend who got his around the same time as me got a birthday card with a MINI the same spec as his! Way to go MINI!!!

Isn't that kit just the neatest?
I was really hoping mine wuold show up before I went motoring with the kids, so they could have fun with the game and the message cards (my kids are 10 and 16), but since I have only had my MINI for almost two weeks, so I do not expect to see the kit until sometime after we get back. Darn it.

Nothing yet (6 weeks today since delivery).
I did get some stuff from my MA at delivery though: a gift basket with tea, biscotti, "MINI mints" and other assorted snacks...a MINI of Fairfield County logo'd t-shirt depicting odometer reading 000068 (not 100% clear on the significance of the number)...an accessories catalog, and other assorted literature.

I got the same kit CruzinChris, but about 4 months after pickup. So those that are still counting weeks instead of months...wait a little while longer and you'll probably see the kit show up. I also got a Christmas card and a birthday letter from my MA. Both had personal, handwritten thanks and wishes in them so I know they weren't form letter stuff.
It’s the little things that make me happy. Well, that and this awesome little car...

I got the car 6-1/2 weeks ago...My MA said that the shirts were numbered sequentially, but I know they've sold more than 68 cars. Maybe #68 has been lying on the shelf for a while because most folks don't need a XXL shirt???

Never received anything from MiniUSA... other than an annoying phonecall
for some survey.
Even Mazda sent me a cool keychain flashlight when I bought their car...
which I converted into my MCS's illuminating coin holder.
Unichip included a keychain as well...
