Got my Goodie package Friday from MINIUSA...

Anybody else get theirs yet? It's got some cute stuff in it - because ours is a Cabrio, there are a few Cabrio specific items......I don't want to spoil the surprise for those who haven't gotten theirs yet...:smile:

Chow!

Got our's on Wednesday

We received ours this past Wednesday.
I wonder how it works? Is it initiated by the dealer or Mini USA?
We signed up with Mini USA Owner's lounge.
The package is pretty nice.

I believe it is initiated by MINIUSA not the dealer. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

I know it's not initiated by signing up in the Owners Lounge - because in the package, there is a little card that shows you and tells you to sign up there if you haven't already...hum......interesting......because most people DO sign up in the Owners Lounge BEFORE the car is delivered - because that is where you track your car....:smile:

Chow!

Nope - definitely not a Holiday thing. We got one when we bought our 2002 MCS. It usually takes 6-8 weeks to arrive. So if you haven't seen anything within another month or so, contact MINIUSA and find out why you haven't seen it yet....:smile:

Chow!

If I recall correctly, you get the goodie package only if your Dealership participates in that program. From what I remember, not all of them do.

Donna, I'll PM you/call you to find out what the goodies are, so we don't spoil the surprise for the others!

Got my goodie package from Mini last month and about a week later I received a 1lb tin of cookies from Mini of Nashville as a thank you gift. Oh, by the way the cookies were great, lasted about 2 days and the tin was imprinted with the Mini logo!!!!!!!

Anyone know if MINI of St. Louis/Autohaus of Clayton participates in this program?

The 2005 hardtop goodie bag is the exact same as the 2004, FYI. However, now both of us have a MINI pen, instead of fighting over one.

Got both of my goodie boxes a couple of weeks ago too. Hey Oldhippie, I got some of those cookies from Mini of Nashiville also and man I'm still enjoying those things. We were lucky enough to receive two tins from Mini of Nashville since me and the wife both bought Minis from them.

Oldhippie, it only took one test drive in the Mini for the wife to become addicted to the car. She even had me sell the 04 Toyota Sienna van we bought just 10 months ago. Being that we have 4 kids we travel everywhere in both Minis. I have to say I didn't think I'd like that idea, but we have really enjoyed both cars. She's even asked me about autocrossing this spring. Now that's a great wife!!!

As of May 2003 they did, as I got one with my 03 MCS. I hope they still do, since I will be taking delivery of my 05 MCSC from them the first or second week of December.

Who was your MA in '03, and who is your MA for the MCSC? Are you keeping the hard top MCS?

Then mine should be here soon if it's coming! I picked my HB/W MCS over a month ago.

Hi Avitor,


My MA at Mini Of St Louis was and is Devin. An no I did not keep my coupe I really wanted to, so then I would have a matching pair, but my husband and I have had a bad habit of keeping more cars than we have garage space for, so now we have been "downsizing" I sold my coupe back in September, so I am so ready to get back to driving a Mini again -

Hope you receive your "goodie box" soon !

Linda
