Lessee... The manual, registration, Nav CDs (#@%$ non-DVD system
) an 120volt power inverter, cel charger, tire gauge, Swisstool, GMRS radio, LED flashlight, a few other odd 'n' ends. The glovebox organizer makes it all tidy and easy to fetch without digging.

Manual, Insurance Card. Spare CD in case I forget the iPod. Cable to AUX input, spare deposit envelopes for the ATM.
Sparse and boring, but I don't like things rattling around in there, so I tend to keep it as empty as I can.

Owner's Manual, vehicle registration, CDs, The Italian Job antenna ball, Sunshine MINIs business cards, small fold-out MINI brochures to give to the curious, two-way radio for MINI caravans.
In my German MINI center armrest I have more business cards, Smints, a digital camera, an IKEA pencil, 6 small pull-back MINIs, and gas receipts.

I feel proud about the amount of crap I have in my glove box.
Most of you if you ever pulled over on some deserted road to help someone broken down and they asked if you had a flange reamer and some duct tape would only be able to pull out an insurance policy, ipod and owners manual.
All I have to do is say give me a second… Here will this work.
If I was truly racing I would take the Dwarf Star material out for weight reasons, but I don’t really race, so what’s it matter about a few extra gazillion tons of stuff in there.
Someone on the road may need it as I'm passing along.

I'm not much of a girl. I never carry a purse.. everything i need goes in my back pockets, cup holder, or glovebox... since i'm almost always with my MINI.
And my passengers have a thing for opening up my glove box to see whats inside. All of them. When they see all that crap, especially the female products, they stay out of it from then on.

Yeah, euro pass side shelf, i believe its an early, early 02 part.
Manual, registration, note pad, pencil, cigarette lighter. Cell charger lives in the outlet.
Now behind my seats, QD and micro fibre cloths, glass cleaner and cloths, jug of wiper juice, extension cord for block heater, snow brush and ice scraper, ditch clothes, folding shovel. In the cubby's in the boot, quart of oil in one, quart of anti-freeze in the other. My door, hand crank LED flashlight.
Will be putting some candles in the glovebox as soon as temps. stay below freezing so they don't melt.

Calling all owners with cig lighters in the glove box
Mine seems to have eloped with my valet key, so if anyone would like, I could take yours off your hands (the lighter, not the valet key
). I'm not a smoker, I just wish my car was "complete", since it's less than a year old and all...
AND, did you know that, to replace a lost valet key, the dealer "orders it for you" (which i don't mind at all) at a cost of around 30 bucks (which i resent very much indeed)?
What a racket
- guess I'll do without.

Edit: Oh yeah, the glove box thing... MAPS a'plenty since I have a map fetish apparently, near empty bottle of Bayer aspirin in the door compartment, a couple paper napkins, and that elegant "organizer" thingy that contains all my MINI propaganda.
I have the requisite pens, tire gauge, calculator, and gas receipts in that cubby space under the toggles.

And to DrDiff, you can always check out MINIUSA's "virtual glove box" to pass the dreaded Waiting Time (don't do it, I just made that up).

edit: If i see your missing dried sea monkeys at large, I will report it to the authorities, you may be assured of that. Here's to a quick reunion!
