Just got my 'Citations' in Autoweek, too.

They'll go in my '06 JCW MCS when it gets here, right next to the original "Motoring Barf Bag" that I have been carrying around in my Boxster S for 3 years! (yeah, I realize it has a little MINI Wings logo on it instead of a Porsche Crest ).

It's always fun to put a passenger with no prior sports car experience in the seat, strap them in tightly and then show them where I keep the Barf Bags!

The PDF file for the citation is on the MINI USA site - first listing under "motor on" Too big to attach as a file but downloadable there.

NP thought it might be easier. You could go and buy a stamp thinggy I bet you could even bring the form to officemax or one of those places and see if they could make a small carbon copy book of them... I think it would be funny to put on peoples cars.

And you could keep a record of them, which would be even more neat. That way you don't hit the same car twice

The "Unofficial" One.....

Okay all...I created an "Unofficial Motoring Citation" for those times when the friendly isn't quite what you had in mind.....it's a bigger download, so you'll have to get it from here (about 3.5 megs):

http://hoopi.org/Motoring_Citation_UnOfficial.pdf

Enjoy!

(geez, there are THREE threads around this similar topic!!!! I had to become a post-you-know-what to let everyone know)

I hate to say this but you have a typo in the "Inappropriate Vehicle Size" paragraph, spoling an otherwise perfect document (the word "condition" I believe). Please touch this up because I really want to use this !!!

Love the Unofficial Citation.

One thing I noticed(and I'm not complaining, just asking): On the orange section where the stamp belongs, shouldn't it say to mail the "complaint" home to your mother instead of "compliment"?

I've printed copies of both and plan on using them when the appropriate situation presents itself.

Thanks! Like the "Mail to Yourself" wording.

I'm off to the printer now.

Is the stamp area grammatical ? Wonder if I am looking at the latest version but it says, "Place Stamp Here and then Mail this to Yourself as Reminder to Be Behave Better!"

Should delete the "Be" or change "Behave" to "Behaved" I would think....

Sorry about the edits but we want this Perfect so that it gets the widest use !!
