The dealerships now have many Clubman brochures and other promotional items. You can also get antenna *****.

ZIG. = MINI Hardtop
ZAG. = MINI Convertible
ZUG. = MINI Clubman



Also the small brochure The Book of ZUG. with ZIG. ZAG. ZUG. mailer cover. And the full-size MINI Cooper Clubman. MINI Cooper S Clubman brochure.


MINI dealers have chocolate fortune cookies with MINI Clubman fortunes inside. Here are two of them:



Post other fortune cookie fortunes in this thread.

There are also three different Clubman posters (not pictured).

 

I had some of the fortune cookies, but only because I wanted a little snack. I'll get an antenna ball when I come up with a name for my MINI since I feel so unworthy otherwise.

 

I'm hoping my MA will set aside some of these things for my MINI collection. I offered to pay him if necessary as I've been told there are no freebies. So much for waiting 2 years for the Clubby, eh. Guess I'll check out Ebay.

 

I had to drop Boris off at the dealer today, and got to check out the new Clubman. I expressed amusement at the Zug (I can't be the only one who gets Warcraft II flashbacks.) antenna topper, and my MA got me a Zig one for my MCS along with a couple of chocolate fortune cookies.

Mine said:

Overall I liked the car more than I thought I would. I really loved the new expanded boot area (it's flat, has lots and lots of tie downs and hooks, and comes w/ a boot box standard), though the only thing that mildly irked me was the pillar from the barn door. When you looked in the rear view mirror it gave the impression that you were viewing two little video displays of the view out the back. But it doesn't take too long to get used to (no longer than it takes to get used to the turn signals or radio controls).

 

Some dealers out there truly suck. My dealer always has given me expensive frebbies.

 

If you're looking for something specific and you can't get ahold of any, let me know. I know our local MINI club is invited to the dealer's Clubman launch party (and my MA is generally agreeable to simple requests), so I might be able to snag something for you.

 

I talked with him today and he is saving 2 fortune cookies and one of each of the antenna toppers. Still hoping for the brochure.
My Clubman is at the VDC so I am hoping for it to make it here sometime next week. My sister will drive my husband home in the Suburban as he is in a wheelchair. My 84-year-old mom is going to drive home with me in the Clubman. I can hear it now, "Eeeee-eee--eee." "Mom, I haven't even started yet"
I won't go fast anyway, but I think the size will make her a bit nervous.

 

I was in Canada two weeks ago and the dealership had just received their first two clubmans. They were very generous and seemed to get a kick out of us "Murkins" stopping in to visit their dealership, so I came home with all kinds of Canadian lit, including a Canadian Clubman brochure. Some of the lit is bi-lingual - English and Francois.

 

That's the spirit... Thanks! some of these "who moved my cheese" grumps around here need some objective perspective.

 

Good for you Club(wo)man! Great reference there in "Who Moved My Cheese"!

My Hot Chocolate w/black roof & mirrors is due to arrive at the dealership any day now and I cannot help but to notice that the BC/Black combo seems to be none to common. I wonder if I should be concerned. That silver sure does look good in all those pictures.

 

I concur!! I cannot wait for the Launch Party at Crevier!!

Mine gets here on March 17th... Yes I know, I'm late. But that is what I get for building it on Thanksgiving Day & sending it in after 20 other people did the same thing!!

I had a ZAG, now I'm getting a ZUG. Always the odd woman out!!

Speaking of ZUG... one of my wonderful neighbors found "the book of ZUG" ina magazine and saved it for me. I suspect he's trying to worm his way into the drivers seat once this baby arrives.

I'll have to think about it...

 

FYI The ZIG-ZAG-ZUG brouchure came in my European Car magazine's April issue.

It should be available on the newsstands for those of you who collect this stuff.

enjoy

 

Hopefully the news stand copies HAVE the ad. It's a crap shoot because most of the time, the cool unique ads only come in the subscription copies. Keeping my fingers crossed - I'd like to get another one for my collection.

My dealer had the brochures just sitting out (next to the Cooper, and Cabrio brochures), so that'd be an easy way to get some. Unless you're insanely far away from a dealer, that is.

I have one of these zig zag zug magazine ad booklet thingies. PM me if you want it. I'll ship it out first class for free.

 

I put a Zig ball on my antenna. It's awesome. I actually noticed its shadow in my periphrial vision right away.

 

Hope my MA saves me one of those ***** too.
Ever been to the website www.happyballs.com ?
They have some good ones there - I like the Stewart/Colbert '08 one...

 

Lewis has a happy ball for every season, holiday, and sports team I love.
