We're getting MINI lounge chairs. It varies from dealership to dealership. I would prefer a cruise....good idea!!!

well they do send out a card for you to rate the job your MA did, at least mini of nashville does, so if yours does sounds like a good time to let them know how he did.

Ironically he called a little while ago to keep me "updated". We're on schedule for Sat. but I'm still going to voice my displeasure at his rude emails at the proper time. He's a young guy..full of himself.

Thats the plan--subject to change based upon school demands! I'm just ready to have a new car to drive. I can't wait to see what "freebies" i get offered--if any!

If none are offered hint broadly or just ask for something....a credit at the store for MINI stuff or a license rim or whatever. Tell them other dealerships give stuff. As I mentioned....ours gives MINI lounge chairs. I came right out and asked what the dealership gives new owners for their business.

MOTD...aka....MINIs on the Dragon. Every year...first week end of May but 2008 is 30 April - May 4th. It is at Deal's Gap, NC.......318 curves in 11 miles. MOTD 2007 had over 500 MINIs and over 800 people. It is great fun and lots of MINI camaraderie!! You have to experience it!!!!
