Anyone got these Window Poetry cling-stickers? My 2007 MC got those...and well finally I thought to use them, and when I take them off I realize they aren't transparent, but rather white-background!

useless! :-(

the mouse pad, antenna ball, pen and pad were nice though.

Sounds familiar. After 17 years of driving Toyotas, I could have papered our entire house in service coupons. It was great getting the MINI Adventuring Kit yesterday! I needed a new mouse pad at work and I love the MINI pen and notepad!

I got my MINI Adventure Field Kit yesterday...

What do I do with the Super-secret Decoder? All the info i can find on the internet is that in 2006 it was in car & driver magazine??

Look in the Owners Lounge at Miniusa.com

I think the best thing I've gotten so far have been the Mini Cooper paper clips that are attached to the magazine...

Everybody that sees them just laughs.

Yeah, the paperclips are great! I like the notebook also. My son and I enjoyed using the glasses in the owner's lounge.

I bought my R56 MCS in January and still haven't gotten a MINI Adventure Field Kit. I even got a taunting email that mentions it, and how I should go to some website to use the glasses.

When we picked our car up, the car was ready to go and on the inside were Clubman Carpeted Mats, a really nice Black and White MINI Computer Bag, a Red Plush MINI, a Birth Certificate with Yoshi's Vital Stats and a Custom Cd with some pretty cool songs on it.

SKIP DOWN THE PAGE OR STOP READING NOW IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE "MINI FIELD ADVENTURE KIT" CONTAINS!

Since you brought it up, I'll disclose the nature of the "Top Secret" (it's okay, we're all MINI owners or soon-to-be) items. There are what appear to be 3D glasses, an etched plastic viewing window and card with specially-arranged punchouts which are meant to be used to find hidden messages in MINI ads appearing in car magazines. To date, I have only seen ads in MC2 Magazine and Road & Track, but now I'm really going to be on high alert to find some!

Here's a pic of what was in my "MINI Field Adventure Kit" (The "MINI PARKING ONLY" stencil arrived a few days later in a separate mailing. Funny, because I read somewhere that others received them in their kit!)

Hope I didn't spoil it for anyone!

(I don't think I did, since several others posted pix of the contents of their MINI swag in the preceding pages.)

I just got my kit today, have not seen the MINI parking only yet, the 8 ball is now a foam die, and also the book is now blue and is titled 101 fundamentals of good motoring.

They keep sending me a bill. It seems like every month they send one. I just throw them out.

Hmm I did get mine but did not include that awesome parking sign. That would go very nice on the wall of my cube. Also my ball is a big yellow smiley.

I bought mine in November of last year and still haven't received anything.

Then again, I can't complain too much with the price I paid and the throw in goodies (rubber mats, ipod adaptor cord, stubby antenna) I bargained for.
