You're going to have to explain the rubber Mini thing ha. Cool you got a goodie bag tho! I'm super happy with the BlackJack valve stems, fancy floor mats, shorty antenna, slick Mini brand slimline USB stick, and fancy folder for my manuals and insurance cards/registration that my car came with.

We got our goodie bag yesterday. In addition to the above, there was a paper clip shaped like a Mini.

Does everyone get a bag like that from Mini when you become a mini owner?

 

[jamesahy]

I just want the car itself already...

 

[jay524]

I got mine about two weeks ago.

I got mine a few days ago...they must have done a mass mailing. Nice surprise!

 

[Clanpipe]

Is just people in the USA only get them

 

[ssumner]

I got mine a few days ago, too.

 

[jabberwocky]

I wonder if I qualify for one. I'll have to keep my eyes open. That would be a nice surprise.

 

[derekh929]

[swearingino]

I'm in the US and didn't get one

 

[gloriakogg]

Oh.... I guess I won't get one then since I am living in Canada.

 

[Evlkarl]

LOL I did not even see the Paperclip was shaped like a MIni.

 

[Tiger]

No kidding, so I'll get one of those too? That will be a nice surprise if I do!

I just got my goodie bag a few days ago. What a nice surprise! The mailer-turned-carry-bag was genius. (I didn't cut mine, and it works fine, didn't want jagged looking edges, soothes my inner OCD child).

Apparently different mailings contain different goodies. In addition to the pen, notebook and USB thing (a wee 1GB), antenna ball and magazine, I also received two little booklets and a couple of marketing-ish cards (meh on the cards). One booklet is about Mini Finances, most of the information is only applicable to people who lease. The other is "101 fundamentals of good motoring" which is a mix of fun, marketing and actual good information.

The pen, bag & notebook are surprisingly good quality, considering how branded giveaways are usually cheaply made. It's a great thing for putting in the glove box to record motoring adventures.

Surprised to get something six months after buying my car. Wonderful marketing. Wonderful brand.
