In Australia, any new Mini purchased (currently atleast) can be offered a free personalised badge with their car. It took a few months for the offer to arrive and you get to choose the background and up to 8 characters. Below are some pics of what I ordered. Only took a couple of weeks to turn up. This is just another tick on the mini wall in their customer service and appreciation book. So far, I am very impressed with the whole process by Mini Australia and even the dealership has been excellent to date.

Sweet. I think the dealer ordered from these guys at www.gobadges.com

They make some high quality gear. I have the same badge holder on my car.

Just ordered mine, can't wait for it to arrive! I also agree a great idea from Mini.

Do tell, what did you call your pride and joy?

Honestly, if you'd told me I'd be naming a car this time last year, I would have laughed. We had a few choices, but my eldest son suggested "Jarvis" and it kind of stuck. Reference from both Iron Man/ Avengers and Agent Carter.

 

[Cessa]

That is actually very good. I saw the word Jarvis in your signature and was trying to work out where i had heard it from, then remembered ironmans computer. Well done.
I know what you mean buy naming your car. I would never have thought about naming my car but here we are.

MOTD or "Mini's on the Dragon". The ultimate Mini event (IMHO).

Just stay away from Fiat on the Dragon. The Owners and there cars are like a bunch of angry "Killerbees" and hate them Mini,s with a passion that is what my Buddies tell me on the Fiat Forum Kinda weird that they can not get along with other Car Lovers.

 

[Cessa]

Sounds like a bit of health rivalry. In Australia, its Ford or Holden, Toyota landcruiser or Nissan Patrol.

So its Fiat or Mini, being completely unbiased, i dont see any competition here, Fiat is just jealous from a superior competitor. See if this comment sparks any fires on this forum.

Just had a look on the link. Never been to the states but South Carolina is definately on my bucket list. To drive my Mini around there would just be amazing. One day

Lucky you! Shame you couldn't get delivery for the Easter long weekend.

I haven't heard anything from my dealership, but I did receive my key fob holders just now, so that's nice.

 

[mjb]

Dealer just got back to me, 3-4 weeks til I take delivery in Sydney!

Finally ordered my name badge today.

I went with the JCW design and called him "Tyrion" - clever little car. I was going to call him/her jalapeño but it just wasn't sticking. I guess it's a "he" now.

 

[Cessa]

Very good twads, tyrion would raise a few questions on what it means.

Sounds like its from the tv series Game of Thrones just missing the Lannister name.

 

[twadds]

Indeed Cessa. He's a very clever little package.

The books are even better.
