    Not an ad, but a MINI was used for a photo in an article in Maxim (2002)

    Thanks for sharing these. Some I had seen but many I had not. You know, you don't hear the excitement from new MINI owners these days over the things MINI would send on the purchase of a new car. Do they still send stuff and if so, what?

    I got more with my second gen r55 then I did with my old '02 r50 surprisingly.

    I think owners are now getting a box full of stuff. Mouse pad, MINI pen + journal, stickers, stencil, motoring rule book, antenna topper, etc. That's what I got with an 08 at least.

    Funny, you don't hear about like you used to. People often posted their kit had arrived and they were just so giddy...

    Maybe they are getting too much stuff. Kinda like when kids get too much stuff at Christmas---too overwhelming, lol.

    There's a whole load of threads about what comes in the boxes and comparing the antenna toppers over on the other forum....I just think those of us who have been around for so many years begin to tune it out a bit.

    Crazy collection, GBMINI!

    Perhaps you post just a few of your favorite print ads?

    Don't really do print ads, much ... but there were a few good ones in Dwell magazine a while back ...

    And, of course, the famous "secret" campaign was quite entertaining ...

    Same thing I got with my 2009, but I never reveived the "deaded survey" after purchase. My friend has a 2002 and is still getting stuff in the mail. Odd because we bought from the same dealer.

    Not sure where I got these. I think they were desktops.
