GP delivery Goodie Pack

Posted on August 2, 2006February 1, 2017 by Ian C.

Received in the mail today – a personally addressed note, congratulating me on my GP purchase and telling me about the other exciting contents of the pack …

The only thing I still need is the Certificate Of Origin which, rumour has it, might show up at MINI of Peabody tomorrow!

Not true – but interesting

Today the MINI USA owners lounge displays “AT YOUR MINI DEALER”:

Of course this isn’t true – GPMINI won’t be at MINI of Peabody till I take it there in September – but I guess Monterey GP handling is stretching the existing status displays of MINI USA!

We’ve heard that the GPs are being trucked to the West Coast VDC – it’ll be interesting to see if the online status goes “backwards” to “AT DISTRIBUTION CENTER” when the GPs get there! 😉

Also curious but wrong, is the prediction that GPMINI will arrive at my dealership two days ago!

MINI mail

Another gimmicky but entertaining activity from MINI 😉
Go here (September 2010, try here instead) and follow the directions to send a short message to someone. You can customize the “message MINI” as well, then you can preview the message complete with squealing tires:

You can then email the message to someone; they receive a “You’ve got MINI mail” message with a link to click, like this one which takes them to a website of squealing MINI tires and burning rubber 😉

(both you and they need to shut down pop-up blockers for this – it’s pop-up manic!)
