MTTS’08 gift-swag

Posted on by Ian C.

MINI friend “GP George” went to three of the four MTTS’08 events, Miami, Boston and Los Angeles. When I met him at Boston he gave me a couple of things picked up from Miami – the colored wrist band was different to that at Boston …
Then when George went to the Los Angeles event (and met up with MINI friend Robert), he was kind enough to pick me up some more swag – another color of wrist band, a car cleaning cloth (he’s trying to tell me something!), a really nice sew-on MTTS’08 patch, and a rather strange “sippy cup”:

Thanks, George 🙂

Fake Invaders

Another from my collection, a CDROM this time, from England:

Remember Counterfeit MINIs? In England MINI did a similar campaign, but instead of disguising cars to look like MINIs, they went for trucks, and even sheds!

The CDROM contains a version of Space Invaders, vaguely themed on the UK counterfeits … I’ll assume it’s the same as the “giant size” game that was playable at the UK motor show in 2006:

Paul Mullett put up a video on MINI2, from his visit to the 2006 UK motorshow, that shows the game being played.
