One cool hobby that I picked up since becoming a MINI'er is that I have started collecting literature, brochures, promotional items and all the other freebees that MINI gives away. :)

Does anyone else collect this stuff?

Does any non-us folks want to trade MINI freebees?:red: :red:

I collect everything with the word 'MINI' on it... I just can't help it! :D

I've got lots of that stuff safely tucked away, including my odometer tshirt.

The odometer t-shirt was given out by US dealers to the first three-hundred cars sold by each dealer. The odometer has the number your car was like mine has 250 since I have the 250th MINI sold by my dealer.

I just bought the Dukes of Hazzard, Starsky and Hutch, Evil Knieval, and Partridge Family MINI postcards off of E-Bay.

MM7, The local dealer in Greenville SC had a couple of the Ody t-shirts in stock

I've kept what I've got - not gone looking for stuff - but i have kept every 2002 car magazine I could find which reviewed the MCS.

I've got a load of nice goodies.

:D

MINI barf bag

A booklet of MINI inspired cartoons by noted cartoonists
MINI Smints

It would have been a lower number, but I spec'ed my MINI instead of buying off the rack. :)

I was at the Press launch of the 's' and they were left in the hotel rooms of all the press,
I lived local so did not have one until Paul pointed it out and now I have one too:)


Big thanks to Paul and his brass neck:D

i have a designated box for my MINI keepsakes. i keep everything MINI that i can get my hands on. ;)

I have got various press packs with CDs and a DVD with road tests etc. Also got some official MINI magazines with CDs, that have games, screensavers, pictures and a "make you own MINI up". Also got a MINI cup and saucer and glass, from the dealer.

Much of this has found its way onto eBay as well. We have a dedicated box for each car that collects neat stuff. The MINI has generated more than its share! It spills into the house onto tables, bookshelves, and walls (and that is OK with the boss).
