I've seen the add ons you can buy from the US and UK, but does anyone in Australia (esp. Melb.) sell these?

I'm thinking about that little square insert that fits in front of the gear stick, where one might toss a phone and a pen....

any advice?

regards Daisy

FLiPSiDE · Mar 27th, 2003, 02:34 PM

welcome 2 mini2

there arent any places im aware of, just not a big enuff market here i assume.. but ordering off the net's quick and easy.. dont be afraid

(tho the shipping costs tend to suck at times

)

ratboy · Mar 27th, 2003, 05:06 PM

Welcome aboard you best bet is to buy it on the net

eltel · Mar 27th, 2003, 05:38 PM

Welcome to the Aussie list, daisy. You must join us on a drive. There is one coming up on May 17/18, as swamos is going to be in town.

Did you really get your chilli red cooper in 2001?

I'd be keen to buy in with you if we can save on shipping costs. Any others interested?

daisy, I've emailed TVA and received a nice email back from them.

If I put in an order for 5 Hot Pockets at US$24.95 each then he'll charge us US$15 for shipping. Understandably to obtain any sort of volume discount we'd have to order > 50 items.

That makes it 24.95 x 5 = 124.75 + 15 = 139.75 / 5 = 27.95 each. Convert that to AUD it becomes $47.37, say $50.

I'm happy to put an order in for 5 for the Victorian crew that might want one, so far that's myself and Spazz, and I'm sure the other 3 will go like hotcakes (money first, please).

Can someone in NSW put together an order for 5. That's at least Boo and yourself, and the other 3 will go like hotcakes.

Likewise QLD, SA, WA, Tas, ACT

I will definitely take one! (I'm in Melb, not NSW)

Let me know how to get $$ to you.

I'm sure there are others...

thanks for being so proactive!

Sorry about that NSW tag. You are so nice to deal with, I should have realised that you are a Victorian.

I'll PM you my address and details. Then, if you send me a cheque for $50 I'll put you on the list. As soon as I've got 5 on the list I'll send the guys in the States my credit card details and then we sit back and wait. I won't bank the cheques until I've got all cheques from all orderers.

Regards, ElTel - are you coming for a drive on 18th May? Check the Aussie thread.

Now you've changed your delivery date to 2005.

I'm confused.

Ok, enough of this Mexican back slapping

I'm in, will send off a cheque tomorrow..i think i have your address around here somewhere

AussieMini · Mar 31st, 2003, 02:38 PM

If you guys get stuck with one or two I will definately buy them and pay for the postage to Brisbane.

If that happens give me a call on 0416 175 062.

AJ, you're almost a Victorian by association.

If you keep hanging around good examples like Melody, it's bound to rub off.

Re the cheque, glad to help you out, wish there were many more opportunities to repay your kindness and generousity.

Regards, ElTel

Boo · Mar 31st, 2003, 06:25 PM

I think you already are in a couple of months

daisy · Apr 1st, 2003, 11:17 AM

I'm confused too.
I thought I'd corrected it to 2003, but gremlins got me...

daisy

alistaircooke · Apr 2nd, 2003, 10:37 AM

and you can put me down for a NSW one please.

who's collecting the wonga?

disdis · Apr 2nd, 2003, 07:46 PM

etel:

hi there. i noticed u guys r getting a bulk buy of that 'hot pocket' thing.

hv u seen the one offered by MossMini.com. its much better quality but the incl. shipping its USD 50!

here's a link:
http://www.mossmini.com/cgi-bin/db2w...t?PlateID=6638

u must agree that its much better quality than the hot pocket. and if we get a bulk buy we might cut the shipping?? rite?

If a lot of ppl is interested, i dont mind emailing them (again) to c if i can get a better deal for us.

disdis · Apr 2nd, 2003, 07:47 PM

sorry, forgot the pic!

laz · Apr 2nd, 2003, 08:54 PM

looks better quality ... but the fit doesnt look so good

Boo · Apr 2nd, 2003, 09:14 PM

Sorry all, I'm actually going to cancel my order as i am now getting the Mini Oil Temp and battery guages put in that spot..
Want to keep an eye on the oil temp whilst tracking the car

eltel · Apr 3rd, 2003, 03:12 AM

Thanks disdis, I knew there was a harder version out there. I'll contact them about the shipping costs for 5 and we'll take it from there.

The article costs the same as the Hot Pocket.
