Name the dealership Smiffy! My dealer always had a smile!

Sytners in Leicester were brilliant, even though the freebies were few (what I did get was good quality) I didn't care because the service was second to none, nothing was too much trouble.

Bet you feel better now you've got that off you chest!

Nice car by the way. Had a look at the pics and I certainly can't fault the colour, all the best MINI's are Silver. Spoiler looks good, I didn't go for that option but I did add a chrome exhaust (£22) which looks the business.

I'm going to do some pics of Foggy at work (right environment and all that) if I can get the keys off Julie (my better half). I use the company car for commuting (Honda Civic). I'll post them in a couple of weeks.

Smiffy,
You woz dun.
On top of all the stuff I garnered, I was sent a Scothall card allowing discounts in and around Cambridge and 10% of accessories.
As the guy I bought mine from has swapped places with a BMW guy, I am even more pleased ! Especially as this guy is a complete dude ! A really pleasant chap whom I'd buy a MINI traveller from...

Nevermind Smiffy,
Better luck next time.....
I can get used to this buying new lark !
May treat meself to some bits and bobs, less 10% of course !

Got two key rings , two baseball caps and a "Moods Of Motoring" book (Very Arty)..

[smartbomb]

Marts,
Not too far from me, I'm in Stansted.....

What spec etc. have you chosen ?

2 baseball caps and 2 keyrings and a book, hmm not too bad I guess....where did you buy it from ?

[Marts]

Smartbomb,

picked her up from Colchester this morning. Done some serious driving today.

I went for a quite basic car for my first mini.
Silver, CD Boost , Salt (although I didn't get the brilliant silver interior) , 15" 8 spoke.

The dealer was very appologetic about the silver interior, and I have to say I don't mind the darker colour dash and I "think" I prefer it.

If you're in Stansted , you'll probably see me running off to the M11 to work in London. If you see me you'll recognose it by the registration...

Cheers Marts.

[smartbomb]

Nice one Marts,
Good choice. I don't often use the M11, but go to Braintree now and again via Rayne, sorry but my MINI will tackle the bumps much better than my old Cooper !

Mine is Indi blue with white roof and silver 17s..
Wave won'tcha !?

[Marts]

Smartbomb ,

very nice car, I not sure but I may have actually seen you aready.
Since I ordered in March , I have become far more aware of the minis on the road.

When they finally sort out the Braintree - Stansted road I may actually start to enjoy that road !

See you on the road!

Marts

[smartbomb]

Sure thing Marts,
That road is a major pain in the rear end.
Still will be cool when it's done, although the homeless wildlife may not agree....
Will keep 'em peeled for you...

[sprog69]

well, i got a key ring a poster and 4 mouse mats!! how about that!!

[smartbomb]

4 mouse mats !!!
That's generous, but does your dealer assume you have 4 PCs !!??
Well the keyring is a good one, and so is the poster providing it's of Suzi Perry !

[mia]

just the mints and 2 "dealer" key chains
forgot--full tank of petrol

[Quadra]

I picked my Mini yesterday, May 22 and received the following freebies:
a) 2 Mini mints;
b) 1 Mini key ring;
c) 1 Mini T-shirt;
d) 1 CD (I'll pick this up next week);
e) full tank of gas (petrol);
f) Mini rubber floor mats, grey, front & back, (after some intense re-negotiations, some pleading, & persistence on my part)
g) the usual car detailing;
h) owner's manual, etc....
i) and lastly, my lease obligation agreement (I thought the car was free too, I guess I'm mistaken...)

[PsychoMini]

1 Tshirt
1 Mini mints
1 keyring w/dealer logo (Mini of Towson) & roadside # on back
1 can of soda
Tons of pleasure in my car!

[Sir Mini]

Bought a MINI hat tonight after a test drive and got a

"FREE"

plastic MINI bag to carry it home in....

[smartbomb]

It appears the US dealers are as generous as the UK ones !
Still I have my bottle of bubbly to crack open on my b'day !

[wynnonna]

From a dealer where I ordered my car, (only to cancel when I found it at MSRP a a different dealer), I got
- 1 Speedo tshirt
- 2 MINI Hats
- 1 MINI Keychain (the one w/ the logo on a disk on the cable)

I bought 2 pins there as well.

From my dealer (where I actually bought my MINI) I got
- 1 MINI Smints
- 2 Dealer keychains too big to fit through the MINI key - also they read "South Motors BMW" nothing whatsoever about the MINI
And things I think I wasn't supposed to get:
- 1 Extra "hubcap" (center of the 5 spoke 16" wheel)
- 1 Extra cover for battery connector
- 1 Extra clip that holds the sun visor (if you can call it that considering I shade more sun w/ my hand than that visor!)
