Free stuff !

I'm interested in finding out how much free stuff you guys managed to blag when collecting your car. I'm trying to set a record, but need some sort of benchmark.
Thanks..

Naive Buyer?

I got all of these things free:
  • Owners Handbook (not to be read - too much knowledge can be a bad thing)
  • Invoice (receipted)
  • Quarter tank of petroleum (unleaded) - according to the gauge that is
  • Errr....
  • ....that's it
May be I was diddled?

That's generosity...!
I'm on a ruck-sack and half a tank of gas at present, with more to follow....
Any more takers ?

Nah - although they are kept under lock and key and I've heard the dealer tell customers that they've lost the keys! Quite fancy one of the radio controlled MINIs but suspect I've got more chance of walking to the moon... on stilts!

Yeah, got all the handbook stuff, paperwork......
also dealer keyring with MINI logo on,
Full tank of gas,

Also another point, how many took delivery inside the dealership thus having to drive 'out' of the showroom as opposed to picking it up outside?

Flowers are a neat touch, I guess my other half will come with me to collect else I won't be able to get there.....So flowers are a possibilty...? The RC MINI is pretty cool, tho' I'm holding out for whatever the boot will swallow....

I've got a nice pen, and a goodie bag from launch day with a pin badge and a pen etc. from my dealer (plus brochures etc.)

Also got a few bits and bobs from MINI themselves.

NOT appearing on e-bay any time soon!

Oh I forgot to add I have a flashy MINI keyring, sadly minus any keys !
The launch stuff is always worth hanging onto, I have some MGRV8 stuff and it's worth quite a bit !
Paul you could auction them here instead !!
I'll be busy wading through pens, RC cars, fleeces, Tshirts, brollies, caps, ruck-sacks, and cuckoo clocks so may not have a chance to bid !

I received a lovely bouquet of flowers and the MINI keyring.

I have noticed some people saying they had a full tank of petrol, so did i, but dont you pay for that in with the 'ON THE ROAD COSTS'.


Hehehehe...is that why the fuel tanks are dodgy!!!

Regards,

Flashy MINI key-ring with a sexy black insert (not the Orange ones that seem to be doing the rounds too)

Half a tank of motion potion and a framed computer generated pencil sketch of my car (complete with the right registration number). Apparently everyone getting a Beemer at Scothall, Leeds gets the same.

I got...

* half a tank of petrol
* two MINI keyrings with the squidgy orange inserts (that keep dropping out, but I've managed to find one of them even after it spent 18hours on the ground in a car park)
* as a special touch an "etching" of my MINI - including having my own number plate details on it(looks like a pencil/charcoal sketch, but I think was computer generated.
* first rate service with a smile
