I picked up my Cooper S about a month ago. I came home today to a package from MINI containing a small thermos mug for the front can holders. I probably won't use it, no drinking or eating in my car, but it's a nice touch all the same. I don't know if this was posted before, I just waned to share.

All owners (US anyway) should have gotten them

MINI's way of making up for the biggest complaint on the JD Power survey (cup holders too small). I don't use mine either but I think it's really cool that they've at least tried to do something about the complaint.

I use mine all the time, and had to buy another one for my hubby.

AW I had to buy 2 cars to get 2 mugs!

I use both of mine all the time, 1 at work and 1 at home.
(intrestingly I don't actually use either of them in the MINI

)
It is cool to get useful & cool things in the mail from MINI.
They also sent me a SpyCar pen

(BTW if anybody doesn't want their mug, PM me I'll take it

)

I'm not a juror either <whew!!> and I got a mug in the mail yesterday as well. Sorry Bartmack, I'll use mine!! My MINI also came with the MINI Fini cupholder that can hold almost any cup.

love that CR/W. I have a MINI screensaver where a liitle MINI zips around a course and jumps things, and you can change the spec of the MINI. CR/W always shows up the best!
I think I've seen the MF cupholder in a pic- it almost makes it a 5 passenger car

So you found a loophole on the "one per customer" rule.

We use our mugs all the time, they fit the Beetle too.

Bought my MINI 3 months ago now and did not get ANYTHING from MINI USA ... not even a thanks or welcome letter!

Come summer next year new owners shouldn't need this mug as the rear cupholder is growing and changing in design.

I have that screensaver as well, it's a hoot!! Don't understand the "beef jerky" though. The funniest thing is watching our cat watching the MINI zip around, she's totally mesmerized by it!
That could be me in the S Plaza trail area - we live down by Salem Woods so we often do that route. S Plaza between S Independence and Princess Anne is a great place to wring out a MINI in a straight line, and the curve on Salem Road is a lot of fun. I'm trying to be more alert to fellow MINIs and get a flash or beep in.
