That seems to be a bit longer then usual so I would give MINI USA a call and tell them you still haven't received your Mini Adventure Field Kit.

Got my "adventure field kit" today. Almost 2 months since purchase. OK stuff. Put the yellow smiley face ball on the Alta antenna.

I didnt get an adventure kit. I picked up my car on July 3rd, 2008. I had bought one not off the lot, but didnt order it. It was coming in off a ship the week after I ordered it (someone else had designed it).

Anyways, this past week, I did get a pretty cool looking stationary thing. It is a wooden base with a yellow post it note pad on it, and a pen. The base of the whole thing looks like a car and where your pen goes into the base it looks like the gear shifter..it has the gears marked on it. The pen is in the shape of a stick.

Haha and I dont even know how to drive a stick shift, but it looks pretty cool. I think it was from my dealer Ias opposed to being from MINI headquarters or something) but Im not sure.

-that would be my photo + gift

I just received a Mini Parking Only stencil for spray painting your own parking space. It's pretty cool, I think I am going to use it to paint the marking on my garage floor (where I park my Mini). This gift came a total of 2 months after taking possession of my Mini and about 1 1/2 months after the first gift!

I brought Tweek home on June 10th, and I still haven't received anything from mini.

Guess it's time to call miniusa....

I got the stencil last week, though it seemed particularly cruel because at the time my MA didn't know "exactly where" my car was (VDC or on a truck to the dealer), and the OL had updated to a delivery date of 9/6.

Might use it in my garage, which won't house my MINI, unfortunately, but it would be silly to use it on my driveway.

I remember a year ago when I got mine i got a $100 gift certificate from Downtown Mini which I inmediately used to get a license plate frame and a hat, a set of MINI playing cards, a "Hammer & Coop" air freshener, an "emergency kit" with a MINI disposable camera, flash light, pen and pad in like a little pouch, three packets of "MINI" mints and two very nice key chains. Oh! I almost forgot... I bought my car used... Downtown Orlando Mini rocks!!!

I was completly surprised by the Adventure Kit, and the parking stencil. Got them about 2 weeks apart, about 3 months after I got the car. Might even use the stencil on my carport after my HOA finishes the driveway resurfacing!

I took delivery first week of August... so no Adventure Kit or stencil yet... but from what I can tell, it may take a while.

I did get floor mats when I picked up (the nice cosmopolitan carpet ones!) I'm guessing this was because my pickup was delayed by the first roof graphic they got in being damaged... so they had to wait on another. Also got a "spa kit" of trial size car care products (optimum - which the bmw dealership uses on their cars.)
One of the other MA's also gave my parents - who gave me the ride to pickup my car - a whole stack of passes to the Orpheum film series - which Roadshow sponsors. Pretty cool - but none of us can use them because of work

I also got a MINI Cap, MINI travel mug, & MINI rubber floor mats --- but these weren't gifts from dealer... they were from my mom , who has become a real fan of my car. (I wanted the rubber floor mats for everyday use - keeping the dealer-free carpet ones nice for shows.)

I highly reccommend Roadshow BMW in Memphis... They were great with me and even put up with, and encouraged, my obsessing during the wait til delivery (may help that my MA is also an obsessed MINI enthusiast!)

Took delivery on July 3, haven't received anything except a two question email survey (where I asked to have someone from MINI contact me about my experience, and never heard back from them).

On the other hand, the dealer's Honda and BMW sales people keep emailing me...

Not a fracking thing. Picked up on May 1st. I was kinda surprised too. I wasn't expecting anything, and then I read this thread so I've been looking out for something. And nothing. How disappointing.
