aeiron,

I filled out my survey and was brutally honest. My MA was a pain in the butt so I conveyed that in the survey. Got a rude phone call from her about it too.
Just curious: was that the at-dealership survey you're talking about that they give when you pick up the car, or are you talking about the online one they email you about later on? I found your post interesting, as my MA was far from helpful, was a bit of a smartass, and sometimes gave me erroneous information.

Hey! I got my MINI Adventure Kit in the mail on 1/14/09! I took delivery of my MINI 11/15/08, so that's almost 2 mos exactly.

Woohoo! Somethin' free!

I never even got a survey. Although I've only had mine for 2 weeks.

I'm guessing MA stands for Mini Advisor. Mine was decent enough I suppose - not the greatest, but made an effort to be very honest with me which I appreciated. He did mention though that he'd really appreciate it if I made sure I put all 5's on a survey I was going to get!

You will.

"Motoring" Advisor.

Be honest. MINI, and/or your dealership will not improve (If improvements are warranted) if you grade your MA with "5s" just *****-Nilly. Call 'em as you see 'em.

I wonder if the TOP secret stuff everyone gets is just a letter that tells you to tell other mini owners to "Wait and see what it is".

Any takers? :P

Did anyone in Canada get this adventure kit? I'm just curious to know whether I might be receiving one down the road.

Just passed 7 months, and for the fourth time MINI says they mailed my welcome package to the wrong address!

Is there ANYTHING else besides the welcome package that I should have received by now?

I only had it for about a week, so I didn't receive anything yet. Hopefully I'll get something unlike SPF ZERO...

Well, unless your MA is rather short...

Hey, glad you finally got yours! As far as cheap bling goes, I've certainly seen worse. Though my Harley dealership sent me an engraved plaque with my name and VIN on it all mounted on a nice piece of cherry-colored wood. So I suppose that still wins out. But the MINI thing was kinda nice at least.

You must be scheduled on a later trip than ours 'cause didn't see you on the private jet. We had a gas. When's your trip anyway?

After 2 months I finally received the "Mini adventure Field Kit"

This is the free stuff I got from Mini and my dealer:

Full set of all weather mats
Cargo nets for the boot
Wheel locks
Mini Adventure Field Kit

Not bad
