By "books" do you mean the hard bound black diary?

I got NO break on the MSRP as I anticipated. I got free mats and a keychain. Something tells me the more free mats they give away, the less I believe they are actually free. lol.

Hubby won't let me use it on the garage door. Boo, hiss. We have a "German Parking Only" sign inside.

Hope to get a the kit in the mail later.

I didn't get the MINI Adventure Kit but I did receive free rubber floor mats and a box of truffles.

The truffles were delicious. The mats, not so much.

Truffles...mmmm.

Food must be an '08 thing. I'm hearing about cookies, candy, etc. We R56 pioneers didn't get that, although a lot of us got floor mats.

I want the truffles, too.

You should have insisted on it. There was a brief time when jacks weren't supplied, including when mine was delivered (week 3 build). My dealer was shocked, though, and pulled a jack and lug wrench from another car. After that period, they were delivered AFAIK. That may have changed more recently, though.

UPDATE
I finally received my MINI Adventure Kit in the mail today.
It probably arrived earlier but I was away for a week in Minnesota and had all of my mail put on hold.

Some goofy fun stuff and some useful items like the MINI pen,log book/journal,Smiley antenna ball and the personalized Roadside Assistant Card plus the static cling stickers.

Question:
Did you put the Smiley antenna ball face facing forward or facing back on your MINI?
I ask because,well I don't know..LOL

Thanks.

Within a few weeks I got a goody package with a MINI mouse pad (thumbnail photo montage), the pen with the little plastics bumbs as grips, a writing journal, a white ball with the Union Jack stamped on that I put on my antennae, a top secret envelope containing "super-secret decoder, magic window decryptor" to be used on ads or online, as well as the word game (stick words on window) and a pocket-sized MINI guide to motoring that is a hoot to read.

I have an R52 that I bought new in 2007 and they sent me a nice tin with the MINI logo on it that was full of yummy chocolate chip cookies..
And I got the better quality rubber mats also.
But the cookies might be from the local area MINI dealers and not MINIUSA.

No Adventure Kit yet (purchased MINI on 5/10/08), but I did get a 'Thank You' card with a $5 Starbucks card and a coffee cup sleeve (cardboard-type for burn protection) with a MINI logo on it.

I got my package a year ago. I have the Union Jack facing front-and-back. Tis a bit faded by now.

Delighted you got a replacement for the stolen one.
