Don't mean flowers wine I mean accessories or maybe viper stripes you know a worthwhile freebie:D:D;):cool:

Menzies sent me a gift about a month after I collected my car.
A pretty worthwhile gift too! :D

Not flowers or wine, but not Mini related in the slightest.

Another question is it the done thing to get a full tank of petrol.

Up here in Inverness most of the dealers give you a full tank never used to get that in the central belt a few years ago well I never anyway:question:

That's right. after spending £15K they give you enough juice to get to the nearest filling station :evil:

02 Cooper - got a bunch of flooers and a laugh in the face when asked for extras!:mad:
04 Cooper s - haggled for a set of rubber mats and got another bunch of flooers!

As for the fuel - if you look at OTR costs on your quote/invoice YOU pay for the £25 worth of fuel THEY put in the tank for you! :(

I echo BS's post. I can see SC's point though! After she's had to scrimp and save to get her totally bare spec MINI you can see why she's after freebies. :p:clown::D

No freebies with either new Mini I have bought but at least this time I got a tank of petrol.
