MINI USA’s Motorby Key-fobs Arrive

DRC Apr 4th, 2007 Link

I want one! Bring it to DC, MINI!

Edge Apr 4th, 2007 Link

I second that – the DC region has a very significant MINI population… bring it here! :D

Very cool and very much would like one of those Motorby keyfobs.

MultiplePersonalities Apr 4th, 2007 Link

Ha! Finally we get to see the keyfobs. Hopefully mine will be waiting for me when I get home tonight.

Looks kinda big for the keychain, but I guess it would make more sense so keep this in the car and not on your keyring.

The packaging is very cool, I hope it expands to central OH.

So jealous. The MINI community in my area is very small compared to others, but I travel a lot. I’d love to see a personal message appear as I am driving by in my rental, it would make driving around in a car that is not my MINI more bearable.

Jacob Apr 4th, 2007 Link

How do I get one?

Matt Apr 4th, 2007 Link

I better have one when I get home today. I’ve been waiting for ages to try the one in NYC out.

Not to be anal…. but it really should say “This is AN Historic Moment”.

I mean, come on.

Dave Z Apr 4th, 2007 Link

Only if you were to pronounce it “istoric”.

ukplyot Apr 4th, 2007 Link

I think us Brits say “AN historic” and Americans say ‘A Historic” because, as Dave says, we don’t make much of a fuss about that H. Fowler says that “A” is the way to go and I seldom disagree with him.

Anyway, I think the key fob is cool and I wish I could have one. However, since I live in the desert where electricity is still fairly exciting I am unlikely ever to see one of these billboards.

Here’s more on this very important topic: Do we say “an historic” or “a historic”?

Jacob if you live in or in close proximity to Chicago, new York City, San Francisco or Miami, MINIUSA should have contacted you via email to participate in the program.

I am hoping to see one of these as well. I would like to feel that I am in control of my world some how!

Seth L Apr 4th, 2007 Link

Come on Portland!

Or at least Seattle.

MultiplePersonalities Apr 4th, 2007 Link

Someone commented at the time of MTTS that MINIUSA doesn’t seem to like or care about the Pacific Northwest?

When I went to Seattle 2 years ago, I saw a fair number of MINIs all over the place. Hmmmmmm

blake Apr 4th, 2007 Link

I want one too.

Blainelv Apr 4th, 2007 Link

Ok, Vegas needs a few of those signs. We could have done a mass test if MINIUSA but one on the strip during the AMVIV cruise. Although the sign may have went into melt down then. Hahaha

Tim Apr 4th, 2007 Link

I don’t want one. I don’t want to be targeted with advertising. I’ve bought the car, I don’t need to be told how “cool” I am for doing so.

I prefer ads that focus more on the performance of the car, but that’s just me.

Jon Apr 4th, 2007 Link

Wonder how it will deal with the first club run past one of the signs with multiple people with the key-fobs :)

Brendon Apr 4th, 2007 Link

Ughh im in the philly area and want one…Real Bad

Zeke Apr 4th, 2007 Link

I need to be told how cool I am….

Siddhartha Apr 4th, 2007 Link

Can’t wait for the first msg. What will it be? This is going to be so fun!

Jacob Apr 4th, 2007 Link

I pass the billboard on the 826 (Palmetto) several times a week and would love to have “the fob” because the car on the billboard looks just like mine. Plus I want a reason to drive my friends around and go… “Watch This!”

JustJAY Apr 4th, 2007 Link

I am actually surprised that it never came to the DC, MD, VA area. I can’t wait till it gets there.

M. Dillon Apr 5th, 2007 Link

So,Gabe…do you have any insider information in regards to having the,”MINI Billboard”,in;or around the Atlanta,GA. area so that maybe we can get on board for this fob project?

Matt Apr 5th, 2007 Link

Nothing when I got home late yesterday. Where’s my fob dammit

SCMCS Apr 5th, 2007 Link

I’ve signed up for this, can’t wait to get my package.

Jono Apr 5th, 2007 Link

no kidding!! I want mine already! I was so excited that I’d be the first to have a special birthday message, if they had released them when they first thought they were going to be released…. can’t wait! I’m going to go stand by the billboard and take a picture!!

Let the good times roll!

Siddhartha Apr 12th, 2007 Link

Boo! Mine didn’t play on opening and now I’m stuck with a computer chip and batteries that I can’t even throw in the trash but must recycle with my old computer stuff. 50% off. I hope the billboard works.
