Today we have another item in our MINI Takes the States 2006 collectibles series. The two week-long MTTS 2006 rally was still going on four years ago today. This over-sized MINI Takes the States Road Atlas was given out during events of MTTS 2006. The Road Atlas is a re-branded MapQuest atlas. The stapled book has 144 pages full of places of interest and maps covering the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, and Mexico.
Previously we featured the John Cooper Works card game, a JCW accessories “brochure” in the form of a deck of playing cards. Today we have another playing card deck “brochure”: the Fussgängerzonen Stars MINI Collection cards from Germany. The “Super Quartett” card game is also the MINI Collection 2004 catalog. The 33 card deck (32 playing cards plus one instruction card) came in a clear plastic case. One the back of each card is the slogan “IT’S NOT A CAR.”. The front features a different item from the MINI Collection. The object of the game is to collect sets of four cards A1-A4 through H1-H4.
