Chad May 25th, 2006 Link

Rock on guys!! Yet one more thing for me to start collecting.

Todd, I’m looking forward to getting the club badges I set-up with you.

Todd May 25th, 2006 Link

Chad - you should see them in the next few days!

Now we need a “30% less go” for the Cooper crowd. :D

Perhaps “No whining”?

JodyP May 25th, 2006 Link

How about “Supercharger Whining ONLY” or “15% MORE WHINE” or “If you can read this your SUV has a flat tire” or anything else I can think of as I sit here in training class being bored.

“If you can read this, your SUV has a flat tire”…that’s classic!

dickdavid May 25th, 2006 Link

Lookin’ good! Time to put in another order.

How about a Sheer Fun Warning or something along those lines. If you make one I want one. I already have 3. Prompt Delivery…would do business with this ebayer again. er I mean…

How about some “Stock Pulley” badges? ;)

Or, how about some SCCA SOLO2 racing classes

Stock classes
B-Stock or BS (JCW)
H-Stock or HS (Cooper)
G-Stock or GS (Cooper S)

slightly-modified classes
STS (Cooper)
STX (Cooper S/JCW)
SM (anything with a reduciton pulley)

more-modified classes
ASP (JCW)
FSP (Cooper)
DSP (Cooper S)

How about an ASC OFF?

Looking good guys!

I second Daniel’s Solo 2 classes idea, and I’d also love to see one that just has a traffic cone (as used in autocross).

A couple of years ago I made a few ray-trace renderings of cones–click on my nickname above to see some Cafepress products that use it. I can provide high-resolution versions of the cone at no cost for use in making a badge, if you would want to use it.

Houston, we have a quality control issue!

Shouldn’t SLOW TRAFFIC be backwards as well?
CIFFART WOLS

No - wanted to have something for pedestrians to read.

RudyT May 25th, 2006 Link

Heres a great idea for a badge…

R U COMPENSATING?

One of my favorite slogans :-)

petsounds May 25th, 2006 Link

Gabe, I love the “DSC Off” badge. May have to get one! I’m a little late to the party on these…they just stick to the front grill with magnets? Probably something to take off before the car wash?

Actually, I wish there were even more switches I had to toggle when starting the car, so I could feel more like I was starting up a P-38 or something.

We are “GO” for Fun.

LOL! Note to self: Stay off the sidewalks when in Chicago. Beware of black MINI. ;-P

Great work Todd & Gabe. Really, really like the DSC Off one. Got to figure out which six to start with!

Surprised you didn’t do a “14.3%” one, or “Webb Installed Go,” or a leather JCW badge, with red stitching, of course costing $10.70 more! But seriously, I would really like one with a curvy road-sign theme; and text something like “Curve Seeker.” Also, how about one in the BMW Motorsports colors for us F1 fans? I’ll third a cone one for autocrossers.

snid,
What R U COMPENSATING for? Coopers are not like “the base model” or something. And “Cooper crowd,” what bloody non-sense I do say, we are all part of the same MINI family. Some of us just don’t find our fun seeing how fast we can go in a straight line, but prefer lots of curves, a slimmer partner, strong natural breathing, and maybe not reaching the end so quickly every time!

You mean like this?

I had Todd make some of these up for me a few months ago. Todd, you’ve got my permission to turn these into badges. ;-)

Just wait for the next installment :)

snid,

Just to be clear, I’m one of the Cooper owners who has been known to keep up very well with MCSs autocrossing and on the track. I guess my sense of humor didn’t make it through.

One of my vaorite moments was getting a point by from someone in a 350Z with a license plate something like “blew by you” (obviously some abbreviated version of that).

When I keep up with / pass / impress someone in my Cooper, I want them to know that the little car that they are looking at is the “slow” one. Hence, “30% less go”.

MJO MINI May 26th, 2006 Link

I like Rollin’s curve badge idea. I would like one that reads “Tame The Twisties” or “Twisty Tamer”

I also like Petsounds’ “We are GO for FUN”. That would be a sweet one too!

Philip May 26th, 2006 Link

Where is the Nordschleife badge ;-)

… and how about: “corners tested, autobahn approved” (or similar)

popstar May 26th, 2006 Link

16% pulley? Huh.

Gabe May 26th, 2006 Link

Where is the Nordschleife badge ;-)

As soon as I find vector art for the Nordschleife I’ll have it!

Rollin May 26th, 2006 Link

Sorry, missed the humor - I’ll take Tabasco with that crow, and a pint Guinness, please. . . .

Giulius May 27th, 2006 Link

one idea on top of the national flags you did some time ago: a European Union flag.
keep up the good work
