MTTS Swag

I was told by several Mini Corporate People that the Grill badges and T-shirts Are already available on-line at the MiniUSA.com website.

I've tried and can't find where to purchase the swag.

Anyone know where I can look?

I'm begining to think I was told a Mini Fabrication of the truth.

I was told (yesterday morning in Flagstaff) that the grille badges would be available after the event was done.

Well that certainly conflicts with what I was told; But perhaps explains a few things.

I just wish the grille badges were magnetic instead of stick-on-with-double-stick-tape!

Not the same badge. I agree that they should be magnetic.

I know they aren't exactly the same - just offering up a magnetic option..

The one I'm talking about is the shield shaped MTTS logo badge. Most of the Vegas people who made it to Monterey and got them mounted them beside the rear plate.

I just got my magnetic grille badge yesterday from motoringfile. (I'll be displaying it proudly in Indy.) But that shield-shaped one is just AWESOME!

Yes. That's the one. The guys in the Wired bus told me the next location they would be available was Dallas. If anyone in Dallas can get me one, I'll pay you for it.

I saw the one pictured on the car of Gary from MC2 magazine's. It has a permanent back that attaches it to the grill. Some Sin City MINI Club members had the same badge, but with a sticky back, I believe, that they were attaching by the back license plate. I think Gary told me the grill version was over $60.

Wow! $60? I would prefer the sticky one I think. I heard the cool event t-shirts were $42. For a t-shirt.

Donna/Mike: Thanks, I already have one of those too. I actually prefer the ToddMods logo to the official one.

I ended up moving the metal shield to the boot, beside the license plate, and have the magnetic holder available again for magnetic badges.

I actually am in possession of about 20 of the posters. In Santa Barbara they had a box of them that they didn't want to drag to the next event, as they had 5,000 more posters waiting for them there. I was lucky enough to snag a bunch to distribute to the members of Redwood Empire Mini Enthusiasts who are not able to attend MTTS. If there are any left over, the club might raffle them off as a charity fundraiser or something.

Just got an update from a buddy on the Amarillo to Dallas run.

He gave me the following prices:

MTTS GRILL BADGE: $18
MTTS KEY RING (matches badge): $12
MTTS T-Shirt: $26 or $36 (he wasn't sure of the price)

BRING CASH. THEY HAVE NO WAY OF RUNNING CREDIT CARDS!!!

The shirts were $32...we were able to use a credit card but it's always good to bring cash just in case there is no place (electricity) for the MINIUSA folks to plug in their machines...

This is funny. In Monterey they turned away cash, CC only!

And I put the badge on Gary's car. It's one of the adhesive ones, along with the Mini accesorry grill mount kit. Sorry, I don't have the part number.

And if you want to mount the Grill Badge on the grill, the base was going for $25

That's true unless you want to mount it somewhere else or if you already have a badge holder .

As it turns out, I was in a rush to get to our 1st event that I didn't have time to get any cash. They apparently weren't going to sell them until the evening event, which I couldn't attend.

Great poster:


I so want one.
Any updates on whether more will be available during the event?
(Anyone have extras that they would be willing to part with? )
