Complete the Dragon experience by displaying this magnetic rallye placard on you car. Perfect for the caravans to the Dragon and while you are "motoring thru them hills".

Mounted to heavy gauge magnetic material.

I am taking orders now and all placards will be sent via USPS the second week of April. Order cut off is March 27th.

Pricing is as follows: 1 Placard = $8.00 or 2 Placards for $15.00.
If you order 2 I will include a third brake light mask featuring the same dragon as see on the placard. (sorry, these won't work on the cabrio)
Third brake light masks sold separately = $5.00.
Add $2.00 to all orders to cover shipping and handling.
Missouri residence with be charged sales tax.

Payment made by PAYPAL, or check.

To order e-mail (NO PMs) to: info@americanminimates.com

Neat idea, but how about one without the dates on 'em, so we can use 'em next year, too? Or is that part of your planned obsolescence scheme? ;-)

I also vote for no dates.

Any thoughts on static cling vinyl. I hate magnets, they tend to scratch the paint. :(

Yes I know, but these dragon placards would be cool as clings. My meatballs are vinyl clings.

I have a wee bit of insider knowledge about the clings. Let's just say they are similar in style.

I ordered mine

Hey, these placards look good to me, I have already placed my order and I am not sure I can make it this year. At least I will have a piece of Dragon memoriblia from 2006.
You boys that are worried about the date, if I do make it there this year, I better not see you wearing last year's shirt, they have 2005 on them.
Motoring accross the tower bridge,

Actually, having the dates make it a limited-edition item. I like having the dates included. Next year, a new design can be created for MOTD-2007! Very nice job on this placard.

Only Red

The placard is only available in RED. I tried several different colors and the traditional red and white placard looked the best on the majority of MINI colors. It comes off very smart on Peper White.
Motoring down life's ever changing road, looking forward to seeing old friends on the dragon

Brake Light Mask Picture

Could you post a bigger picture, now I get the general idea, but it is hard to make out the details.
Glad I ordered mine, it does look like a neat idea. It should get the attention of the Midnight On The Dragon Set.
Motoring on,
Lady Di
