I've got the RAF Rondel, British Flag, Actual Size, R53 and 6 Speed Manual ... if you need something to decorate for a show. Borrow (and return or replace) as you need ... while we all wait for the club one.

Seriously.

Hey is it too late to pre-order a badge? If so is there going to be another order going out any time in the future. Sorry for being so late, but since I moved down to SC it's been hard to get on here to see what's been going on with the club.

UPDATE - Thanks for your patience to all that have ordered. Unfortunately this is turning into a saga resembling our Secretary Edge's DPSM upgrade. We sent payment to Jeffrey of MotorSwag.com on 21 September 2007. We have not heard from him on status of completion.

Stacy our VP had heard that he was in Calif fighting forest fires causing our delay in the badges. We've ordered a quantity of 100. I've left him a message to contact me this evening - allow me a few days to hear back from him.

If I don't hear from him, I will re-order badges with a more reliable badge vendor and we'll hopefully have a surplus of badges at some point.

Again, thanks for your patience, I'll keep you posted on here.

BADGE ?! I don't need no STINKIN' badge !!

Okay, seriously... thanks for the update, Kurt. We'll continue to be patient. After all, we're not waiting for a vital organ or anything.

And yeah, Jeff does nice work but he lives on a planet without calendars or clocks.

In fact, you might say he lives in another dimension. A fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the Twilight Zone.

yoiks...Motorswag? we'll be lucky if we ever see the badges. Jeff seems to have dropped the ball on not just DCMM badges, according to this thread..
https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...d.php?t=114225

oh well...I guess we'll just have to be patient...

At least it's not a DCMM Badge with a red slash through it. :-)

We notified Todd (ToddsMods) and Jeffry (Motorswag) and Jeffry gave us a better deal for the same quality item. He sent us a sample and we already had badges from Todd. If I knew that this would have happened, than I would have gone with Todd. It is no longer in our hands, so just be patient.

I have all the patience in the world. I am able to keep in perspective that it is just a silly little badge...I was just curious about the decision making process...thanks for the explaination.

I too ordered from Jeff and it took several months to get two badges I sent many emails and got automated messages and then several times Jeff replied that the items had been sent when they had not

Motorswag has some cool stuff, but this MINI owner will not be ordering anything from Jeff anytime soon.........

I realize that there were many things going on out there (Dog, fires,etc) If he had been honest and said "Hey I'm really overloaded and it might be a couple of months" rather than feeding me BS, I might have been a little more understanding

Given the seemingly hundreds of complaints about Motor Swag on this board alone, I can't imagine how Jeff stays in business.

It's one of the many great mysteries of the world... right up there with:

1. Where's Jimmy Hoffa ?
2. What's in the middle of Twinkies ?
3. What is that thing on Donald Trump's head ?
4. Why would anyone want a bald cat ?
5. Where is Tyler Wallace ?

I've always wanted to know if Angelina Jolie's lips are real...

Don't forget the ultimate mystery......

How many licks does it take to get to the Tootsie-Roll center of a Tootsie-Pop?

Note*- Add to list of great mysteries, What hallucinogens does it take to convince an otherwise rational MINI owner in NoVA that they might have personal knowledge of Ms. Jolie's lips??

Must be some great S&%t!!!!!!
