I've submitted and was approved by Go Badges to list the CROC Grill Badge. Just released this morning for sale on the Gobadges.com website.

http://www.gobadges.com/3CD-CLUBS-CR...clubs-croc.htm

Your 10% discount code is CROC. Yes indeed, we get a small discount too! Pass the word along!

James
Oh, and that 10% is for the entire order. Saved me $20.00 (you can figure out my order lol)

Jezebel... love it! Any other funny, kid-friendly female-leaning names?

Just bought my first Mini. A Chili Red/White Top coupe. 2009 with 24k miles. So much fun you'd think it would be illegal.

My girl is named Mary Jane for my fascination with Spider-Man. Not the smoking reason.

haha, Pakmule.....you never shoulda let her have the keys!

I love seeing all the new owners and pics of their MINI's. It's been almost a year and I still get a kick out of driving mine and sometimes I'm surprised to see I actually have my MINI in the garage after wanting one for so long.

Attaching a pic with my new CROC badge. Got the red rim blades at the same time but, haven't had time to put them on.

They are the way less expensive way of getting some red trim on my black wheels. I've been eyeballing the wheels with the red trim but, they are spendy. I want to make sure I put these on carefully and let them fully bond before I drive the car so I've not gotten them put on yet. I could drive the Tundra....but I can't walk past the MINI without getting in it in the morning. Here's a link.

Wife is an Web Developer and she made it for me. I copied a few things from the interweb and my wife put them all together.

I am finally coming out of the closet; Hi, my name's Dave, and I drive a chili red 04 Cooper S. The only car I ever named was the Mustang GT that was sold to buy the Cooper and none of those names are repeatable in a family forum such as this one so my Coopers remains unnamed until an appropriate name becomes obvious. I would like to add my name to the prestigious Chili Red list and will be posting some pictures as soon as I figure out this new iPad.

Sorry to say #551 is already taken by another CROC member. Irony is #552 is available.

Also, the next number in general that is available is 759 or if there is another number you'd like to see availability for, let me know. Thanks!

#552 would be great. I was looking at an outdated list when I asked for 551. Thanks.
