Here's a start:

You can download a vector file of the star with face. The gear element isn't available.

I'd totally buy one of these if the Shepard ever made badges.

I'm hoping there will be some badges for sale at the MTTS Owner's Party in Chicago on Friday (because I won't be able to make it to the rest of the event at Road America).

It would be nice to pick up some MINI souvenirs while I'm there.

No badges for sale at the Owner's party, but I did meet Todd from WRR/Motoringbadges. I also met Jason of Designs for Motoring who gave me and my son a free badge! COOL!

Here are pics if anybody is interested.

Great folks at the event, but we had to leave early.

So, anyone who is interested in getting the LA MTTS badge [if you want to get all 4 locations], we are going up on Saturday. Post in here or PM me and I'll pick them up.

Edit: I'll check in here Friday night. If you decide on Saturday that you want one, PM me. I'll get it on my Blackberry.

Looks like they're back in stock.

ngweibing -- From what I understand, each location will only be for sale at that location. I'm not entirely sure though... The booth where they are going to be for sale at is going to be my first stop when we get there, so I'll be able to [hopefully] buy as many as necessary!

Some club badges. Some from MotoringBadges.com and some from CooperFlags.

Well, my collection has grown quite a bit since i started this thread over a year ago. I no longer call my badges a collection, but rather an installation in the world's first motoring badge museum.

I've gone overboard with these so now I'm embracing my addiction. My goal is to eventually take on donations of those who lose interest (in the badges or their MINIs - hopefully not for a long time) and have an archive of all those that were available to the MINI community.

Here is my latest pic:

Fortunately for me, my wife's not interested. I guess if she ever left me, she'd get the house and I'd get the badges. Looks like I need to build up my collection.

Do you have the art work for it? You could always get one custom made by Cooper Flags.

You can get one made for $15 or 9 for $72 (in case you have 8 EMT friends with MINIs).

That's a pretty good price for a 1 off reproduction. You get your real savings when you buy in bulk.

Does anyone know if a sticker will hold up well on a magnetic badge, it, cut a 3" diameter magnet and put the sticker on it? Or should I put a protective coating over that?

It depends on the sticker. IF it's automotive (or outdoor) quality vinyl, like a bumper sticker, you should be fine.

We would definitely be interested in an EMT badge.

Sorry, Chris. It's not my fault they're contagious.
