Today is DickDavid grille badge day

One of the things I like about the MINI experience is how seamlessly the heritage of the Mini has blended with the birth of the new MINI. Grille badges are a part of that heritage and they’re part of what makes MINIs stand out in a crowd.

My friend DickDavid (his name is Richard) recently started a cool thread on NAM where people are having custom magnetic grille badges made so they can trade them. Richard had his custom badges made by Cooperflags and he recently sent me one (thanks Richard!). It’s on MINIBee now so I am declaring today “DickDavid magnetic grill badge day.”

The badge looks great. What a cool idea!

The badge looks great. What a cool idea!

Of course I still owe him one of the Mod Squad grille badges I plan to have made soon. And at some point I plan to have a MINIBee badge made to share with friends. Richard will be the first recipient.

I have to say that Richard’s idea and the spirit of what’s happening in the grille badge trading thread represents the best of what NAM could and should be. I’ll have some more thoughts on that topic in another post.
