Troy's Silver/Oxblood (is that the right color) Speedster is officially mine. Took her out for an evening spin, then another, and another. I don't think I'm going to be able to sleep tonight.
I think the madness has officially begun!!! 
Is it too early to ask if I can buy an SOC Medallion for my speedster??? They sure look nice.

WOO HOO! Don't plan on getting any sleep tonight, Koda!
You'll be out in the garage all night staring at your new ride from all angles!
Enjoy the ride! 
Ready for a rip anywhere near San Jose, -Steve.
The SOC badge was debated and argued about for years until Rich Drewek was finally successful with coming up with a design everybody loved. It was a limited run of 100 that were all snapped up right away. Somebody on here might have changed their mind and want to sell or Rich might entertain another run, but they're collectors items right now :-)
There are a few of us SOC newbies with cars and certified maddness. If possible an edition II
of the badge would preserve the first run collector status. I'd be willing to help Rich or whom ever with the "leg work / details"

Koda, congrats. As you know by now, a Jeannie don't come out if you rub it. Lol

There's an hour of my life I won't get back...thanks. 
Listen...I think I heard someone say badges.
Congrats on the car Koda...and I think the madness in now in full swing
Congrats Koda ...enjoy the madness !
Congratulations Koda, very nice ride, enjoy the madness.
Damn. I should have taken a picture of his SEG.
Rich, If it's acceptable to revisit the idea of new badges, I'll do all the necessary grunt work as long as it doesn't violate a one time very special issue.
Craigr, I'm not certain another badge offering at this time would be successful. The manufacturer required a minimum run of 100 badges. The 100 most maddest members snatched them up pretty quickly, but I am not so there are another 100 crazy loons out there. I'm still willing to listen.
Oh ghee; I happen to have an extra I might be willing to let go for the right price. Dialog me if you're interested...
ALB, Sent you a dialog

It'll still be there when you see me again.
Welcome to the madness!
Congrats on your new ride, Koda!
Koda:
Congrats. From what I can see with this tiny monitor, Oxblood is what I'd call it. As I think Troy mentioned, that was a classic interior color, in many of the 50's and 60's sports cars.
Enjoy

ALB, Still interested, what's up ?

It's taken root.

Is the SOC reaching any milestones such as a 10, 15, or 20 year anniversary? Maybe a new design to commemorate that or maybe an SOC medallion to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Porsche Speedster itself???
Just tossing out some ideas.
ALB, Still interested, what's up ?

Been a busy day, Craig. Check your dialog.
I have an extra badge as well. Since you're a new owner like me I will let it go for $50 plus postage. I may regret this but I guess it's better that someone displays it rather than let it sit in my desk drawer. Let me know.....Bruce
Thanks Bruce but ALB Helped get me one yesterday. Koda's into the maddness w/ newwheels.
However, Rich D , Koda has a good idea about a special milestone etc. edition. I will carry the baggage to help do this w/ your direction. I'm a retired Ad Agency guy with lots of free time.

Congratulations! Beautiful car and sounds like the experience was even better. Still waiting for my turn. Looking for a fairly new, turnkey IM Roadster. Let me know if you hear of any good ones, everybody. Thanks everyone.
Thank you to everyone who offered up a badge. Wolfgang was the first to make the offer and we have exchanged information. Tomorrow it is out of the garage and photos for the insurance company, a trip to DMV, and a trip anywhere that has a cool road and no work at the end of it. Much appreciated. Thanks.
WTTM! I'm a Fresno Speedster owner too!
Hey Robert
Congrats on your new car. it wil great to have another speedster in the hood of fresno and an enthusiastic driver. My car, known as my "mistress," will be out of the shop any day now and we will meet up. Troy, Anand, and I can help with any question you may have regarding yours. The real plus with this group is the annual trip to the coast, San Louis to be exact.. It's a blast!!!!
again congrats ...
Teby
Ps. Please don't tell anyone. the reason my car is in the shop is because I have installed a new motor.... Chevy 527 big block supercharged. Wait until you see this madness in the front of my car. ITS AWESOME!!!
It was a suggestion from the knuckle brothers!!!! Really it was!!! Lol lol
