[DeTomaso] Bag Tags--fourth time is the charm!

[MikeLDrew at aol.com]

Hi guys,

Those of you who have been around for awhile may remember that quite a few 
years ago (2004-2005), I orchestrated a group buy of custom luggage tags, 
featuring the De Tomaso logo.   Bag tags are a beautiful thing, when you're 
standing in the airport waiting for your black bag to come down the carousel, 
only to see a sea of similar black bags.   Too, having the De Tomaso logo on 
your bag immediately identifies you as a person of exquisite taste to the 
automotive cognescenti, and can serve as a great conversation starter.

I put forth the idea, quite a few people jumped on it, and then after the 
order was complete, more people wanted some, so I placed a second order, and 
then a third.   I think I wound up ordering something like 500 tags when all 
was said and done.   In Fall of 2010 I was able to get a fourth order 
filled by a friend who was deployed to Osan for a couple of months.

Good news!   The war in Iraq is over (for the moment), and so I have 
rediscovered the Pacific!   I literally hadn't flown to Korea in years and years, 
but now I'm going out there about once a month.   I'm going to be commanding 
a mission through the Pacific departing California on 21 May, and will be 
swinging through Osan around the 23rd or 24th.   So it's time to place your 
orders once again!

For those who have no idea what I'm talking about, go here:

Most people get bag tags with their names on them; they can either be had 
with cursive writing, or BLOCK CAPITAL lettering.   Although the primary 
focus is De Tomaso, I also have numerous other logos available:   Ferrari, 
Lamborghini, Porsche, Shelby, Corvette, MG, Thunderbird and Panoz.   If you 
desired some other marque, that could be arranged as well (it would be helpful if 
you provided a high-res JPG image of the desired logo).

The cost of these tags is five bucks apiece.   I will happily front the 
production costs, and when the tags arrive, I'll simply ask that you pay me via 
PayPal and give your mailing address, and then I'll mail yours off to you 
via flat-rate priority mail.   

What I need to know is:

Name (as it appears on the tag)
Tag color
Lettering color
Lettering style (either cursive or BLOCK CAPITALS)
Quantity

You can get virtually any colors you like, both for the tags and for the 
script.   As technique, I like the idea of getting the tag color to match the 
car, and the lettering to match the trim, i.e. red car with chrome trim gets 
a red tag with silver lettering.   But really, the sky is the limit.

If you have an off-the-wall color, include a sample so they can match it.

Please e-mail me privately, and in the subject line, include your name, 
i.e. "Joe Bagadonutz Bag Tag Order" so I can keep track of it easily.   In the 
past, some people just hit 'reply' and sent me an e-mail with this e-mails 
subject line, and that created confusion.   So please, include your name in 
your reply, along with the words "Bag tags".

I will create an Excel spreadsheet, and place the order when I get there.   
I'll then pick them up when I fly out there again a few weeks later.   So 
put your thinking caps on, and let me know what your desires are!

Cheers!

Mike
