I have a few questions regarding Don Hudson's Speed Tiki. I'm the proud owner of #109 and it has a very Matte Black finish. I've recently seen some pictures of a Speed Tiki with a gloss finish. I contacted the seller (it was on ebay) to ask him if it was flash or truely glossy. He responded that it was, in fact, glossy and not matte.

Is this guy blowing smoke or were some Speed Tikis glossy? I'm thinking he might have used some sort of cleaning agent on it that buffed it up enough to look shiny.... anyone know for sure???

One other thing, I heard that Don is trying to keep a registry of all Speed Tiki locations. If you purchased the mug directly from him does he have all your info or is this something he decided after shipping out some of the mugs??

Thanks and sorry for the loooong read!
