M

Bought mine! Now, I feel the need for speed... eh Tiki

T

Bought mine. shipping said $4.00 ? something like that

I just ordered mine, but shipping was half the price listed on the site ($4.44 rather than $10). I hope this isn't a mistake.

-g-

Vroom Vroom....Yea for Speed Tiki on it's way here!

T

4.00 would be better than driving to a store (gas money) and standing in line (time is money) and then... well four would be OK

Yeah, $4.00 is better than driving to the store. I just paid 2.32 per gallon of gas
yesterday.
mines on it's way

Got mine !!! ordered at 6:30 pst. had no problem going thru

Hello, Thanks for all the orders!! SPEED TIKI is Moving right along.

#37 was waiting for me when I got home yesterday. Speed Tiki is a GREAT mug. I love the purple flames and lime-green inside. Nice work Don & Squid & the Farm!!!

The Lime Green interior is SWEET! I got # 3 on Wednesday. Great mug!

Mine arrived on Thursday. It is larger than I thought. Very nice. Thank You!

Got #32 in the mail on Friday. Very nice mug. Excellent shipping and packaging job. It was very protected (although I was worried that it was broken when I heard the rattle of the metal nose ring.)

T

Scared?? Then it was better than the Ring 2

If you have ordered a SPEED TIKI it has been shipped. Even the ones ordered today have shipped. I still have some for sale.
Thanks for making this fun.
Mahalo, Don

I received mine today - I love it! Very cool design, and that flame on the top is perfect. Great job, Don!!!

Thanks I like it all Metal piercing - Lime green BLACK and Pink.

Nice job designing packing and shipping
Mahalo

just got #75 today . Badass thanx TikiFarm and Don Hudson

T

Got #87. Lime Green and black look awesome on a mug, as I said before about Tiki Diablo's mug. It just doesn't work with spandex biking shorts! :)

I received 47 & 48 on Monday. Another great Tiki Farm mug. I can't believe these haven't sold out yet.

We still have some SPEED TIKI Left, Please help me sell the remaining supply,and I will donate all the profit to a fund being established for a fellow racing competitor of mine,who along with her son, were tragicly killed in a Racing Accident at Tulsa Raceway Park over the weekend. heres the story..http://www.dragracecentral.com/DRCStory.asp?ID=91798#indextop
I know that this really doesnt have anything to do with the"day in dayout" things that we discuss on here, But Like many others on here I too have interests & businesses that TIKI helps tie together.

hey kids, i have a question...does anyone know where one could get tiki patches...like iron ons, etc...
thank you.

Any Speed Tikis left? (Just wondering.)

Hi Tiki Greg!
Yes, I still have some left to sell. You can still order off our web site.
Mahalo

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!

T

I have a couple of the Speed Tikis, and it is more of a matte finish than a glossy finish. I have other mugs that are definitely more matte, but I certainly wouldn't call Speed Tiki glossy.

I don't know about Don keeping track of all the numbers, but he may be doing that.

T

I just bought one off of e-bay 6208658661. It looks pretty shiny to me. I don't have it in hand yet. I'll post an update when it arrives.

T

mine is not glossy. And I have more than one. Oh, and if there is a registry going, I sent one to Germany.

Yeah, that sure does look pretty glossy! Let us know what it's like when you get it. All the pics I've seen of it on TikiFarm and Don's site indicate its more of a matte finish, but who knows?

I bought my two mugs when Don posted he was donating the profits to the family of a fellow driver that lost her life in a racing accident. I'm glad I did buy them. I'm really enamored of the black exterior coupled with the glossy lime green inner glaze. Tiki Diablo has a mug with the same combo of glazes. It's quite striking if you've ever seen it in person. I'm sure you can still get them on Don's site.

Edit: P.S. - I predict that this mug will go the way of the Shecky mug. Shecky mugs went homeless for months, and now you can't get one for love nor money.


When life hands you limes... make Mai Tais!

The Speed Tiki that I have is more of a matte/semi-gloss finish like a lot of the older black tiki mugs.

If what TikiGreg says is true... Buy yours now... you can still get it

It's a GREAT mug. One of my favorites.
