I told myself I wouldn't do this, but here goes - how 'bout a HB/W MCS with the new white sport stripes? And white S-lites?

Awesome work, COOPERation. I love the movie, so these are great!!

Apperently we don't fit into the idea of "the great american road trip" and NASCAR. But there are roads in that Movie I sure do wish I could drive.

The word is, they started work on the movie before the MINI was available, hence none in the movie. There are quite a few Pixar employees who drive MINIs, so I'm sure if they had had the opportunity, they would have put at least one in.

Ohhhh...that makes sense. It takes forever to create these animated movies.

I think it's baloney... The Ferrari F430 that Schumacher voiced wasn't introduced until 2004-2005. The "mini" has been around for sooo long, and the MINI longer then the F430.

Wikipedia F430

Oh, is that the kind of Ferrari that's in the movie? I haven't seen it yet, btw.

I didn't think that was a F430, but if it is, you're right. If that's the case, maybe they couldn't get MINI's permission to use the car.

EDIT: Production on the movie started in late 2001.

And you'll soon be contacted by the signature size police. . .

Nice job! I wish I was any good with photoshop. If I was, I'd make mine look more like my actual Mini (no hood stripes and the stock snowflake wheels).

Maybe I'll drag it into Paint Shop Pro and see what I can do.
