I gotta find one of those programs somewhere and install it first. I know i have it somewhere. Actually I hope that they will be able to do my request then I won't have to spend countless hours figuring out photoshop. Not a photoshop person. I'm just being patient and not buggin/annoyin anyone.

Thanks for doing this, COOPERation.

Hope you don't mind, I "borrowed" a couple of your cars, and used photoshop to combine the PW hardtop with a cabrio and came up with a PW convertible.
(See my signature below.)

I love it!!!

Ok, I spliced together a couple of pixar'd Minis to get my sig Mini closer to my actual car. I think I boogered up the roof a little, but I don't think it's too noticable. I also made the eyes a little droopier from the lack of sleep while dodging seagull poop on the docks waiting for his ship.

But the F360 Modena

True the F430 was not in production when they began the Cars Movie. But the F360 modena was in production. Remember that these are Cartoon renditons of cars And it is not that much for an artist to modify a F360 into a F430!

Another thing is that if the car in question was only in the movie for a few seconds they could have added it in later in production.

For anyone not familiar with it the total size of all the images in the signature space is not to exceed 500 pixels wide by 100 pixels tall

True. And perhaps that is what "Cars" had a delayed release

... for the same reason they could have hired a "mini" or "MINI" as an extra

I don't think it is burping, but the artist captured the owner's MINI as well as the owner's personality with that one!

That's basically what I did. I parted out a couple cars and gave the one with the expression I liked a paint job. Unfortunately I DO spend most of my days working in Photoshop.

They're sooo freakin' cute I smile everytime I look at them! COOPERation did an excellent job but I figured probably doesn't want to spend hours configuring cartoon MINIs to all of our specs.

OH I love the EB! I think of it more as a sneer than a burp. Too funny. And the dark one with the bloodshot eyes is great! Whose car is that one? I love that they are all specific NAM cars. Very clever.

The funniest thing in all this is that through all those "Cars" previews, I never, ever noticed that the eyes were in the windshield until THIS thread!

I guess my mind says the headlights are the eyes, and I have to really stare at the things for my brain to recognize the eyes in the windshield.

Oh my...I seem to have struck a cord with these things, thanks for the compliments.

For those that have been trying to reach me via PM and haven't been able to get through, my apologies...others have beat you to it and filled my PM box to capacity. I will try to oblige everyone in due time, but please be patient with me, I'm quite busy with other projects. :impatient

I also need to find time to go see the movie...anyone wanna rent a limo and see it with me?

LOL, that's great!! Run on down here and go to the drive-in with us tomorrow night to see it. Then you can zip over the Parkway and run the Dragon and head home. It won't take you long........watch the corners on the Dragon in that thing though.

Poor COOPERation! He tries to do a little something nice for all of us and then we make him work day and night fulfilling our demands for personalized MINI Cars characters.
