It occurred to me the other day that MINIs as a group seem to have a large number of cars named/themed after cartoon or comic book characters.
I'd love to see how many there are here on NAM. If your MINI is one of them, or if you know of one and even have a pic, please post it for all to enjoy.
My son is coveting his own MINI one day and has already decided it will be a cartoon character MINI, he has multiple possibilities and loves to come up with more to make me laugh.
MINIs are way too much fun!

Heres' mine, of course to start things off.



And the side windows:

Our MINI is named after a cartoon character!

 

My MINI is named after a doll (Malibu Stacy) on a cartoon (The Simpsons).

 

The little friendly guy of course.

 

Mine is named Thumper, after Thumper the rabbit from Bambi...haha. My car's color combo matches Thumper perfectly, and the name just suits my car well I think :-).

 

Not here yet, but mine's The Gray Ghost, from Batman: The Animated Series.

 

"Buck" (Rogers) Space Blue Space Cadet . . .

 

the nickname for mine's woodstock:

 

Hey there,

No cartoon characters here - we named ours after our sons nickname - "The Plaid Ghost ". My son ( 4yrs old now ) will sneek out of his room at night covered by a Plaid blanket - AKA the Plaid Ghost.

We got the Plaid sunroof graphic installed and the name stuck -

 

Mine is Trogdor. After the Strong Bad cartoon on the net. Just click on the name and watch

 

Mine is kind of obscure, and I'm still working on getting graphics put on it, but it's named Tricky Fish (reference to sharks) from the movie Lilo & Stitch.

 

I'm thinking about "Dashiell" after D. hammett the author of the "Maltese Falcon" and other hard-boiled crime fiction (I'm a writer), but then I remembered that "Dash" from the Incredibles was named after him, too!

 

"Maxine" here from the outspoken woman on the Hallmark cards and cartoons.

Mine is apparently named (or not named) after a boutique in Venice Beach.

 

Haven't named or received my MCS yet, but I'm leaning towards Pippin.

Not a cartoon or comic book, but in the same spirit...

 

That's awesome! I named mine Homestar!! After Homestar Runner in the Strong Bad cartoons!

 

My Blue Meanie is named after the characters in the Beatles animated movie, "Yellow Submarine." (They are electric blue )

I think there are at least a couple more Blue Meanies here on NAM!

 

Mine is in my screen name, which i have a pic on my sunroof, which i will post someday.

 

Not exactly a comic book character but mine's named Chloe after the character in Smallville, however I hear they’re writing her into the Superman comics, so she will be soon.

 

 

The Simpsons of course.

 

I love your explanation uglyduck! Jack-Jack is really a cute name!

 

All great names, I'm glad to see there are "others" out there like me!!!
I know we have Mr. Magoo out there, too and a few others.

Msfitoy's named after a group of characters...Charlie in the Box, The square wheeled train, Dolly doll...I forgot what her problem was

 

I think the Dolly doll's problem was her attitutude
I loved that movie, show, whatever it was. I had a cat named Bumble, and if I did a HB MINI I was going to name it Cornelius!!!

Ok, pretty funny. I just did a search about Rudolph and found this....

The number one question that we get asked about the special is: What is wrong with the MISFIT GIRL DOLL? Arthur Rankin answers this question on page five of my book. Apparently, her problem was more psychological than physical. I have recently obtained THE original 10-28-63 draft of the script by Romeo Muller and the MISFIT GIRL DOLL does not appear in this first draft.
