Vector Image of Cabrio?

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I've noticed a few people have Vector images of their MINIs in their signature and I was hoping to get my hands on the source for one of these to edit it to look like my own car for personal use.

Thanks.

A vector image is an image made up of shapes, lines, curves, and nodes instead of pixels. Basically it means you can resize it to any size you'd like without losing any quality at all and it's incredibly easy to work with since you can simply change the color of one shape to change the body color, etc.

I'm with you. There aren't really any vector images out there. I'm working on learning Illustrator CS2. It has a 'live trace' function that looks like it might be some help. But I've just about resolved myself to learning CS2 and drawing it by hand.

The one in my sig was converted by a friend from a photo, but it's still a bitmap. Lookee what I had done with that. Mom has the embroidery machine, but I had to get a 'service bureau' to convert the jpeg to a stich file. $$ I'm investigating software to do that myself, then Mom might get into a small side biz doing custom MINI shirts. We'll see...
