Maybe it should be Spike and Chester, from Bugs Bunny.

Hey Spike?

Nice and cute.
Thanks for posting the two of them together, they look good in the rain. Do some more when you have them out together doing some off-road runs.

I do like the silver and white theme. Great wedding cake, too.

One day my three year old daughter yelled out from the back seat, "MINI Coopa!!!". I looked and it was a Blue Toyota FJ with a white roof. But she got the basic concept.

Awesome pair!! Love them!! So strange...or maybe not, considering your choice (and a couple other comments within this thread), but I was having the hardest time deciding between getting an FJ and getting a MINI. I finally decided on the MINI, but if I could afford a second car, I'd be ordering an FJ too. Perhaps people who love MINIs also love FJs?

They look great together! Great taste you have!

I had the problem solved for me--two months before I decided for sure to go with the MINI, my little brother brought home his new car--a black FJ with black steel rims. It took me looking at every car on the market to be sure that the MINI was the way to go--but I couldnt resist after driving one!

Cute,
FYI, Speed Racer is coming out in 2008! Emille Hirsch plays Speed and Christina Ricci plays Trixie. Heh, I wonder how long it will take MINI to do a Mach 5 package?
