Monkey Mini

That's fucking awesome.

Sorry for the profanity, but damn, sometime's it's just needed.

This is cool (despite Mini being only marginally less wussy than New Beetle). Is it an actual paint job or just a vinyl decal?

The only image in those galleries more charming than the Mini was Damion himself. Oh, how i hope he'll choose the Pork-O-Tron 5000 as the theme for his next series of visually alluring concepts!

By the way, a search for Pork-O-Tron 5000 [goats.com] in the Comics yields no results; likewise when searching for 5000 [goats.com]. But a search for Pork [goats.com] is quite successful.

In Response to Teledildonix (#31529):

You can also search successfully for "Pork Tron", although "Pork O Tron" doesn't work. Presumably the search function doesn't allow hyphens, numbers, or single characters. For instance, you can search successfully for "Onion Ring", but "Onion-Ring", which is what is actually mentioned in the strip [goats.com], doesn't work. Similarly, you won't find the Chessmaster 2000 if you include its model number in the search.

Aww, don't be mean!
The new Mini is heaps cooler than the new beetle - just compare the two movies they've been in The Italian Job [imdb.com] vs. Herbie: Fully Loaded [imdb.com], and the fact that the new beetle comes standard with a dash-mounted vase for a fake flower.
The pirate flag is a vinyl decal, just like the bonnet stripes - painstakingly installed by me.

I really have to agree.

Also, Minis go faster.

Part of why I like my Beetle is that my dog can get into the back seat more easily than any other two-door.

Notwithstanding all that, nice job with the decal. How did you make it?

Originally, I was going to just buy a sheet of black vinyl and cut out the shapes from a stencil I'd printed from Jon's original drawing, but when the time came to buy the vinyl from the sign-writers though, it was only another $10 to get them to cut it using their magical-automatic-cutting machine (which is like a large printer armed with a knife instead of ink).
Then I just gave myself a lesson in vinyl sign application, crossed my fingers and stuck it on the car.

This photo makes me dizzy [saturni.net].

Oh, I was trying to be humorous. Minis have a much cooler aura (did you forget the one from Austin Powers?).

But good job on the application :)
