However, I can honestly say I get the same cool/cute vibes from Toothless as I get from my MINI. My wife thinks it's cute, yet I still get approving nods from the guys in GTIs.kyalityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13802490036441961796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34721760.post-3961321309706865412010-12-05T10:10:55.688-07:002010-12-05T10:10:55.688-07:00While creative in your suggestion that toothless&#...While creative in your suggestion that toothless' appearance is similar to that of a MINI - I would have to say that it appears somewhat off the mark. <br /><br />Toothless' composition is more likely:<br />Body design: Flying Fish <br />Head/Mouth: Giant Japanese Salamander <br />Eyes: Reptilian<br /><br />That being said, good call on the speeder bike reference. <br /><br />See below for flying fish & Salamander pictures: <br /><br />http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://lh3.ggpht.com/_iRCt-m6tg6Y/SqkgPu9ngLI/AAAAAAAALuM/yj76uTspD_g/ikan-terbang-4.jpg&imgrefurl=http://somethinbeautiful.blogspot.com/2010/04/two-wing-flying-fish-photos-flying-fish.html&h=396&w=627&sz=32&tbnid=RBFUsv7sVWC6LM:&tbnh=86&tbnw=136&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dflying%2Bfish&zoom=1&q=flying+fish&usg=__wgrFH8tS2R-f3fQpnCW5XNxzBS8=&sa=X&ei=P7b7TKnpIoP88Abl6eGUCw&ved=0CDEQ9QEwAw <br /><br />http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://images.travelpod.com/users/nateandglenn/1.1283978579.japanese-giant-salamander.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.travelpod.com/travel-photo/nateandglenn/1/1283978579/japanese-giant-salamander.jpg/tpod.html&usg=__gcm2kh-1xtOqhSRHFttjgbMyLyg=&h=413&w=550&sz=74&hl=en&start=0&zoom=1&tbnid=rXNIkktzlO87fM:&tbnh=127&tbnw=181&prev=/images%3Fq%3Djapanese%2Bgiant%2Bsalamander%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26sa%3DX%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:official%26biw%3D1580%26bih%3D665%26tbs%3Disch:1&um=1&itbs=1&iact=rc&dur=427&ei=p7j7TJPGMoOclgfFp9GMBQ&oei=p7j7TJPGMoOclgfFp9GMBQ&esq=1&page=1&ndsp=32&ved=1t:429,r:25,s:0&tx=77&ty=58Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34721760.post-29666415028104852242010-10-18T13:37:54.360-06:002010-10-18T13:37:54.360-06:00Finally got around to seeing this over the weekend...Finally got around to seeing this over the weekend, and I've got to say I agree. The flying scene with the cheat sheet and subsequent snicking through the "gears" was exceptionally well done, and for me at least, reminded me of the first time I rowed through a transmission by sheer muscle memory instead of having to think about it. Also - the boy dug the movie and it's now joined Cars and the Toy Story flicks in his little rotation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34721760.post-54261200047557923442010-05-19T22:39:10.969-06:002010-05-19T22:39:10.969-06:00I found the pic of the MINI on worldcarfans.com - ...I found the pic of the MINI on worldcarfans.com - tons of great auto images on that site!kyalityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13802490036441961796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34721760.post-44329016930139696942010-05-11T22:23:51.635-06:002010-05-11T22:23:51.635-06:00Where did you find the pic of that MINI??
