You took the words right out of my mouth, i was exactly thinking of the Lacoste crocodile, but i think we would have to make it red instead of green, how does that sound?

Just realised I never got around to posting pics. I will have some new ones soon, as I will be taking pics with our new baby girl riding in style (only 3 weeks left to go)

I'll re-draw the crocodile as my own line art and then give it a more graphic edge to it. I designed all of the Owner's Club Logos, so I should be the one to mod 'em .

The Crocodile image just fits great. Rough, snarly, raspy, tough and quick. Everything our little MINI Cooper's are.

It is going to be a little while before I can get to illustrate the crocodile, I'm swamped with another car club T-shirt design right now.

well i think we need to make a simble, i passed by a fellow CR owner today and i was staring at her car as she was staring at mine and i had no clue what to do a thumbs up, the rad sign? i just smiled in the end, but i think we need a specific CROC passers by sign that we can flash to fellow CR owners, and itll be cool b/s we may be bale to meet some of each other unknowingly when someone flashes the sign back

like maybe the startrek hand thing but at a 90 degree angle with the thung sticking up so it looks like a croc mouth, and the thumb would be the tail, just once suggestion

TSR, your work is excellent. You ought to go over to the Cayman Forum and show them this .... I bet they would die for a Croc Logo. (yep Caymans are called Crocs but their owners)

This is a rough, but what I had in mind. I'll re-draw the crocodile as my own line art and then give it a more graphic edge to it. After all, I designed all of the Owner's Club Logos, so I should be the one to mod 'em .

The Crocodile image just fits great. Rough, snarly, raspy, tough and quick. Everything our little MINI Cooper's are.

It is going to be a little while before I can get to illustrate the crocodile, I'm swamped with another car club T-shirt design right now. Hold tight everyone.

<< Don't use this yet! - not done.

Well it's okay. Not was i was thinking, but it's cool. I don't know if it's the right look, a little too um violent or something imo. Great job though i wish i could at least come close to doing that!

Sign me up
Add me to the list of Cr/W owners. #51 would be good if not taken, otherwise just throw me in the mix.
Also would like to get a grill badge.

Add me to the CROC family. Looking over the numbers, looks like 111 might be up for grabs. If so, may I take it? Saw two others today. What are the odds!?!

Both of you are now official.

CROC is becoming one of the biggest groups on NAM to date.

I just ordered my Chili Red MCS, with a delivery date of mid June. How do I join the CROC? Does anyone have an idea of the percentage of Chili Red MINIs with black, white, or body color roofs?
