As a matter of fact, I do remember seeing bunny-something.  Must be the
same one -- there can't be very many pink miatas in California (can there?).

Sounds cool.  The one I saw was the same scheme, but they really were
white stripes and I saw it in Los Angeles area, so there must be
someone else out there with your idea.

Are your numbers dark on a white oval?  That would be the exact 60's look
I'm thinking of.
