Caught in the recent rains in New Zealand is this lonely, Liquid Yellow MINI, desperately doing the dog paddle to get back to shore.
Now we know Gabe isn’t a fan of LY, but even that tough Chicagoan will feel sorry for this little guy!

The MINI Vaughan West (Toronto) launch party on March 31 that I mentioned in an earlier post just got a lot better! Believe it or not, if you mention WhiteRoofRadio to Motoring Advisor Cosmo this Saturday you’ll get $500 off a new MINI. Special for WRR fans only!
(FYI – you have to tell him before you negotiate your purchase price that you’re a WRR listener).
This dealer is fantastic! They even created a special MINI Canada-like themed e-vite. Check it out at http://www.minivaughanwest.ca/2007mini
6 test drive MINIs are going to be available, so everyone will get time behind the wheel. And I’ll bet the co-pilots won’t be slouches, either!
This will be a real launch party, not some dumb champagne swilling affair, but a real driving experience. See you there.

If you’re in the Toronto area, one of our 4 or 5 local dealers (yep, we have that many) is hosting their New MINI Launch Party on March 31.
RSVP to ahiggs@minivaughanwest.com.
I know you’re probably not in this ‘hood, but I wanted to share the invite with you. Very cool graphic.
Maybe I’ll see you there. You’ll know me – I’ll be the guy with the WRR fake media badge!

I’ve mentioned that Toronto is littered with new MINI billboards, but this one tops them all.
The sentiment is right on, and the poster is seen by thousands of commuters every day. The apartment building that hosts this poster is at the intersection of two major highways that cut through Toronto.
The building is often used to announce movies. Spiderman has adorned it numerous times. But not now. Spidey has left the building!

Caught in the act. Members of the Southern Ontario MINI Club out on a Sunday stroll, pulled over for driving too slow!
Yep – true. And it doesn’t snow in Canada, eh?
Happy New Year, and Very Happy Motoring.

Now this is something you won’t see in your home town, but in Beijing they’re driving real stretch MINIs. This is not your Clubman or your Traveller, that’s for sure.
Check this baby out. How ’bout the bath tub option?

You heard it on WRR this past week. MINI Canada and MINI US each entered a ready-to-rock MCS in the Targa Newfoundland Rally. You also know that for the second year in a row MINI stood out from the crowd.
Here’s a great pic of the MINI Canada entry, coming into the home stretch. Only in Newfoundland, eh?
See you on Episode 100. It’ll be a blast.
