You just never know what great MINI stuff you’ll see in-and-around the streets of Toronto.
How about this? I’d like to see this Mini under Randy’s control! Todd, should we loan it to him?
(And I don’t know what that weird tornado-like cloud is above the Mini!).

Now appearing in bus shelters around Toronto, it’s MINI Canada’s latest poster. I thought you’d get a kick out of the message.
Makes you kind of hungry, doesn’t it?
This donut is a little different than the one I showed you here: click it

You know how I feel about grill badges – I love the suckers! Todd can’t make ’em fast enough for me.
While tooling around my ‘hood I came across this fantastic auto, with some original grill badges. And how about that license plate, eh?
=R=
OK, call me crazy, but I just want to show off Todd’s badges.
I’m not convinced the paint will be damaged (as my LY/B MINI had large magnetic meatball numbers on each door), but the look you see here may not stay.� After all, who wants to peel off the badges before each car wash?
But those badges sure are standout.� (My official badge holder came into stock today.� They’re somewhat of a rarity in Canada).
And that’s me, robertintoronto@gmail.com, with my Flame Spoke Wheels.� Not Horseshoe.� Flame Spoke, also apparently making an appearance on the Canadian Limited Edition MINI, whatever that is!).
(Oh, and guys:� Shania’s from Timmins, Ontario).
I was cruisin’ in my ‘hood, late last night, When my eyes spotted a very weird site, It was a MINI dressed to kill, This thing gave me quite a thrill!

With db and Todd at AMVIV, and Gabe renovating a bathroom, I thought it was time for something different.
If you’ve heard my in-MINI reports, you know I’m in Toronto, Canada. We get winter here, as evidenced by my Canadian Extreme Donut post somewhere below (near the Woofcast #39 post).
However, we’ve had a change of weather, and I’ve now installed my never-used-because-I-took-delivery-with-snows summer tires and wheels. And the wheels are the Checkmate Edition Flame Spoke specials.
As you can see, they’re nice and shiny. And round. That’s something you notice right away about these special edition wheels. They are round. And they’ve got that cute ‘horseshoe’ thing going for them.
I particularly like how nicely they match up to the rubber itself. That is one nice, tight fit. And you can’t help but notice how nicely the Flame Spokes show off the JCW brakes. That makes the whole thing worthwhile, imho.
Needless to say, you won’t see many of the Flame Spokes around, ’cause you won’t see many Checkmates around. It’s a plot, I know, to artificially inflate the price of used cars, but hey, who am I to complain?

Who’s trolling for beer in Vegas? You shouldn’t have to look too far!
