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).
Here we are with #50. We can’t believe it either! Thanks for sticking around and listening. We do appreciate it!
db drives an x3, Todd tries to eat ice while podcasting and is really stretching the birthday out, Gabe makes bacon and everyone decides that monkeys pulling a chariot would be comedy gold! Oh yea, please don’t try to compare the audio quality of any of the TWiT podcasts. Switching from FM Radio to a TWiT cast can blow your ear drums out. Oh yea, we discuss some news too…
- April Fools MINI Skini, BMW Shef Technology, MINI Announces BYO, VW to buy MINI, plus db gives it a try
- MCSa Pulley Review
- MINI USA sales down
- MINI Challenge UK at Snetterton
- Space Grey Cloth is back
- BMW Mobile starts MINI Campaign
- Record Sales for MINI UK
Don’t forget to get those Motoringfile Grille Badges and keep an eye on Outmotoring.com for the holders very soon.
Todd did the hard part

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!

WRR #41 includes the MINI initiation of Howard, the 6′1″ Harley ridin’, truck drivin’ guinea pig for my audio experiment. It worked out quite well - both the MINI and Howard survived.
To put this all in perspective, these pics are my JCW MCS and Howard’s Lincoln, just before the ride. Now, go back and listen to the podcast ride again. You’ll have a new appreciation for Howard’s experience. =R= (Images lost during the crash of ‘06. If you have them, please let me know! ~db)
How ‘cool’ is this? The first WRR post from the frozen tundra of Canada, where in Toronto it is now minus 6 C or 21 F. You guys in the sunny south will never have the fun of making a Canadian Extreme Donut. But, just so you know, your MINI would ROCK in the snow. Ours sure do, eh? =R=
