But ya, I'm here for a month so it would be cool to stop buy see if Canadian 8s are any different.

You guys are bad :p Anyone remember the name of the wicked burger joint on Yonge near Vic College, the one beside the Scientology Centre (Yeah I know, WTF?) That place had the best burgers. 3 Strips of bacon, Cheese, thick beef patty and then there's the toasted buns and the bed of fries that is sits on. I haven't seen anyone finish it when I was in school. It would probably kill me if I ate that now :D

The Brass Rail is must if you're attending U of T, that's for sure Ah, post-secondary education at it's best...hmmm...we need a devil smirking icon...

Oh a great eats is the Green Mango, if it's still there. I loved that place. Eat there and catch a Tuesday flick at the ol' Uptown theatre--is it still running? Biggest **** screen in Toronto if you ask me. If you like to see some sweet rides while you there at school. Hop over to Yorkville If you plan to eat there, well, save up. It's one of the posh places in town.

Was it called Brothers? The greasy spoon place? That place had the best burgers in town! Sadly they closed down about 5 years ago...

When I was 14, I worked next door to the Brass Rail at La Maison Du Croissant. Well one of the 'bring home to mom ladies' would order a freshly squeezed orange juice everyday and have one of us deliver it. It took me the whole summer to convince my manager that I was the person for the job. That was the first time in there but definately not my last.

I used to work at Lick's in Richmond Hill and so far in my life they still have the best burgers, and I used to live in the south.

BTW I'm only applying for UoT didn't get accepted yet, heard it's REALLY hard, I did pretty good in school but...

Hey Guys, I work at Yonge/Bloor and sit on the 'rock' in Yorkville every lunchhour to ogle the fine scenery (cars too!). The Rail is still going strong but the Uptown has folded (literally). Green Mango is a big hit with the office up here. I too love to drive through Yorkville and chuckle as people are paying more attention to my ride than the Ferraris and Lambos. Incidentally today I saw four Ferraris, Two lambos, 2 Maseratis, 3 Carreras and a whack load of Bimmers (M5s and M3s). There is some sick coin around here....

Sharky, What do you think you are driving an rx-8? Oh wait :p Ya Yorkville has quite the view in all areas. Veloci, Licks does have a special place in my heart for their burgers. as of now, their the best.

Ya I live right next to yonge/bloor intersection, I have seen the ferraris and lambos you are talking about, they hang out over by the resteraunts where that one resteraunt with the wierd name is Zassofan or something like that. I have seen a red 8, a green one and a Titanium grey one in my building, haven't seen your blue one, I'll keep a look-out, if you see someone in the area wave at you from the street it will be me. I'll probobly go for a walk down bloor later anyway.

Helas - Green Mango would be a cool idea, haven't been there for quite sometime. Licks is only second to Wimpy's in my book -- More of the "real" diner food wise if you ask me. There's Hero's Burger, expensive for a burger, but they only use Angus beef. I like them, but I dunno, when I see how much it costs..eh. Their fries kick *** though.

Sharky - Ah, you lucky bastard. There be some, um, very fit women there. There used to be a Bloor Street Diner near where I work (Don Mills and York Mills), but their prices where like the one down there and now it's an EB Games store--I dunno why I find that funny, but I do. Never have eaten at either one, but did get into the front doors with friends at the one at Yorkville, checked the menu and left. :D

yyzspecialk - Brothers! That's it. What!? Gone? That sucks

Lawyer's Spirit - Let me speak for everyone here and comment with one word.

:p BASTARD. :p

VelociRedBeast - Great location to be living man. Don't be surprised to see some movie stars along your way to school. They owned the streets down there during filming. Don't worry too much. You can't do anything now but wait. So enjoy the warm, HA!, Freaking hot days and the views that come with such weather while you wait. Might as well start scoping good areas to hang, take dates too and find them good eats as well. Let me know if you wish to know where all the pool rooms are at UT, I think I can remember them all, but if I don't, there's enough of us here that can map them out for ya .

Do people still pick up/scope out people at the big turkey (Robarts Libaray)? Damn place almost made me blind with their crappy lighting. Candles would have been better I wonder if the grease truck is still out front?

LOL, what's the title going to be? DEAD? Joking a side it would be cool to see some T.O. in a decent action flick. Ha, if a good number of cruise the area, perhaps one of the our 8's will be caught on film, that or you'll have a good chance at picking up some honeys lurking around :p

Since you are here (In Toronto) for the month you should come out to Mosport on June 17th-June 19th weekend to watch the Grand Am Cup races. The Speedsource Rx-8's will be running.
