I saw a Mini Cooper S with the license ROTORHED on Riverside in Ottawa yesterday.

What could it possibly mean? Why would a "rotor-head" drive a Mini? Is it a rotary fan with an unfortunate phobia about RWD? Someone who bought the wrong trendy car by mistake? Unfortunately he turned off and I didn't get a chance to ask.

 

Maybe his/her OTHER car is a rotary powered one? There haven't been many options for the past what 10 years if you wanted to buy a NEW car with 4 seats AND a rotary engine.

 

Then the plates are on the wrong car. Besides, that Mini's gotta be new (or almost). Wouldn't a true ROTORHED have held out for the RX-8? Like I did (and I'm not really a rotorhed).

Oh well, I'll have to let it go for now. Maybe I'll pull up within shouting distance of that car someday. I'll go back to worrying about horsepower and floor mat clips.

 

Maybe it was "working girl" advertising her special "skills"

 

Well, it wasn't far outside Vanier...
