Before Christmas David at Import Bible sent me one of the 'Hats Off' shirts from series six of his Import Bible clothing line. His sixth line of shirts maintains the same level of quality of his previous offerings (great), and I'm a big fan of this design in particular. There are not a lot of car shirts I wear outside of industry events but this one has found itself in my regular rotation.

Yesterday I got on the subway in Mississauga (with no snow in sight) only to arrive to Toronto in the middle of a snowstorm. That's a complete weather change in about 30 minutes. The snow combined with the bitter cold (double digit negatvies with wind chill) served as a reminder that old man winter has kicked off his shoes and put his stanky old feet on the coffee table with intentions of over staying his welcome.

On Saturday I posted a picture of this Bronco II on the Fan Page with an open call for more information. A couple minutes later @hothweelsnick shot me a link to a 2010 Minitruckin' feature on the truck. The feature revealed that there is more going on here than a curious front end swap and a considerable ride height adjustment.

When it was announced that Pat Cyr was Scion Canada's choice  to campaign the FR-S for the 2013 season I think that the entire province of Ontario unanimously said 'Hell Yeah'. Scion Canada couldn't have picked a better person, or driver, to represent their brand and I don't think I am the only one who  feels Pat receiving support like this was long over due. During the conversation in which he invited me to come check out the car I could tell by the excitement in his voice that what he was building after hours at Cyrious Garageworks was something special.

After SEMA I took a serious liking to C10s, I mean I have always enjoyed them on some level, but after seeing Brad Commer and Chris Smith's pro touring trucks I took a real liking to them. Not to mention all of the other ones literally sitting on the floor both inside and outside of the Las Vegas Convention Center. At the time I held back on this Theme Tuesday because I was posting a lot of trucks.

By now I'm sure many of you have already been inundated with Tokyo Auto Salon coverage from various other online media sources as it seems like everyone was at TAS this year checking out the latest and greatest Japan has to offer. Everyone except myself of course, but thanks to the great people over at Nextmod I've got some excellent TAS coverage to share here.

A few weeks after SEMA, while searching for something I can't remember, I stumbled across a blog called Just A Car Guy. As the name states the gentlemen who runs it is just a car guy that finds anything with wheels cool. The blog is perhaps the most eclectic collection of everything automotive I have seen in  awhile and where I originally found today's gem of a WTF Friday specimen.

Ollie sent me photos of this Starlet some months ago now but since I only recently started properly sorting out his submissions it stayed buried in my inbox. I initially thought this was just another awesome modified Starlet (snapped by talented photographer Patrik Karlson) but a little digging revealed it was much more than that.
