久遺了的 Fire Pit



今日午飯時間去了密市的稅務局放低報稅表﹐然後心血來潮去了附近的 Fire Pit。

屈指一算﹐差不多二十二年沒有吃過 Fire Pit 的漢堡飽。以前在 Finch & Keele 有一間 (在東北角 ESSO 油站隔鄰)。 依稀記得﹐應該是 1984 或是 1985 年開的。在 Four Winds Drive 住的日子﹐ 間中也有去用膳。

還記得那段日子很喜歡替不同的主流店鋪譯中文名。“力哥”神來之筆為 Fire Pit 譯名為“火湖”﹗

今日付款時搭訕﹐知道密市這一間應該是大多倫多地區唯一的一間﹔ 是從 Brampton 市搬到密市的。

二十二年沒有吃過﹐當然不記得當年的味道是怎麼樣啦﹗今天這一個﹐味道不錯﹐漢堡飽與薯條是一貫 non-chain burger 鋪的質素 (meaning 一定好過麥記同堡記﹐甚至哈記)﹔反而淋落薯條的 gravy 帶來驚喜﹐很有肉味。

可惜都是離開 office 比較遠一點﹐不可以時常去。

First generation Toyota Tercel - Still On The Road!

Driving on northbound 400 after work today and saw this baby. Still going very strong ... had no problem passing other cars on the highway.



Considering the model year (1978 to 1982), this car is almost 30 years old! No wonder people say that Toyota's are virtually indestructable!

GONOW on the 400 and 407

As promised, here are the photos of the GONOW ...



Made in China cars finally on Canadian Soil

Driving to work this morning, saw a GONOW SUV (similar to this one) on southbound 400 then exited onto westbound 407. I will post the photos (taken using my cell phone) tonight.
