My new dinner set...

Thanksgiving with the fam would be so much more bearable if Grandma were forced to pass the gravy around the front fender of a Lamborghini Gallardo. This odd display is set up outside the William Ashley store in downtown Toronto to promote a contest for a 20-piece set of fine china. The Gallardo was hoisted up with a crane and delicately set atop four tea cups beneath each wheel. There's literally nothing holding up this car's curb weight of 3,153 lbs. except four tiny tea cups. It's rather odd to use a high performance exotic like the Lamborghini Gallardo to excite the tea and crumpets crowd, but we suspect the car's Kermit green color is more than enough to attract interest from passersby.


Based upon the last pic ... I think the Ashley store is on Bloor, near Bay St. GTA'ers -- confirm this? (I don't have any time in the near future to travel to TO so I'll miss the display)

It's right on the corner of Balmuto and Bloor, one block west of Yonge, opposite Holt's.
The car had been there for most of the Film Festival, and it wasn't till yesterday morning that I realised it was resting on the teacups
Grabbed a picture on my phone as soon as I realised.

If it's on that corner ... then isn't it across from Harry Rosen?
Balmuto is around the corner from the Uptown Theatre (well ... if it was still open) where they used to play movies for the Filmfest and across the street from the Yorkville cinemas.I used to live on UofT (St. George) campus for 4 years ... but it's been a while so my memory is failing me.

If anyone is still interested in taking a look at the display, I asked today and they said it's going to be there till Sunday.
