I'll have a medium coffee, black, and one of those chocolate glazed on the right.

But where's the drive-thru? A Timmy's without a drive-thru is like... is like... man, I can't even think of a decent metaphor!!!! <gong!>

I really like the trays of goodies. You've got the overall feel of a Tim's. But you really need that drive-thru.

Thanks for working on this for us. A nice start to the day. (to paraphrase Duvall: "I love the smell of coffee in the morning.")

This is very well-done, you've captured the feel of a Tim Hortons exactly.

I agree about the drive-thru. What's a Tim Hortons without the drive-thru, and the drive-thru line-up backed onto the highway?

Very cool (even though I'm not familiar with Tim Hortons). I especially like how you did the parking lot. That must have taken a ton of tiles.

Wow Sir Terrance that is awesome! I love it. Its odvious that the pavement is brand new, (its black). The doughnuts rock, and the building is awesome.

I agree that it needs a drive thru, the only Tims that I ever saw without one was ummmm, wait I never saw one without.


I will have a chocolate long John and a bottle of peach juice.

Oooh, yes, yes, yes... a real Long John :!: How I miss those treats. Around here a so-called 'long john' is more like a naked chocolate eclair (i.e. NO chocolate). When I describe a real Long John to my co-workers, they give me that pitying look!

In Lego I would use a tan 1x2 plate topped by a brown 1x2 tile for this delicacy.

I just thought I would point out a couple details. There are two machines behind the till. One has a stick coming down. That is supposed to be the Iced Cappucino mixer, and thats why the stack of clear 1x1's are supposed to the cups.
