Is this:
A. An MG TD, you idiot, it says so on the (Portugese) plate.
B. Racecar
C. Fiat 500
D. A Beetle
Bonus: you could have just bought an NX you know, no need to let the RX:
Shrink!
By the way, if there is any interest in a update about my life in Toronto, I’ll post that tomorrow evening.

Beetle since once upon a time MG TCs and TDs were popular kit cars and of course those kits were Beetle based.

It looks like fun, either way.
An update would be cool to hear. Always interested in hearing people’s perspectives on things.

Good! (token_liberal beat you to it by a minute, but it wasn’t a race)

Correct! I found the rear was slightly odd looking but didn’t think anything about it. But when I noticed the Beetle front suspension, and the Beetle-ish taillights, I knew it wasn’t an MG.

Sure, still looks likes fun, even being a Beetle.
Cool! I’ll write one then!

One of those fiberglass Beetle based replicas. I think there were at least a half dozen companies that made them in the ‘70s and ‘80s.

Correct! Suspension and proportions mostly give it away.

I looked at buying one one time, but, as luck would have it, the owner had actually totaled by the time I called. Can’t imagine these hold up well in a crash. I ended up buying a normal Super Beetle instead, which, was at least all steel, enclosed, and had a back seat.

What/where was that?

Beetle-based! The 500 had something similar, but it looked quite different (the Vignale Gamine)
Looking forward to an update - as a fellow Canadian (although I am here permanently and you are only an honorary one :P), I look forward to seeing how terrible you think our country is! :P

Correct!
It’s not too terrible, but I’ll make sure to include the bad things.

How much have you learned Toronto drivers only exist to run down bikes?

Honestly, they’re not so bad as expected. Though maybe me being Dutch, and having absolutely no fear on a bicycle does help.

It’s a beetle based replica, indeed!

I honestly don’t know. I didn’t have time to stop. All I know is that the place was packed with Ferraris and at least another 3 passed me heading in the direction of this thing , whatever it was.
As far as location goes,
