^I wonder if it was this one? They look identical, and I don't think there are many targa kits floating around anymore.

That's quite possible!  I've certainly never seen one like it before.  Good find!  :thumbup:

I much prefer that black Karmann Ghia that lives in Millidgeville.  That kit makes it look like a 914 wannabe.

^^ These things are so common around Montreal that one will really notice odd balls that nobody buys, like the Sonic RS that I saw this morning. Sonics are pretty rare , and this is the first RS I see.

Saw an electric smart at around 10 tonight on QEW going from TO to Oakville. It was tailgating ppl in the left lane hitting 130kph on occasion. Gotta be SE  :rofl2:

'80s mullet machines yesterday: beat-up, scruffy base-trim 3rd-gen Firebird; new-looking 3rd-gen Z28 and sharp / lightly modded Mustang LX 5.0 hatchback. All cars were white, by coincidence.

This morning: guy commuting with a Polaris Slingshot.
