Default Spotted a LOT of F Types in Toronto

Was in Toronto today and spotted 4 F Types all within a few short hours. It seems there was one literally on every street corner

Conversely in the 3 years I have owned my F Type I have seen literally one or two others on the road in the US - and that's living near Greenwich / New York where I plenty of high end sports cars.

What makes Canada / Toronto such a hot bed of F Type activity??!!

Because Zach lives there (and owns more stunning cars - and F-Types - than anyone on this Forum).

You weren't the R Coupe giving it beans up by Casa Loma were you?? First time I have heard the V8 roar like that from outside the car - sounded pretty impressive !!

Saw a couple of different V6S coupes downtown as well, one red one black

Maybe us Canadians have good taste!��

LOL, or perhaps you Canadians drive F-Types better.

I’m also based in the Eastern US around NYC, and I’ve seen two F-Types in 8 months. But here in my region, the more beautiful and deserving of respect a sports car is, the more disreputable and inattentively the driver appears to be, and both drivers I witnessed followed the pattern. Jerk the brake every 15 seconds, too close behind vehicles in front of him, personal effects and litter all over the beautiful seats. Both these drivers may as well have been at the wheel of a Toyota tercel. An F-Type was wasted on these drivers.

If they drive like this when they buy an F-Type in NY, the F-Type population probably gets destroyed or taken out of commission much earlier than the F-Type community in Toronto.
It’s a sin to have a splendid car like that, if you don’t drive it like you appreciate what kind of car you’re in…

Toronto has a crazy amount of sports/supercars, my in laws live in the Markham area, lambos, Ferraris are seen daily, even in the inclement winter weather, but the F type has remained relatively rare...most of the cars I've seen were driven by young Asians.

And that's only because I like you John...(and it also shows how I never use emojis).
