    I must have left a little too early, as the F12 and the Aventadors weren't there. Guess I should stay a little longer, or show up later

    No surprise. North Van now is the most unfriendly place for expensive cars. Why don't they move it to West Van, just 10 minutes away, but totally different environment.

    Pretty good spots today in Langley:

    -A red 599 GTB filling up at the Chevron gas station on 200 St and 86 Ave.

    -A matt-black Lambo Aventador driving down 208 St near the Independent store in Willoughby. It had a "Lamborghini of Vancouver" decal across the top of the windshield.

    -A red 430 Spider heading south on 200 St near the NAPA warehouse, north of the freeway. This has to be the same 430 Spider I keep seeing in the early mornings in Walnut Grove on my way to work.

    I was heading out to dinner this evening and saw the red 430 Spider AGAIN, heading north on 208 Street in Walnut Grove... Kudos to the owner because with this many sightings, it's gotta be a daily driver.

    Spotted two 458 spiders in Abbotsford. Both live very close to me. The first one is two houses down from me, he upgraded from his 348. Its a rare color I believe Lemans blue its called, his 348 was the same color. The second lives about 3 miles from my house, very boring typical red on tan.

    Hey guys, I'm in Vancouver tomorrow and leaving Sunday, and I was wondering if there are any supercars related events or places I should check out. Thanks in advance!

    Ariel Atom, visiting a house in my neighborhood with WA plates. I was very surprised to see it. Looks much better in person over photos. Like my rule with celebrities and autographs, don't do it, I don't take photos of strangers cars.

    Vancouver is pretty boring. Guess you could have window shopped some dealers. The Ferrari dealer is a neat drive by, love their building.

    I actually spotted a 599 Gtb on Howe st. A couple days ago, as well as Robbie's Blu Glauco Aventador, an SLR 722s, and an mso 650s. Checked out all the dealers too, and the salesman at Ferrari was nice enough to show us up to the 3rd and 4th floors. Had some pretty interesting cars up there ;)

    Vancouver has many owners of exotic and supercars...so to speak. However, the level of organization and cooperation for "public" events is very limited. I tried contacting the FCABC on a couple of occasions after buying my F car, but received no responses despite following the registration process. No worries on my part, I would only be an occasional participant with limited interest in larger scale events. There is a private club that holds "events" for its members called "ClubTrofeo" and I understand that its' members are quite active.... Maybe try contacting them...

    Cheers

    Spotted yesterday about 1:00 pm, red 308 GTS southbound on causeway from Lions Gate Bridge. Always good to see older Ferraris on the move.
