Nous sommes chanceux de pouvoir compter sur une bonne santé mentale et la plupart d’entre nous ont également la chance d’avoir des enfants en bonne santé. Malheureusement, pour les élèves de l’école du Sommet, ils doivent composer avec des problèmes de développement toute leur vie et les choses anodaines sont un défi pour eux (se laver, cuisiner, s’habiller, se déplacer, etc...)

Comme à chaque année, nous emmenons un peu de joie dans la vie de ces enfants en leur faisant faire un petit tour en Ferrari tout en recueillant un peu de fonds dont l’école a grandement besoin.

Cette année le Ferrari fun Drive aura lieu ce samedi 28 mai de 9:00 à midi (dimanche en cas de pluie) L’école est situé au 1750 rue Deguire, Ville St-Laurent (entrée sur le côté de l’école sur la rue Grenet)

Nous avons grandement besoin de votre participation à cet événement magnifique. SVP enregistrez-vous au Ferrari Fun Drive ? by Ferrari Club of America Quebec Chapter

Merci de votre collaboration et de votre soutien


We are so lucky to be able to enjoy sound mental health and most of us are also lucky to have healthy children. Unfortunately, for the students of the Summit School, they have to deal with developmental issues their entire life and simple things are a challenge for them (getting dressed, eating, cooking, travelling, etc...)

Like every year, we bring some joy in the lives of these kids by bringing them for a ride in a Ferrari and collecting some funds for the school which is greatly needed.

This year, the Ferrari Fun Drive will be held this Saturday May 28th from 9am to noon (Sunday in case of Rain) The school is located at 1750 rue Deguire, Ville St-Laurent (entrance is on the side on Grenet street)

We desperately need your participation to this amazing event. Please register now on Ferrari Fun Drive ? by Ferrari Club of America Quebec Chapter

Thank you for your cooperation and support

As President of our beloved Quebec Chapter of the Ferrari Club of America, I would like to officially present our new committee members:

Vice-President Giuseppe Renda (JR is a automobile fanatic since forever and he’s been in the auto mechanic industry since he was a teenager. His dynamic personality and generosity will help our club progress without a doubt)

Treasurer Robert Capalbo (Robert has been a member for several years and has volunteered numerous times to help organize events and rarely misses an outing. He’s a Ferrari nut-job and always invites the club to his house every year for the viewing of the Italian Grand Prix)

Secretary Réjean Boyer (Réjean is also a very generous member with his time and is always there to help and advance our club and its causes. His contribution is welcome and will be necessary to our success)

Chairman Lino Sorella (As outgoing President, Lino has chosen to remain on board as our Chairman. His experience will surely be beneficial to all of us)

A very BIG thank you to Bernardo Pisarzewski who was an exemplary President/Chairman and we congratulate him on his new role as President of the VEA club. We wish him luck and thank him for his loyal services. Bernie will obviously remain a very active member of our club and be present for most of the events.

Thank you also to Fred Nguyen who has done an amazing job as activities director and Webmaster for the last few years.

Finally a word of gratitude and a well deserved break to Evange Destounis who has been the treasurer of our club since its inception and has done a magnificent job for the last 13 years. Evange will now take advantage of his status as a regular member and we thank you for all you’ve done for the club!

NEXT EVENT: the FIAT breakout in Little Italy from 10am to 4pm. A 500$ cash prize will be drawn among all participants who bring their car and participate in the event. (You must arrive by noon and be present for the draw to claim the prize) See poster attached

I came across this photo of a (then) new Boxer spotted on St. Catherine's (corner Montagne / looking east) back in 1979. If you look carefully, you can spot the Luigi sticker on the front triangle glass.

The Ferrari meet on Dante street in Montreal still happening? Even though I changed my mind for my next car, I remain a Ferrari enthusiast inside me and will buy my first Ferrari when I get a good deal. I just love the Cavallino from Maranello. Hope for good weather and see a lot of horses this weekend after the Ita-Ger game

 

Of course it's happening!!!

This Sunday from 10am to 4pm....lots of places to see the France-Island game since Italy is playing Saturday

See you there!

 

Great! Looking forward to it!

Parce qu’on s’ennuie un peu même pendant les vacances de la construction nous avons décidé d’organiser une belle balade ce dimanche 31 juillet pour combler la balade du printemps que nous avons dû annuler le 22 mai dernier lors de notre fête d’ouverture de nos bureaux. Également, le Ferrari Dream drive a dû être déplacé au 11 septembre prochain au lieu du 21 août comme prévu. Nous avons ajouté une autre balade le 21 août pour faire une balade d’été.

Le point de départ pour notre balade ce dimanche sera dans le stationnement en face du Bureau en gros è la place Versailles situé tout près du 5800 boul. Louis-H. Lafontaine, H1M1S7 à 10h30 et nous allons prendre le tunnel pour faire un petit tour le long du richelieu tous ensemble.

Pour ceux qui sont également membre du club scuderia Ferrari Montréal, vous pouvez nous rejoindre à l’avance soit à 7h30 pour le visionnement du Grand Prix d’Allemagne au 11755 Rodolphe Forget, Rivière-des-Prairies, Montréal, H1E 7J8
(si vous voulez venir mais que vous n’êtes pas membre, inscrivez-vous au sfclubmontreal pour seulement 60$ par année)

SVP notez les changements ci-bas, voici le calendrier pour le reste de l’année 2016:

31 juillet: Balade (remise du printemps)

6 août: Souper de groupe au restaurant Biagi’s de Repentigny avec les gagnants/donateurs du concours Ferrari VIP experience

21 août: Balade d’été

25 septembre: Raduno Vaudreuil

16 octobre: Balade d’automne

23 octobre: Visionnement du GP des États-Unis et simulateur F1 Vortex

19 novembre: Gala de fin d’année: Amici & Motori


Even if things get a little slow during the construction holiday, we have decided to organize a nice run this sunday july 31 to make up for the one we cancelled when we had our opening party for our new FCA offices last May 22nd. Also, we have to move the Dream Drive to September 11 instead of August 21 for reasons outside our control. We have therefore added a summer run on August 21.

Our meeting point for the run this Sunday will be at 10:30am in the parking lot facing the Bureau en Gros of the place Versailles located close to 5800 boul. Louis-H. Lafontaine, H1M1S7. We will take the tunnel and go for a nice rive along the Richelieu all together.

For those who are also members of the Scuderia club, you can meet us before at 7:30am for the viewing of the German GP at 11755 Rodolphe Forget, Rivière-des-Prairies, Montréal, H1E 7J8 (if you’d like to come but not a member yet you can register at sfclubmontreal for only 60$ per year)

Please note all the calendar changes for the rest of the 2016 season below:

July 31: Run (spring run replacement)

August 6: FCA Group dinner at Biagi’s restaurant in Repentigny with the winners/donors of the Ferrari VIP Experience contest

Alfa-Romeo Montreal Anniversary reunion. July 10-16th

Has anyone seen any info on this event yet?

 

Voilà!

ALFA expo17 ? Alfa Romeo Club of Canada

 

Got some pretty exciting news about the Alfa Convention last night at the Club Fiat Montreal general assembly but I can't yet reveal it...

The concorso will be held in Little Italy during the Fiat Breakout on ALMA street which will be renamed ALFA street on that day!

 

I just acquired a sweet little Italian from Montreal (Fiat 850 Spider) and need to bring it home to western USA. Can anyone there recommend someone who can facilitate this? I don't want to pay up for enclosed transport, comfortable with open. Also need it moved through the border, so knowledge/assistsnceneeded here as well. Thanks for any recs.

 

You might get a few leads in this thread:

Thanks B, still looking. TRX does enclosed.

 

Fab, Tell us more! No one reported on the Alfa-Romeo Expo67 reunion and cruise to Montreal.

There were apparently a dozen Montreal

Hi Denis,

Sorry I don't really post or visit fchat much anymore...kind of lost the motivation and the audience in the Canada section aren't really members of my club so we use mostly Social media.

The 2017 Breakout was pretty incredible....100 Alfa Romeos from all over North America as far as Seattle, Florida, etc....thanks to the contribution of Alfa Expo 17.

Was absolutely insane and the weather was with us once again.

 

So cool! Yes, we had a few members of the AROC here in Seattle attend. Looking forward to hearing the "debrief" at our August member meeting. I hope they bring pictures, or publish them in the monthly newsletter.

 

During my meanderings, I came across a local car that was featured in Petrolicous. Happy (lite) reading.
