    Do we have any kind of a "list" of gatherings of sports/fun/classic and most importantly Ferraris and their owners? I am thinking specifically Western Washington. I would love to know of some gatherings such as a "cars and coffee" close by. Anyone know? Do I need to start one? ;)

    E@RTC takes a break in the winter and generally starts up again in late February. Stay tuned here because Tom or Vic usually post about this gathering.

    I just don't know if I have the patience to wait that long! Sounds fun though. Anyone wanting to get together for a drive let me know!

    I noticed your website and the cars that you have for sale. Do you have any affiliation with the old "Grand Prix Motors" in Seattle? They were the former Ferrari dealer that was sold and is now Ferrari Maserati of Seattle.

    What website did you look at? Mine is gpmotorsllc.com. But my dealership is called Grand Prix Motors, LLC. Anyhow, no unfortunately, no affiliation to Ferrari of Seattle, formerly Grand Prix Motors. There is however another Grand Prix Motors down in Portland area, but they may spell it differently. Sometimes at the auto auctions they get us confused!

    We used to have Grand Prix Imports/Lamborghini Portland in Wilsonville, but they closed when the crash hit. RTGT is moving to their old space.

    Sounds good! I am looking forward to meeting more F-Chatters too! February will be here before we know it... now to find some different wheels/tires so the Mondial can make it there!

    Wow, I can't beleive we are only a few weeks away from E@RTC starting up again. The mild winter weather through December had me driving several times a week so that made the time pass fairly quick. Now I'm just concerned about all the salt laid down over the past week :O/

    The salt and sand is nasty. I was going to go for a cruise today but first walked to the grocery store. We need a lot more rain to wash this away.

    It really is bad. No salt around here, but plenty of sand and a few residual snow spots. I was planning on driving the Mondial up to my shop (45 min drive) and putting it in the garage there, but don't really want to drive it in the yuck. Driving our Subaru was bad enough hearing all the junk hitting the sides and the rock which hit our windshield. Shutters.

    The sand and salt is brutal in Bellevue and now black ice. Sure hope tomorrow's storm is just rain which should wash everything away.

    I drove the Ferrari today. The skies opened up here at it was actually a beautiful drive! I am going to give it a mini detail and park it in the shop now until a nicer day then go for a nice drive! We'll see how long I last with it in the garage...

    Today once I got off my road I could avoid the sand pretty well. And for the most part the roads were dry up in these parts.

    You are in Anacortes too! That is convenient. Maybe a Chuckanut run would be fun... I don't know yet if my day is spoken for either, but I know driving a Ferrari up Chuckanut would be my preference!

    Well, turns out I'll be working tomorrow... shame too as it should likely be a beautiful day. I drove the Mondial home tonight to enjoy this weather!
