    Hello everyone. I finally pulled the trigger on a 458. Any locals around portland area (I’m in happy valley). I know Seattle has a great group up there. Would be great to meet some of the local guys around here. I have a good buddy with a lambo and another 5 people just buying lambos in the last month lol. The Ferraris are out numbered.

    Northwest Region Ferrari Club of America has a Portland/Vancouver chapter with many Ferrari owners - of all types (cars and owners). nwrfca.org is the website. I'm a senior citizen with an F430 in Vancouver. Congrats on your 458!

    Thanks guys. I’ll check out that site. Age is just a number ;). Personally I’m 36, been into these types of cars for 10 years or so, I’ve been the young guy, old guy, it’s all the same. Good company is good company. Gona stop by buddies with a lambo evo now who is 50. If anyone around here gets out for the occasional cruise feel free to message me here or on Instagram @tallguyexotics

    Lots of local Ferrari owners. I agree with wiley355 and get hooked up with the local Ferrari club. Visit Ron Tonkin Gran Turismo in Wilsonville.

    There's a group of Ferrari owners that do this in the summer. Just join the Portland Ferrari club, I get texts inviting me on drives all the time. Then there's also the club drives.

    Ferrari Club of America can be joined by going to the website at https://ferrariclubofamerica.org/and choosing the Join Now button on the ribbon at the top of the page. The Portland/Vancouver Chapter is one of four in the Northwest Region of the FCA; you should be able to indicate Northwest Region and Portland/Vancouver Chapter as your respective region and chapter of choice during the signup process. Annual membership is currently $175, and comes with "perks" you can find information about on the website.

    Portland/Vancouver Chapter has multiple social and driving activities every year, and any FCA activities nationwide are open to all members, regardless of one's "home" region or chapter. The Seattle area Puget Sound Chapter has multiple events (driving and social) every year. The smaller Inland Empire Chapter (Spokane area) and Central Oregon Chapter (Bend area) organize activities as well, including some great drives.

    Our local Portland/Vancouver Chapter has short chapter meetings monthly, at Langer's in Sherwood, immediately following the large independent Portland Cars and Coffee event (which is held every Saturday). Our meeting this month is this coming Saturday, February 11. We also have some kind of dinner outing most months--this month it's on February 18, in honor of Enzo Ferrari's birthday anniversary--as well as smaller impromptu "meet up and drive somewhere" gatherings of smaller groups. The latter aren't official Ferrari Club events, and may include non-member enthusiasts.

    I suspect you would enjoy and benefit from joining FCA, and I hope you'll give it a try!

    That sounds really fun. My issue is I travel wayyyy too much for work so when I can get out for a decent weekend I’m in. Between work, wife and a 4 year old and 3 month old, time is scarce. Wasn’t sure if ppls here just meet up randomly but sounds like most are part of the FCA. A bunch of friends are doing cars n coffee tomorrow but I caught a cold :/. Have to check back here in the comming weeks/months :).

    I need to get out to the Langers cars & coffee-- I used to go pretty regularly to the one at World of Speed, but for whatever reason I have never gotten around to going to Langers.

    I would like to see something get started at the Skyline Restaurant, as they are open Saturday mornings and there is quite a bit of space. Avants (a club you might be interested in joining) had an event there last weekend, but I was out of town.

    Avants is at www.avants.com. They do lots of stuff.

    I was actually there last week, well the meet up spot that was split at 503 motoring and dons house. I was about to roll up and had an unexpected situation come up right before we rolled out. The wife even took her little Hyundai just so we could all get out.

    Isnt that right in your backyard? To be fair I’ve only gone one time. The one time I went I took the R8 and while I appreciated the organized event, I disliked how the organizers acted like cops. There was a ton of open spots but they were directing me basically to the mud in my R8. Haven’t been back since lol. Combo of just busy with work and having the kids.

    I grew up within walking distance of the Skyline, and my brother (who is the big car collector in the family) lives in our old family house to this day.

    He was out of town last weekend, or I'm sure he would have been there as well.

    I have a 2004 red Modena 360. F1. She’s currently in the shop to de-sticky parts. Taking advantage of the current winter season to address. Hoping the car will be ready end of March for a drive during a rain break.

    I got ppf so I drive in any weather. First drive in my F430 was in snow coming back from Ron Tonkin. First drive in my other Ferraris was rain. First drive in the EVO was in the snow to Hood River.
