    Hi all,

    I'm curious if there exists or is interest in a Saturday morning brunch/drive in OC (roughly Irvine/Newport area). I've been watching a few forums and am a member of FCA and haven't quite found what I'm looking for. Maybe I've missed it.

    If something like this exists, let me know, I'd love to join.

    If not, is anyone interested in setting something like this up?

    Thanks

    It would be nice to see Ferrari owners form a local OC group of Ferrari only meets. I am a member of FCA and interested.

    Hey Haig, my friend was just talking about forming something like that. He knows the owner at Bakers & Baristas in Cerritos and they would be willing to host the group on a Sat or Sun morning. It will NOT be a C&C but a local group of Ferrari owners getting together to network, talk cars, and then go for a drive.

    Sounds great but I prefer enjoying our coastline instead. Why go inland if your don't have to. Besides, the roads and parking is a big issue when you have a group. just my 2 cents.

    There is a nice group of Ferrari owners starting to consistently come to Supercars by the Sea once a month in HB. You could always use that as a starting point and go from there (Its a Sunday however).

    Thanks for the referral to Supercars by the Sea. I look forward to checking that out.

    But my question still remains, who else is interested in cruising together on weekends? @Testarossa Lover is clearly in. Who else?

    Lets pick an upscale restaurant to go to, maybe head south to San Diego or north to Malibu? I love to see Ferrari line-up on the roads.

    1st saturday each month, a small group of OC members of FCA meet up with a hard core faction of the LA FCA up in Beverly Glen, in West LA, then usually 300 miles round trip into the way back mountains above LA or Ojai, PM if interested in a future event. I guarantee you will get a few rock chips, add a bunch of miles and a memories you will never forget.

    I'm down for any good restaurant, @Testarossa Lover ! And I drive an F430. I also plan on going to Supercars by the Sea this coming Sunday. Going to invite my friend with his brand new AMG GT. @davidiaz let me know if you can make this one. We could meet up ahead of time.

    Thanks sparetireless, will PM.

    My F430 is in the shop this week reverting back to stock Exhaust system. I am not sure if it will be ready in time.

    Great food and coffee but any parking lot in Cerritos is garbage. Especially that plaza. Bottleneck entrance and exit and the spots are tight and close together. Not to mention careless oblivious old Asian drivers. I lived there and I’d avoid Cerritos plazas in anything short of a beater Tacoma

    Thanks Mike, I’ll let you know when we all meet again. We met last Sat at 8:30am and left at 10:30am before the crowd arrived and went for a drive down the coast. I agree with the others that the parking is tight there if you park anywhere else but the front. Our friends with non F-Cars are nice enough to park on each end so no door dings for us and the owner reserves the front spots for us. BTW – I have the red F430 Spider.
