    Are there any Ferraris in the San Jose or Los Gatos area? I would like to setup a little gathering in Los Gatos sometime in the near future. Preferably at a popular Starbucks location. If anyone else has any suggestions or are interested in attending you are free to chime in. The weather is looking great. This would be a great opportunity to kind of interact with some old and new comers. If there is time left we can maybe squeeze in a little cruise. What do you guys think?

    Absolutely... Count me in. A couple months back, we met in a parking lot (I think there was a Starbucks nearby, as well!) in Saratoga. I think it was the "main" shopping center there between "downtown" Saratoga and 85 along Sunnyvale-Saratoga Rd. We had a good turnout, too - shouldn't be hard to replicate it again.

    BTW - fill out your profile so we know more about ya'! :)

    This would be a great idea. Santana row has a Petes and a Starbucks, and a large parking lot all the way in the back. I have been there on a Saturday and Sunday morning, almost empty. Dan

    Great idea!
    I also vote for Santana Row - nice large empty parking lot in the back near Petes coffee (we used a couple of times to meet with other Fchat members and worked out really great).

    Santana Row is very close to my house... That sounds like a perfect location for a GTG. This Sat. should be fine!

    Hey guys, I'm new to the San Jose Ferrari scene. I have a 1980 308 GTSi. Do you guys hang out with the older cars also, or is it mostly the new gen Fcars?

    Here's the map of Santana Row with Peet's Coffee marked. Which parking lot did we want to meet up in?

    Parking lot X is towards the "back", which is the nicest in my opinion. Some shade, and right off the main drag.

    Parking lot Y is actually a two story parking structure, bzzzt. No.

    Parking lot Z faces Winchester Blvd. It's easy to spot from the street, and will no doubt cause a lot of commotion on Winchester when they see us meet up :D

    Awesome....Sat morning works for me! I am still doing a little bit of work on her, but hopefully she will make it with out trouble.
    I am having a slight hesitation around 2800 RPM. Below and above is fine....I have replaced just about everything except the TDC sensors and injectors. That will be next, probably on Sunday.

    E-mail your buddies. Convince them it's a "must do" on Saturday morning :)
