There are at least 5-6 Forum members (a couple that have recently faded away) that live in what is called the Tri Valley Area; Pleasanton, Dublin, San Ramon, Danville and Alamo, all adjoining towns. A couple of us even live in the same town. And I know there are a lot more F Types than that around here. I saw one in the body shop recently that was from here having it's front end replaced after a run-in with a deer, it did a LOT of damage.

I recently drove my V8-S from North Carolina to Maine and saw no F-Types on the road.
I pulled into the NAPA store here in Wiscasset, Maine last Friday to get some car shampoo to remove the road trip bugs and by chance the only other car in the parking lot was a reverse image of my 2014 white V8-S convertible. What are the odds of seeing a black 2014 V8-S vert in the same parking lot?

Wiscasset you say?


Iconic Red’s Eats.

Don’t be surprised if you see a bunch of F-Types rumbling in and through Wiscasset later this year. Wish I could say more.

Other than welcome to the F-Type forum, ownership, and Maine(?).

Nice photo.
Red's Eats is close by -2 minute walk- here in the historic village. Splitting time between NC and Wiscasset while I renovate/restore an ancient home we bought in the village here. Perhaps I'll hear you all rumble through. The road work improvements and additional lights added in town have made Wis-traffic more tolerable in high season.

Absolutely zero unless the maestro is conducting the band.

I see a couple over and over in this area, maybe there is a local group I should check into this...

+1 on Corvettes. I showed my Testarossa at a local show where my buddy was opening a restaurant; only one ferrari by 6 new corvettes Like a bag of Skittles, all the same but different colors.

I stopped going to cars and coffee events because they're pretty much just Porsches and coffee

I live in AZ as well and see many more new Vettes than I do F Types. I love the look of the new Vette but also due to seeing so many C7's I lost my interest in them. I hope I don't do the same with the C8's.

That said, the F-Type is still a more common sight on the road than others with a 124...
I'm in North Katy and hit the 99 and beltway all the time. I too wonder why these cars are relatively rare to see given the sales volume. Although, on my way back from Louisiana last night I caught up to and passed a white 2016-17 R, so that was neat. We were passing around vehicles in the center lane on the left and right sides at the same time, like twinsies. Not the most safe/ right thing to do but looked really cool as mine is a white 2015 R. There was very little traffic and we were cruising around 80-85. Never really noticed how much I personally am not a fan of the body color rear diffuser or body color rocker panel trim. I like the contrast and feel down low it's an easier piece to get really dirty...

Wonder how many people on these forums are Houston residents with F-Types?
