saw an Enzo today!!!
Parked at someone's house in a parralel street to kirby (river oaks).
The guy seems to always have the latest ferrari. Incredible. Every Saturday morning I run and pass in front of his house. 2 years ago he had a 550 barchetta and a 360 (with some kind of cheezy "boys' scout" sticers in the back). Then he had a 360 spider, then a 575, and now the Enzo: CRAZY, I tell you!!!! On top of it, a Cayenne and a 500SL are his others cars.
I may stop by one Saturday and ask him if I can check it out.

Kelly,

I believe that one lives down the street from a friend of mine. In the neighborhood Brook Forest - sound familiar?

I haven't seen it personally, but my friend says it's a beautiful car! Good luck on the buy!

On Saturday afternoon, I saw a red 360 on Westheimer parked at the Cingular Wireless store.

Later I saw a 288 going down the 610 service road past Memorial. What a sweet car...

Hopefully he wasn't stalking me the last two nights - went home through Friendswood in the 308 the last couple of nights. Was going through the back roads of Pearland and passed a couple of kids on bikes. As I'm passing one of the kids suffers a bit of whiplast and screams "Cool. Did you see that?"

Haven't seen any 360s down in Clear Lake myself. Just 328, 348, TR and my 308.

Will, wonder if we saw the same car. The black 328 I saw riding my bike last month was actually a black 348ts. Didn't get a good glimpse last time as I was focusing on the road ahead. Saw the car during "rush hour" in my neighborhood (Silverlake) yesterday afternoon. That places at least 2 Ferraris in my 'hood - mine and his. Also caught a Viper, NSX, and Porsche 550 replica in there as well.

The World's Fastest Art Car, as shown in Cavallino #133 was #51/250 in the Art Car Parade last Saturday thru downtown, benefiting the Orange Show Foundation.
Only about 250,000 people there.
Covered by several TV stations, we were featured on the tape, but we went by TOO FAST for an interview!

Was playing hookey from work today and spotted a few more Ferraris inside the loop - yellow TR headed west on Westpark, silver 360 Spider driving into the Mercedes dealer on 59/Wesleyan (was there checking out the Vipers) and a red 360 coupe parked at the dealer. All spotted in a 10 minute span.

Saw a dark colored 360 out front of Sullivan's on Westheimer last night.

Lots of nice cars at the Richmond Arms for the TOAD club. I think there were 6 Lotuses, an NSX, Aston Martin, some American muscle, Mini's, Morgans, etc. Although it's sort of a British theme, Italians are welcome to join in. There were a even a few Ducati's there.

edgar,

what you saw was a car show being put on by the porsche club. they extended a special invite to the ferrari club to display vehicles and even gave out awards.

the car you bought is a very solid car. i have bought several cars from howard over the years. that car has been sold by him several times and has been very well maintained. for the price he was asking, it was a very good buy. if you paid less than the asking price, even more of a good buy.

Yes, the TR I got was from Memorial One. Thats also where I got my first Porsche - the Porsche experience was great, I'll let you know how it goes with the TR.

I too saw enough P-cars and F-cars to go into overload. It was at the I-10/610 movie theater on Sunday. I got there by luck... not enough time!!!! I need to know how to keep up with these events so I can go there with more time to hang out. Suggestions?

One of those magical moments at lunch today. Drove the 308 to work and upon leaving the "compound" I saw a red 328 go through the intersection. Pulled up right behind at the next light. It was a nice family reunion.

'87 Red & Tan; 18" wheels; Tubi exhaust.

It was nice getting the car out, but its not performing right. The car feels like its lagging and having difficulty getting fuel. I need to troubleshoot to see if all the cylinders are firing right, and that it has good fuel flow.

Its only been a month... let the fun begin!

Hey guys, that was me in the TR a few weeks ago. I just got the car. Still breaking it in and getting the initial itch out of my system. Today is not the greatest day, but I think I need to take the car out this afternoon. I'll be in the Silverlake and Clear Lake area.

I hope to see you around...

I've seen a black what I think (was riding my road bike and concentrating on the road rather than the car) is a 328 in my neighborhood (Silverlake) a few times.

360 going down Allen Parkway 2 weeks ago. Another parked at the Edwards Cinema off 59.

TR heading south on 288 3 weeks ago.

308 in my garage.
