    The Ferrari Club of South Texas had a little lunch gathering today. We had a 40% chance of showers and thunderstorms but a few Ferraris and Maseratis still showed up.

    Great shots Mike!

    Another 599 down South? I dig the black. But the doc's lower front fascia grill blends in with the paint. Is it black or paint matched?

    Congratulations to its owner on the completion (from what I understand).
    Very nice pictures Mike! What would you consider to be perfect shooting weather?

    Thanks!
    I guess it would all depend on what you are photographing and what look you are going for. I like taking photos on overcast days since the light isn't so harsh. I also Like the sunny days with lots of white clouds. Early morning and afternoon light is usually preferred when doing automotive photography.

    Black anodized from factory. No idea what they charged for it. They liked it, but still not an "option". Makes front end look like Shark 2.0. Pulls character line off rear fender that goes through outside grille, through to other side. Chrome pulls line off hood, pinches front end to my eye. Bob's tailpipes much cleaner than mine too. Hmmmmm. ;)
    Like the Hazzard Ferrari sticker. Need License frames.

    Thanks! For sure..! The chrome grille looks so out of place. I like the way the cavallino looks like it's floating on your car.

    BTW, sounds nice at WOT. :)

    Lovely pics Mike. My faves are the Silverstone 599 and the DoH 348. Wes has put a lot of effort into making that a stunning car. I love the alcantara interior, the minimalistic switches. Don't forget we need to see a pic of Wes leaping inside the car thru the window.

    Thanks!
    The 599 isn't Silverstone, it's a custom color from the factory.
    I'm going to get some better pics of the 348 when Wes and I both have more time. It was hard to get some decent pics in that garage. I had to use my flash and some of the decals are reflective so the flash bounces right back.
    I agree, the layout of the switches is one of my favorite details. It's also neat that he put the cold suit system in the boot so that passengers can also ride along.

    good pics Mike, 348 pics turned out better than I thought.


    Both 599's look great, I like the individuality in the "grey" one, that means a lot to weirdos like me. The black one is perfectly factory optioned though, love the carbon and yellow.

    Thanks Wes!
    The cavallino is so subtle in person but it jumps off the car in the pics. The car turned out great and the horn is just the coolest damn thing I've ever heard! :)

    Dukes is hysterical. Nice interior for race car. Wes prob going to take a date as navigator. We really do need FoHC license plate frames. Like the Mini-me too.
    Bob's new 599 is really nice, all 599's are, and it is in dark color, so it catches the same curves my car does. Bob said same things I have- car is amazingly useable, a real car. No diss, I just enjoyed seeing a dark car next to mine to notice my obsessive details. Need to get a pic of mine next to Silverstone so people understand the difference. Anybody have one handy?
