    Black 512bbi this morning on Westhiemer & Kirkwood. Sweet to see that it's being driven & not trapped as a garage queen.

    I see an Enzo everyday in the River Oaks area. If you go down Troon Rd. (parallel to Kirby) there is one house that is gated (only one on the street) there is always an enzo just parked outside, not even in the garage, as well as a 360 modena. Owner used to have an F50 as well as a Testerossa before he totalled it.

    I saw a black 512 BBi at Academy yesterday on Beltway 8 in Pasadena. Maybe this guy gets around, Will.

    Not exactly Houston, but at TWS this weekend there was Dana's 355 C and 512 BB. Sunday a silver 360 showed up for the DE.

    Damn!!! I've yet to see a Merci in Houston, other then being stationary at MB-Greenway.

    I did happen to see a silver Vanquish the other day at my M5 Precision Driving Experience I did at Reliant Stadium. The owner was a hispanic guy, and was very cool. He gave me a quick spin in the car.....amazing ride....

    Saw 2 360s today

    One in the Blue lot of Reliant stadium during the Texans game today. Was a black/black 360 with TMR as the first 3 characters on the license plate.

    Saw a Cali blue 360 spyder going towards 610 on Fannin right after the football game...

    Saw a red F40 on Shepherd just south of W. Gray at around 5:30 yesterday evening. Despite the traffic, it was being driven rather spiritedly! I heard it about 10 seconds before I saw it!

    Kirby is actually an excellent road now. The part of San Felipe he was on is actually one of the better parts.


    Anyway, also spotted a red 360 w/o a challenge grille. traveling on Richmond toward Wesleyan. Also spotted another z8 on Avalon and River Oaks Blvd. :)

    Saw a whole boat load of Ferraris at the 242 Woodlands Wal Mart Sat night. Also a black Diablo, white 88 countach and one LOUD Blue Diablo. It was cold out there but the Diablo was a fine space heater if you stood behind the exhaust.

    What you saw was the Houston-import weekly car meet. Luigi & Ralph made it out there along with Dale. I tried to make it but I was running late. Didn't make it until 9pm when everyone left. Caught up to them later at the "extreme pinball palace," it was really great see them again.

    Thanks Luigi.

    Saw a 456 last night in West U.

    Also, is it me, or is the 360 at Park Place Mercedes a strange color?

    ** Could be Paul Frame's house. Is it near the country club on the left? He has owned numerous Ferraris and surely he would overlook the Enzo.

    I can't believe I missed that! I was going to go but turnout has seemed light lately so I stayed home. Hopefully they will be back out next weekend.

    Nope, not Paul's place. I know Paul has a yellow F50. The house I'm referring to is the Jamail's. It's on Troon.
