    Yesterday was another fantastic event coordinated by Don Pierce and Guiseppe Risi. This was the annual brunch where Ferrari of Houston throw open their showroom, road and race service shops, repair shops. Possibly my favorite event on the FCA Houston calendar - (well actually it comes second after the track event :) )

    We had a lot of people - I am guessing about 30-40 cars and 80 people.

    On with the pictures ...

    Oh wow, excellent photos. I haven't been to a FoH tour since 2003. Looks like the black Boxer is still there. Interesting note on the F2000 car, I thought when ever they were privately sold they cannot have the Marlboro logos displayed on the car under contractual agreement, is that correct?

    Thanks for the photos. When I was training there, we hosted the first Houston chapter open house. I met a lot of real good people. I was there for about four months before coming to the store in Dallas. My Ferrari time was the most enjoyable period of my life. I really miss these types of events and the people involved in them. Thank you for sharing them with us.

    Sorry we missed it - oh well - really wished I was at Mosport. I have dibs on the 333sp on the wall will Allan's signature - that would be my ultimate piece! nice yellow sp.

    They need to sked this when it doesn't conflict with an ALMS race.

    You would drive down to Houston for this when you are too busy traveling the world to even come to DFW events? :D

    Yep, it's only about 3 hours +/- and there's some really great folks that work for Guiseppe that we enjoy seeing and that was Sophia's home. But still, Mosport was the place to be over the weekend - Risi 1-2 in GT2. Best race of the weekend!

    The Boxer is part of Risi's collection. They'll probably always be there.

    Yes to the F40 and 275 GTB. The Enzo is back in the shop and one of our Chapter members may have brought it in for the day.

    I have a few taken a couple years earlier. I was quite happy with the way they turned out. I believe I posted them in the F40 photo thread elsewhere on fchat. Never mind, I will post them later when I get back home next weekend.
