HOU Ferrari and Exotic Spotters

Friday, spotted a very nice red/tan 355 spider parked at a shopping center in The Woodlands.

Saturday mid afternoon near Hempstead spotted a red F430 on 290 headed towards Houston.

 

Well out on West 34th Street, between Ella and Sheperd, someone had a yellow/black 360 with black wheels for a cruise....

He turned around at Golf and headed east back past the Lutheran High School..

New owner or the International Shipping Company playing with the goods???

 

Even with our screwy weather over the past week, I still managed to spot a few while out and about here in The Woodlands.

-Dark colored Maserati GranTurismo on Woodlands Parkway at Terramont Dr.

-Dark green Aston Martin DBS on Woodlands Parkway at Carton Woods

-White Aston Martin Vantage Roadster on East Panther Creek at Glen Loch (Only saw it for a split second so wasn't 100% sure if it was a Vantage or not)

-This afternoon, spotted a nice red 430 at residence in East Shore

 

Yah I have been seeing quite a few Maserati's lately and two days ago parked next to a grigio touring colored GranTurismo, simply beautiful it was.

 

F40 at Buffalo Speedway and 59 yesterday around noon.

 

I was in my 348 on Woodlands Pkwy on Saturday afternoon and happened to encounter a nice red 430 Spider - we shared a friendly wave.

 

SLR yesterday on Westeimer and a CLK63 AMG off of Tanglewild in my doctors parking lot.

 

You lucky dog!!

 

Spotted a black Maserati GranTurismo a few cars in front of me on Woodlands Parkway while heading into work this morning. Not only did it have quite the nice sound, while getting a closer look, I saw what appeared to be some sort of sticker or emblem on the back that resembled a dead skeletonized prancing horse. Was quite funny actually.

 

I think that would be the guy that owns Valobras isn't it? I have heard that name thrown around here associated with the sticker, it is on a couple of other cars he owns. I may be wrong and getting my names and cars mixed up though.

 

He's an associate of Franco's....I think Franco owns Valobra's.......LOL!

I've seen the skeleton Rampante on several cars...

 

This is probably the one that you spotted:

Yep Angel, that's the one. I couldn't get a good look at the driver; at first I though he was a guy I know here in The Woodlands named Maurizio M. But I'm pretty certain he keeps Ferraris only and not Maseratis. It's been awhile since I've seen him so who knows.
That sticker is cool looking regardless....
Thanks for the pictures.

 

Sorry for the bad photo from my phone, but it is called a "Pirate Pony". I have one on the back of one of my cars for fun more than anything else.

Cool picture, thanks for sharing....

 

Put it on for fun for the Highland Village show and have left it on....

 

Angel, in taking a moment to look at the rest of your pictures, I see that the fellow driving the maserati in the second picture is indeed the guy I know here in The Woodlands, Maurizio Maranghi. Looks like he has one of his 5 little boys in the passenger seat as well. Although I know he has a black 430 and also at one time owned a black 599, I wasn't sure he had any maseratis. Must be relatively new. I talked to his wife briefly this morning and when asked about the which cars he has now...she laughed and said I was speaking a foreign language when it came to her and the cars.
When he gets back in town and the weather gets nicer...I'll swing by and gets some good pictures of what he now has.

 

Is he the guy with the black Scuderia that lives in Indian Springs? I have been behind that car a million times on Woodlands parkway on my way to 24 hr.

 

Yes, that is him. I don't want to post which neighborhood he lives in for obvious reasons but he is out near Flintridge and Forestgate. Nice guy.

 

Yellow Lamborghini Gallardo heading down Woodlands Parkway yesterday afternoon. Funny to see the gal behind the wheel driving it hard like she was on a track....

 

Short vid of Ford Gt's leaving Uptown Park yesterday morning:

Very cool

 

Is his exhaust aftermarket on that car? It is extremely loud to be all stock.

 

I know this is the car spotting section but I don't want to start a thread for this. I was looking at youtube and found someone that has been using my videos. He doesn't use the whole thing but he cuts out half of the video's to use as his own.
These are all mine:

Maybe I should just ignore it but I don't really appreciate getting my vids stolen. I tried posting on his page but it says that the comments need to get approved so I doubt they will end up on his page lol. So any ideas as to what I should do? Or should I just ignore it?
