    I was in Houston on business the other day and stopped in to see FOH for a half hour or so since I had never been there.

    Joe Maniaci was kind enough to give me a complete tour of the place, including the race shop where they keep a few cliente corso formula 1 cars. He was very generous with his time and also with lots of interesting information about the cars etc.

    It was a great way to get an enjoyable business trip Ferrari fix and to meet a nice representative and definite Ferrari enthusiast.

    Thank you Joe!

    I was there a few years ago. I agree they have a great staff, very nice and knowlegable.

    Texas!
    Now I'm pissed. You come to Houston and don't let me know! Because I'm 50 miles out of town, I probably couldn't have made it anyway, but that's not the point!

    PS Yeah, for a washed up motorcycle salesman turned Ferrari slut, Joe ain't bad. :)

    So what, you can't drop a note to a fellow 400 guy who lives just down the expressway? Who owns a winery, who could have plied you with free wine for the trip home? Oh excuuuuuuse me! Guess you're just too busy for us peons. (did I spell that right?)
    Back to the bashing.....
    So thanks a lot, I know where I stand now.

    Cool place though isn't it?
