I took a little trip to Houston this weekend, and we drove down to the Ferrari of Houston dealer on Friday afternoon. I had my pocket camera with me, and luckily my friend had decent camera with him as well. Too bad I didn't have our good camera, but at least I had a camera. ;) I was pretty limited in the number of pics I could take, small memory card on my friend's camera, and only 15 pics or so on mine, so I didn't get as many pics as I would have liked, oh well.

I didn't really know what to expect, but I was pretty surprised by the extent of the dealership. It was large, with two showrooms and at least three separate garages. Very cool. 8)

They had quite a stock of Ferraris; F40GTE, 3 575Ms, 550 Barchetta, 512BBi, 275GTB, many Maseratis, 2 360CS, around 8 standard 360s, 2 355s, 348, a beautiful 512 (I can't believe I didn't get a picture of it!) and my first 612! :D

The 612 is amazing in person, from far away I thought it was a 456 for a second. Its large, but the lines do an excellent job of concealing the size. It was parked right up against that fence so I couldn't get any good pics of the front, but I really do like the look of it. Always good to see the Challenge 360s & 355s. :D

Wow the F40 LM makes me piss my pants. It's so amazing. Another 612 in red. They seem to be not that rare after all :D

Great dealership, too bad you weren't able to take lots of pics. Let this be a lesson for your next visit to it. Take a big memory card with you and enough batteries :D

That's not an LM, but a GTE.

Lovely F40!
Have to admit I can't share the love of the Scaglietti. Too big by far.

I hope you have closer shots of the 275 on your friend's camera and we get to see it soon!

I wasn't sure about the F40, thanks salegosse.

Sorry irrational_i, those are all the pictures I took, both my camera and my friend's camera's pics are mixed in there.
