Default Ferrari of Houston dealership pics: F40, 612, 575M, etc

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!

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.











A nice M3:

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

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

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.
