Highland Village Ferrari Festival

The Houston chapter of the Ferrari Club of America presented the Highland Village Ferrari Festival today resulting in even more of a log jam on Westheimer than the regularly scheduled crappy Sunday afternoon traffic. The event featured 20+ Ferraris (and one Maserati) on display with daydreaming music provided by a jazz trio.

The Italian sports car maker was well represented by the fleet of automobiles on hand. Attendees could drool on F-40 (pictured above), the latest production model - the 599 GTB Fiorano, or finely preserved antiques like the 1951 340 America, one of only 23 produced. Kids and adults seemed to agree that the ENZO was the best in show. It's nice and all, but the 308 GTB evokes memories of Thomas Magnum's 308 GTS. And who doesn't want to be Magnum?
