It's not every day to get behind the wheel of a Ferrari F40, let alone one that previously belonged to a close friend and that I drove on a different continent! I'm with ‪@thegentlemansgarage_‬ in Texas to be reunited with F40 BLU and take it for a spin. What a collection, and what an epic car!
I love a car with a story, and this particular example has lived on 3 different continents, having been in Japan and become a white Liberty Walk car, before it was purchased 10 years ago by my friend ‪@sammooresphoto‬ who was responsible for repainting it at Zanassi in Porsche Aqua Blue to match his 997.2 GT3 RS. I joined Sam for the last drive in the car before he sold it a few years ago, and now we're back as it belongs to Louis out in Houston, Texas.
Louis' enthusiasm for the car is unbelievable, and rightly so, it's a special machine and will continue to be used and enjoyed going forwards. Today we'll have a catch up about it, take a look around, and then get out on the road for a run to be reminded quite how epic it is!
Special thanks to Louis and Anthony from ‪@thegentlemansgarage_‬:

Louis is such a stand up gent - you can tell he's passionate about every car in his collection. Thanks for featuring him Tim!

What makes this collection special is Louis. He is the consummate buisness man. He is charismatic, eloquent, enthusiastic and he is an excellent storyteller. The fact he actually drives his cars is icing on the cake.

@BaxterretxaB Месяц назад

He told the same story several different times from the front end being floaty to him being nervous to not meet his hero car.

I appreciate the fact he drives all his cars and doesn’t let them sit. That’s amazing 🙏🏼

@innerlightfilms Месяц назад

Reminds me of the experience I have behind the wheel of my 93 ZR-1 Corvette. Its such a raw, visceral feeling to pilot it down the road and around curves. The newer Corvettes baby their drivers too much. Also, the sound of the LT-5 is blissful. Hardly ever turn on the radio.

@lttlejordan23 Месяц назад

It's always great to see enthusiastic owners that actually drive their cars! Of course the car is an investment, but it deserves to be driven. So I am glad F40 BLU landed with an owner that treats it well, but stretches its legs regularly 👌

@KrisFLton Месяц назад

So good to see 1) an F40 being driven and 2) an owner SO excited by it, even when he has many other epic cars… ❤

The best car ever made!! Amazing spec! The F40 and Especialy the LM version and the 87 models, are dreams!! Remembering that the first units made in 87 "around the first 20 to 25 units" what few people know is that they are stronger and lighter than those produced later! Great content as always!

This is a jewel on wheels and it is a privilege to see this specific car have being using around. Thanks @Tim and @thegentlemansgarage_ for this incredible opportunity to see this car again. What a dream.

More epic content Tim! Our only question is he seeking put a F50 for the collection? A big outlay of cash but well worth it because it will be driven In this collection! And another reason to return in the future to drive the epic F50! Besides a 288 gto the F50 would be the only real missing pieces in this collection ! Thank you!

@The_whit3_rav3n Месяц назад

I’ve never found F40s attractive until the first time I saw this on your channel with the past owner. The color changes everything. The lines look so much better than in red. It literally looks like a different design but just with paint. It looks amazing. So I guess you could say I at least like 1 F40.

I completely agree. I've never been a big fan either, but this one in blue is just stunning.

@kavinskysmith4094 Месяц назад

you know I gotta say I'm happy for the guy, and if he's looking for another car that offers that similar experence, just with a much smoother power delivery and tone, he should go look at a miura, like one of the early early P400's, mind you they are right basket cases, and really need to be sorted to drive right, and the speculators have sabotaged the market so you cant get fair value prices anymore, like the SV's tops should be going for what the P400 goes for, but their unique turbine smooth go carts, but you really have to look after them with battery disconnects and fire extinguishers given how experemental they were,
