NEW HOME of F40 BLU! Tracked Down this Legendary Ferrari F40

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_:

Thanks for watching, Tim

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

[thegentlemansgarage_]

Amazing what a small world this is! Glad you both were able to spend some time with us and check out the collection🤝

[stuartlindle]

I have never seen such a genuine passionate American ever. This guy is a one off, a nice passionate petrol head from the otherside of the pond!

[baibureh]

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.

[marul]

Louis is goals for sure, his aura, taste in cars, his fashion sense 😮‍💨 he's definitely living the dream

[nottoospicy]

I can’t get over how passionate and excited Louis just talking about his cars with Tim. It’s always nice to get a glimpse of the inner kid of a successful car guy

[yugotime]

Blue is such a fantastic color on the F40. The red seats just set off the interior perfectly.

[cephasmakuzva]

I love the gentlemans garage channel. Louis is a great dude. Super nice guy and a real car enthusiast.

[jamiegoddard]

So nice to see car collector so passionate and giddy with excitement about owning this absolute dream car. He’s very fortunate but also genuinely loves and drives his cars. They’re not just an appreciating asset to park money or help him show off. This car is definitely in the right hands. 👍🏻

[JaesGarage]

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

[williamrogercummings]

Super to see how excited and electric around the F40 Louis becomes. He deserves this wonderful Ferrari.

[davidevans]

What a charming guy Louis is . A modest and inspiring individual

[greyfox]

I could watch F40 videos all day. Thanks Shmee & Louis

[lttlejordan]

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 👌

[geedee]

The F40 truly is a car with character. Just love how Louis is so passionate about his childhood dream car.🥰🥰

[zarifuzairin]

Louis seems to a very genuine and passionate guy, love hearing his stories passion for cars

[innerlightfilms]

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.

[KrisFLton]

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… ❤

[JWthree]

Seems like a real genuine dude, what a great car!

[nickfrost]

@Shmee150  I am happy to see a car like that go to a man who truly enjoys and appreciates it. Seeing him when he was doing those pulls... I was just waiting for thumper to hop out of the bush on that open road though...
