Dunno if this has been posted before - just found the link on another site. Some guy has build a complete *working* scale model of a Ferrari. Working engine, gearbox, the whole lot. Took him 15 years to build. Insane...

Sounds like Jeremy Clarkson interviewing. Anyone know what program this was taken from?

This man is, I am afraid, a genius, and a testament to all of us. He shows his pure devotion to the word 'pistonhead'.

I wish I was like him - I am just proud watching that video, and knowing probably how excited Jeremy was too that someone cared enough to spend so much time on something so perfect.

Now if he could only do the same for a nice TVR...

Was it the 'Super Machines' programme or something that he did?
