Been around years this story IIRC.

But i'm not going down repost alley as I like what he's done

Not sure on the fuel tank being in the front

[qube_TA]

That's a bit nuts.

I think he was Joseph Fritzl's next door neighbour.

One drunken "Lets have a best basement project competition" comment, and the rest is history.

Huh, that's nothing. I'm building a full size replica of the Queen Mary in my attic...

What a nutter. Very pic heavy for iPhone, in one pic it looks like its made of wood but then a sort of space frame in another. What's going on there?

The wood was a template?

Good replica though and yes a few years old now

The wood frame is used to shape the bodywork.

Wood first because it's cheaper to mess up. Then you measure off the wood and cast in metal. If it works in wood, it works in metal.

Cheers, it does look very good.

That is truely bonkers! Nice job.

Love it, when it comes out via the digger.

[cragswinter]

that is superb! plus, having been under a real one on a four post lift this one actually looks better!


i even like the colour

[ApexJimi]

Thanks for posting this, I hadn't seen it before.

Absolutely bonkers! (in a very very good way)

Rumour has it he's a lorry driver who won the plans to build his own Lambo!

[LukeSi]

What are the chances he made his basement into a garage at the same time?



Supporting frame up and a Garage door and you have the ultimate underground garage at home

Good point, I think he'd be silly not too.

[ThomDean]

Incredible engineering but I think he should have left the actual Lambo badges off it - it's not a Lamborghini, it's a replica. But, it's his money and his car so who am I to comment.

At the risk of revealing my ignorance, are the original cars a steel spaceframe like that? Or a monocoque?

The woman or the boat?

I posted this in the Viper forum a while back

Worth taking a look as another member posted an additional link.
