Check this out, it's madness.

Guy had to sell his Ford Mustang, so he made another, full sized one. Out of paper. And an inkjet printer......

As you do.








Imagine how much that cost in ink cartridges!!

Probably cost about as much as getting another second hand one.

The one thing in that article that has infuriated me is that he 'had to sell his car to buy a diamond engagement ring'. How very sad.


"According to Brand, the car was made using a mixture of old photographs and memories, with no access to dimensions or technical drawings."

My Father can do stuff like this with aircraft. Very clever. 

I hope there's no dodgy electrics. A fire could be disastrous...

Fire hazard.



You really think a woman is enough to sell your P & J over?
I think I'd be insulted. And forever guilty. Maybe that was his plan, she owes him now.

As an 'Art Installation' it is almost certainly going to be priced at far more than the Mustang.

How did a man who chose this as an acceptable use of his time, find a girlfriend?

And as others have said, it likely worth more then car he sold, so I expect it to be for sale any time soon to pay for the wedding hehe

There are many, many women who would be delighted that there man did this - fortunately my OH isn't one of them either.
