thats impressive but if he was going to spend 12 years making it why not make it full scale so he can actually drive it…

valves and even working gearbox! wow…

The only chemical reaction your going to get based on quantity of materials is more reaction. The reactions don’t work differently. And the only “Chemical” reactions in the entire car is the combustion process and the catalytic converter If he made a scaled down version of a catalytic converter I would be greatly impressed not that I’m not already what he did is simply astounding. but if he made everything to scale then fluids should be able to work to scale too

How does everything still work the same when scaled down? Aren’t there certain chemical reactions that work differently depending on quantity of materials?

Couldn’t a small tree monkey drive that? It’s the coolest thing ive ever seen.

Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant.

Yes, superallye, that’s how it affected me and it still does near 10 years later. I still just can’t quite get my mind round it !
If you look at the high quality shots and story on the craftsmanship museum site which show the real appearance and details it is even more mind blowing.

I’m speechless!

It is the craftsmanship museum site that you can see clear detail shots and all the facts. There you can see just how unbelievably beautiful it is.
It amazes me as much now as it did 10 years ago when I first saw it.

Yes, mustangphil, had some close up shots and specs of this – it’s on the net somewhere. Trans is exact – straight cut gears dog clutches, Dry sump system, Tacho is cable drive as original, headlamp lenses exact from etched dies, he learnt to work glass to make them, learnt to mold rubber to make the tyres and other components.
Many thousands of pounds ? – hundreds of thousands. And dead right about Ferrari , if they haven’t already they should offer to purchase or support future work.

Its a shame guy like him will probably never have the real thing and some rich assholes will drive it without respect for it..

He shouldn’t have to sell it. At this point if he wants to build another one, Ferrari should sponsor it…
January 11th, 2009 at 3:33 am
who would sell that? no matter how desperate
January 11th, 2009 at 6:54 am
ferrari should buy it off him, that model is as priceless as the real car. good on him!
January 11th, 2009 at 4:33 pm

January 12th, 2009 at 3:45 am
wow amazing but why doesn’t he just make a full size one haha!! that would be mint!!
January 15th, 2009 at 1:02 pm

January 17th, 2009 at 9:21 am
slap a raido and put that on the track please
January 18th, 2009 at 5:14 pm
One HELL of a kind!!! Amazing!! Speechless!!
January 23rd, 2009 at 1:28 am
That kind of dedication, Ferrari would do good to hire him.
January 23rd, 2009 at 9:24 pm
Dont attempt that. I already did,;)
