Take a look at this.... if you've not seen it you won't believe it..

I'd tend to agree Sandman...

I've never put 22,000 hours into a hobby... so this is just speculation...

Most people I know that have restored cars have loved the whole ordeal.  At least right up until they are pretty much done with them.

If I had a chance to get something I'd built into a museum for the manufacturer I was celebrating... I think I'd go for it.  If I were the folks at Ferarri, and had a classic example of the shear love for the car... I'd definately suggest it.

eeek i dunno DJ...


The value of that model, based on labour alone is probably close to two F50's lol +)

I would let them rent it though...  as payment I would accept the use of 1 brand new ferrari per yr for the duration of the agreement +) (insurance costs thrown in of course)

I remember reading somewhere there was someone working on a perfect scale Spitfire XIV, and the last thing I'd seen of it was the engine. It was a perfect replica of the Merlin, and it did run and it DID sound like it should.

It was supposed to be the most detailed aircraft model built. Now I don't know if it's till being built or not. Everything was to work...guages, levers, everything.

Ambitious it was...

I saw the TV Program that clip is taken from, its called Jeremy Clarksons Extreme Machines i think. After the ferrari it had a remote control Concorde model, complete with working jet engines.

One episode of the show - Jeremy Clarkson (motor journalist) goes up in a helicopter (hughes defender i think?) with miniguns under the wing stubs and blows the crap out of a Corvette. Simply because he hates them

Wow, thanks for the punt. That work is absolutely incredible.
That has to be more valuable that the real thing.
