Do you remember the little Ferrari that some Italian bloke had built by hand from scratch...?
It was shown on a old Top Gear afew years ago...Now that was abit of Engineering.

It was about 2 odd feet long, took him 15 yrs to build it.
He used to start it with a little key on the dash....Even Sounded like a Ferrari.

The Best scale model i've ever seen....Awesome !

Yes I saw it. That was from Jezza's Series - Extreme Machines. I remember that he was then moving on to a Dino or something and would be forced to sell it

If you follow the first link and have a hunt around there are two links to video footage, it takes a while to download, and its all in French, but the engine sounds awesome!.

After a bit of hunting, found this:
