This is one of the craziest things I have ever seen related to cars. This guy built a fully functioning 1:3 scale Ferrari.

That takes an extraordinary craftsman.

Uhhh Yeah.

I take it he's not the kind of guy that would have opted for the snap together over a glue model??

3 years of drawings, very cool.

 

I thought I was obsessed . . . . . now I feel normal . . . Thanks!

That is amazing.

 

That is some dedication.....It didn't say, if he had a wife or not. I doubt it though.

 

Being a mechanical engineering student I am sitting here in complete and total amazement. That man is an engineering master. I am literally speechless...

 

That man is awsome and all, but he seriously needs a girl friend

 

that is amazing, I first saw it in Road & Track many years ago.....

 

That is unreal. I want to see it BAD!!

 

now we need to get that "Honney I shrunk the kids" guy to shrink me from my 6'2" size to something around 1 foot so i can drive it. That is just amazing.

 

the valves and motor etc are the most amazing to me...so small and precision engineered to get the right sound.

i still love that guy who built the 1:4 scale super charged hemi motor that ran on a stand. that was cool and the supercharger was functional and all.

 

check out this site www.nvbackflow.com/engines/index.html

this guy also does engines like that and is working on 1:3 scale 33 ****** coupe.

 

That is awesome!! I wish I could stay focused on a project for 1 year let alone 15 All I can say is WOW!

What good is that?? 15 years of his life invested and he can't even drive it??!?
I must be missing something. Its cool and all, but 15 years is like 1/4 of a lifetime

 

Just the fact that the dude made every single part himself......that right there is just pure amazing!!

Heck - if I was going to invest that much time and money in a project I would've just made the darn thing full size so I could drive it !!! Heck - I can't imagine it'd have cost THAT much more money - his money was spent in the casting of the dies, the design, etc.

Maybe I'm wrong? I'm not an engineer, nor do I have the patience to do something like that.

Hey - maybe Verne Troyer (mini-me) would be interested in buying it!
