1/3 scale ferrari
this is a bit OT, but Im not sure where else on this forum i could put it. If you guys have never seen this video it's incredible. A 1/3 scale ferrari that took 15 years and 20,000 hours to create. The engine works and even the gearbox works...

I think Chucky could drive it.

Truely unblievable, but if your going to build it from scratch why build in 1/3 scale and not to scale so you could actually drive and enjoy it?
|
thats true, but i would think he would need some more heavy duty machinary to make full sized parts (such as the engine).
By the way, it was a flat 12, were a lot of these old race cars flat 12's? |
Way cool. I've actually seen this vid before- couldn't help but wonder...what are the chances of talking this guy into spending his next half million working hours building a 1:3 scale 959?

He should have made 3-4 more as he was making the parts so he could keep one & sell the rest.
And I agree, he should have just gone ahead & made a full-size one instead so he could drive it. Doug |
With his talent, I would think that he could train a squirrel to drive it in a full nomex suit and helmet. Now THAT would impress me. Especially if he made a scale model of the 'ring or Spa, and the squirrel set a lap record. Pretty impressive, none the less.

Regardless of what he shoulda/coulda, that is nothing less than impressive! That is a very patient, studious, ingenious (read: creative), meticulous, tenacious person. Makes me wonder, however, what kind of social creature he'd be. He's probably not the proverbial "life of the party", if he even socializes. Nonetheless, I find it impressive :cool:

If I was the head of Ferrari, I'd be like
"Here just TAKE a Ferrari. You've earned it" |
