    A friend just sent me this clip. One of the most amazing, obsessive, jaw-droppingly committed projects I've ever seen come to fruition.

    If you seen it before, you know what I'm talking about. If not, you're in for a treat --

    His F-car obsession makes the rest of us look nearly sane. Enjoy.

    Bottom line.

    Ferrari should give him a car for showing that level of commitment...

    Man, I thought the same thing. At least he should be offered any of his choice of jobs there. Can you imagine a better resume than walking in holding that car?

    I've shown this to a few other select friends, and each reaction has been in awe.

    Indeed, this fellow's skill is amazing!

    Given that the fellow has the skill, dedication, and capacity to build/replicate these cars I am curious as to why he chose to build a miniature, as opposed to one that he could physically drive?

    Cheers,

    Sam

    I am amazed at this fellow's passion for Ferraris. I suppose that this passion is why we are all proud owners and dreamers in spite of the fact that they are not the most practical of cars. It really is something special to share that feeling with others. He has my full admiration.

    As if his efforts aren't impressive enough, there are many many folks like him every bit as obsessed with miniature building.

    This guy is just one example of some of the most intensely talented people involved in this hobby.

    This was first shown on Top Gear in 2005.

    The man deserves to be in the Model Making Hall of Fame !

    You sure? I think it was from Clarksons Car World or Extreme Machines. Can't remember which one.

    I saw this car at the Birmingham Motor show many years ago at full tilt. It sounds amazing.

    I'm pretty sure, It was the same show that they did a feature on the 1st Koenigsegg?
