Ferrari 312 in scale, working, man spent 15y!

[dinkel]

A man spent 15 years on making an exact scale of a Ferrari 312

Jawdropping

Dinkel,

I remeber watching that the when it was originally shown on the BBC and am in as much awe the second time as I was when I watched it back then. A true masterpiece and to think that everything on the car works from the clutch to the valves, from the lights to the gearbox!

Absolute perfection on a minature scale.

<- that does not even come close!

WOW!

I would pay many many thousands to take that off his hands
(If I had many thousands)

That really is perfect, he is *amazingly* talented to do something like that.

[anniesdad]

I wonder what the service intervals are?

Seems to me, now he's famous that it's the perfect car for Stuart Little!

Damn, I need a new computer!
My OS9.2 iMac doesn't show the movie. I only hear the sound
Anyone got any pics?

[toast boy]

unbelieveable doesnt even come close! i wonder why he didn't make it full size though? he obviously has the engineering talent to do it

[ninjaboy]

God if he can make one in minature he could have built one life size incredible i hate to think what its worth

I remember seeing that program originally. It's quite simply, one of the most amazing things I've ever seen. A working 100cc flat twelve for christ's sake! A truly amazing feat or design, manufacturing and patience.

indeed!

[ZR1cliff]

The more i look at that Ferrari ,the more i am gobsmacked.
The man is a complete genius.

"Dear Albert
Many thanks for your kind words! If you are coming to France, you can come to my workshop anytime.
I hope to be able to do some shows next year, I don't know exactly where and when yet, but I will keep you informed;

Best regards

Pierre Scerri"

Now is that kind or what . . . :looking up date for trip to France:

Keep you guys posted about those dates . . .
