He likes it so he spends so much time on it, whats wrong here?

DELETED

genius

Man, all that time and effort... can you imagine what he could do with that time if he had it back? Three years just on the drawings, lord. I'm one to judge, I spend most of my time looking at videos on the internet. Huh... I think this is the last comment I will even post on this site, I need to do something with my life... Bye guys

lol @ Mints.
Im the opposite. Sometimes I feel im wasting my life but then I see a video like this, spending years to make a useless car you cant even drive, and i suddenly feel like a million bucks.

I wonder if Mini-Me would fit?

Awesome.

thats insane..just imagine how many parts in the motor..

That has to be the BADDEST ASS Engineer I have ever seen. Ferrari would be fucking dumb if they didn't have this guy on the payroll (at least $175,00.00 a year)...Goddamn that was cool...

A God damn sports car!? What about a lightsabre or even a fucking anti-gravity hover board? No, this idiot savant makes an exact replica of a car that can't be driven. It's not even remote controlled!? Congrats jerk off!

You sir, appear from your neanderthal comments to be a talentless fuckwit.

I see nothing wrong with this. It's his hobby, his own type of fun. Way better than spending 12 years of your life boozin or doing hard drugs.

.. an engineer of first class qualifications .. extraordinary - to make your own engine !! at auction that car would fetch in excess of $0.5ml (£250.000+) .. excellent, thankyou

douglaspeltzer- I was thinking the same thing. That has got to be the best résumé ever.

Sell it to one of those stumpy little midget fellas with dwarfism or whatever. He could use it to cruise around town and pick up hot little midget bitches.

if he had a wife there's no way he would have ever got it done

Maybe he could find a clan of midgets and sell it to them! They could enjoy it...

This seems like something they would show on Top Gear.
Seems to be from the earlier years.

Here's an idea - spend 12 years to build your replica Ferrari in full scale. Now all you've got is a fully functional lawn ornament. Models of sailing ships, I understand. The damn thing is useless.

I think perhaps a few of you are missing the point.
Am sure had he wanted to build a full scale replica he would have done so.
With an educated guess I would say that what he did was somewhat harder given the minuteness of the parts he had to make.
'Useless' as you say is relative here.
I would imagine the knowledge he gained throughout the design-phase alone would be priceless.

Are these people here jelouse or stupid, he spend 12 years building it not 24 hours 7 days for 12 years, idiots, but anyways it took him 12 years because he started the drawing from scratch but now he got all the designes he need to build another one fast and easy. stop being jelouse just because he was a foriegn sounded like a German foriegn, remember americans shit, German was the first people to build car Engines, google it and you will know idiots.

as impressive as this is I have to point out that he could have built a 1:1 scale replica in the same time and he could have driven it , any one else realize that

Fucking brilliant. It's his passion, who gives a shit what anyone else thinks about 'practicality'. The guy was born to design... he chose something he loved and worked the hell out of it from start to finish. I'm totally blown away

Awesome !

thats what you call one of a kind
