Default Anyone ever see the mini Ferrari on Top Gear years ago?
The one some guy built from scratch.

Every single piece of it. Made his own EXACT minature engine, which sounded like the original car Even made his own service parts for it.


This car was a working ferrari in every detail but about 2 foot long

Was incredible.


Said if there was someone small enough, it could be driven perfectly.



If anyone remembers this, do you know of any links to info on it
