This is cooler than cool. I can only imagine the guy is single and has no friends or family. He has taken 15 years to hand build a scale model of an old racing car including 100cc flat 12 and 5 speed gearbox all handbuilt from scratch, every single component of the whole car. You got to see this!

I'd seen pictures of that before but not any video. What and achievement must worth a fortune. With that skill he could build a full size one.

20,000 hours to build it. What a nut job. If he worked in McDonalds for that long he could be driving a real Ferrari. Good model all the same. He should go work for Lego as a designer.
