Check this out... but protect your keyboard before you do... the sweetest model car ever made

Found this on rec.models.rc.land: http://homepages.enterprise.net/johnegerton/cmcc/cars.htm Now, click on the last Real Player link on the page, the one with the Ferrari. Here is the full address: http://homepages.enterprise.net/johnegerton/cmcc/ferrari312.ram It might take awhile to pick your jaw up off the floor. Now, I wish someone would develop a sim based on this class of cars :-) Brian Short

DAMNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN, that is a perfect scale model, everything exact. And the sound!!!!!!!! 3 years to draw it, 12 years to make it. That guy really needs a life but hey, his creation kicks ass. Jaw is stuck to the ground for a year. Thanks Brian PS EVEN A WORKING GEARBOX! Man when i grow up i want one of them, that this is probably worth more than the real thing.

WOW! Talk about your detail! I'm completely speechless! Now I have no desire to do my F-1 models. What a great piece. I hope they can find a midget small enough to drive it. It would be very cool to see that car move! Hell itwas made to move! Thank's for the link Brian

UN-FRIGGIN-BELIEVABLE! The interviewer is just giggling, as did I. A modest man, that Pierre. He spent 20.000 hours building it. A great comment was; "The car would work if we could find someone to drive it". The model is just over a meter long... /petern

Okay everyone, this is what you show your significant other the next time you're catchin' it for your sim racing habit... "I might be ***ed honey, but look at this guy..." Charlie

That model was featured on Jeremy Clarkeson's Extreme Machines. In fact this is probably a clip from that show. The guy who made it is from just outside Amiens, just South-east of Paris, France. I do belive, Rob

Can I get an AMEN on that brothers and sisters! Damn, what a piece of work! And my all time favorite Ferrari too. Hey Papy, how about "Sports Car Legends"? -don

I can't see it. I get "invalid URL" from realplayer. Anybody else with this problem?

Maybe he could get a Japanese electronics company to manufacture a radio control "driver" to drive it. To scale of course:) BTW they have shown it on a British TV program. Extreme Machines with Jeremy Clarkson last year I think. -- Ian Parker ICQ 21772592 >WOW! Talk about your detail! I'm completely speechless! Now I have no desire >to do my F-1 models.

says... Point your browser here: http://homepages.enterprise.net/johnegerton/cmcc/ferrari312.rm and tell it to save as a file, rather than displaying as a bunch of binary crud... I had problems (surmountable, no doubt) doing it with Netscape, but IE just wrote it to the C:\Windows\Temporary Internet Files folder, no probs. --John Bradley

[UNLURK] That was the most amazing thing I've seen in years. This man should get some kind of award. Possibly the "Humble man of the decade" plaque or the "Twarn't nothing, I've got 5 or 6 like it back home" medallion. I just can't believe it!! [Back to lurk] Brian

Man if that guy isnt proud of it, he can give it to me and ill be proud of it hehe. "Proud...maybe", damn that guy is, like you said, humble, if i had wasted 15 years making a kick ass car that is perfect like that ferrari, i would be asking $300 for people to see it, and im sure people would pay it, I would pay it hehe. I love the sound of it, just that perfect sound hehe. Wosco
