Default Ferrari model?

I saw some vid of a scale model of a Ferrari. Only thing is this guy had even built a working (as in running, firing) 12 cylinder boxer engine with pistons and valves and the whole deal.

Anyone know where I can find it?

It was posted here in OT. The heading was "This is Insane" or something like that. You could just search for Ferrari model?

Yea, this thing is one of the most amazing things I have ever seen...absolutely incredible!

But I bet the money he spent on the model he could have a few REAL Ferraris!

Which, at overtime rates, would have net him at least a 308.

But me thinks he didn't take this path for the destination, but rather the journey. Now that he's done it what does he do? Get reacquainted with his wife and kids?

Next time the GF says I spend too much time on my car I'll point her to this guys website.

Yeah, except that he's in Poland. That should buy him a nice sausage. (No offence intended here people - this is a joke )

Hey, I just had an idea. Maybe Schatten should try the DIY route?
