I'm quite certain there is only one of these in the world.

If so I saw it at Moterey a few years ago...truly incredible. When he fired it up Pamela Anderson could have been in her birthday suit and she would have been the lesser attraction. There must have been a thousand guys around him instantly. It sounded great.

That my friends is one talented and patient man! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif

I had been looking everywhere for a magazine article about that thing....
If I remember correctly he built the engine first and could never get it to sound just right so he contacted Ferrari to try and obtain the camshaft specs... he sent pictures of it and they were so impressed they sent him complete technical drawings for the tranmission and some other parts... really I can not believe that Ferrari is not interested in it for their own collection... like Rick said....

WOW....that is completely crazy!!! .
Never mind finding someone small enough, couldn't you rig some remote control parts up to it and a camera w/ virtual reality goggles? .
I wonder how much it'll sell for? .
