Sorry for the minot hijack, but i guess it's quite relevant: I remember seeing a video (Clarkson, i think) about a guy who'd built an exact, running scale model of one of an old Ferrari 312PB. EVERYTHING worked, from the engine, to the gearbox, even down to the dials on the dashboard which can't have been more than 10mm diameter. The whole car was only about 2 feet long. And he'd made all the parts himself. I'll see if i can find a website about it...
EDIT: Ok so my dimensions were a little off, it's a 1/3rd scale model.

Yeah i remember that, was the coolest thing at the time. when i was about 11.
Now though i can't see why he diddn't make it 3 times bigger and drive the bloody thing! Too much free time!
