    I have joked with friends after a few beers about about building my own F1 car from bits sourced on the internet....well here is someone who is actually doing it!

    "If you want to argue that The Best Car in the World is a supercar, go ahead. But there is only one that makes the grade. Only one that's built properly.
    Gordon Murray knows.
    Rowan Atkinson knows.
    It's the Honda NSX."

    Talented man with skills and pockets to match.

    The hard issue would be SVA, insurance and repairs in case of a prang!

    I remember many years ago Jeremy clarkson found a guy in Italy that made a miniature f1 Ferrari. He made every piece in miniature, engine, gearbox the lot and it ran and made a Ferrari sound, it was astounding, would have been easier to make a full size one from scratch.
