If you want this Wood Ferrari V12 Engine masterpiece you better work fast since this Ebay auction is coming to an end in about 4 days. The 400 hours of build time sure show, hopefully when it is sold the creator can purchase a new keyboard since it is obvious that his current one has a stuck caps key.

I wonder if you can get it to run on methanol?
That is lot of time and effort spent for a display piece. Someone really loves his Ferraris.
