    Polish man is building a McLaren F1 in his garage

    I about died laughing today when I saw this:

    Everyone remembers Ken Imhoff, who built a Lamborghini Countach in his basement. Now, a Polish man is looking to out-do that effort with his own version of the McLaren F1. So far? Epic Fail.

    I love the last sentence of the article...

    " Yeah, this isn't going to do much to reduce the stereotype Polish people have to deal with."

                  From the looks of it, it's probably going to kill him the first time he drives it.

                    Lots of great work. A basic Mig welder and a dirt floor. Imagine what he could with proper tooling and a flat concrete floor.
                    Brake harder. Go faster. No shit.

                        I really don't think it looks that bad. For being built in a garage, it's actually pretty good.

                        A whole lot better than most of you could do.

                            Yeah, I didn't think it looked that bad. The body work even seems to be done pretty well. I mean, it will never be a McLaren F1 in anyway shape or form, but it does look like it is a pretty decent replica.
