How about this one? A couple of cylinders from a 27 litre merlin engine.

That has to be pretty fun to have the knowledge and equipment to be able to do something like this.

That is the coolest bit of work I've seen in a long time.

He didn't take any corners at speed  ;D

Pretty cool, but not my cup of tea.

With all that weight on the rear end that thing had to push something awful.  While he was assembling the gearbox I couldn't look away.  Interesting stuff.

+1, but for me it was more the fact that he *made* the gear box.

Excellent [thumbsup]
