I mean, it’s a small – I bet if you put it on top of that penny, the wheel span might not overhand the penny at all.

Ben Bowlin

Yeah. I’ve got to say, this reminds me of – have you ever been to Ripley’s Believe It or Not?

Scott Benjamin

Yes.

Ben Bowlin

You know where they have the tiny grains of rice where they have carvings? This reminds me of that sort of stuff.

Scott Benjamin

Exactly. This is extremely precise work. And there’s a whole group of collectors out there that are into these 1:87 scale models and the level of detail that’s put into these. They have all different types of photographs of semi truck trailers, like the old Coca-Cola haulers. They have an unbelievable amount of product out there – motorcycles, cars, hotrods, trucks, heavy hauling trucks. They have everything – farm implements. I saw some cool farm machinery. Each individual track, I guess – if it’s a track like a tank would have, you could see the detail in the tread on the tank. It’s unbelievable. These are great as far as something to collect or have.

They’re expensive, because there’s a lot of work that goes into them, but they’re very small and very detailed.

Ben Bowlin

And you can carry your entire collection in a briefcase.

Scott Benjamin

That’s right.

However – and this is one of the main objections one of my cousins had to model cars when they were younger – you can’t run them. They don’t actually run. And would that I could travel back in time to tell this kid about the last thing!

Scott Benjamin

Yeah, this really cool thing we found. We stumbled on this thing online. And judging by the number of hits this thing has on YouTube, I’m going to guess that a number of listeners have seen this already.

Ben Bowlin

Probably, yeah.

Scott Benjamin

But this is pretty awesome. It is a very old episode of Top Gear. It’s a Top Gear feature with Jeremy Clarkson. He’s narrating and interviewing someone. If you want to search for this vehicle, search for this exactly and you’ll find it – Ferrari 312 PB Replica Scale Model. And you won’t believe what you see in this.

Ben Bowlin

It’s crazy.

Scott Benjamin

It’s unbelievable. I mean, you watched it right?

Ben Bowlin

Yeah, I watched it.

Scott Benjamin

What did you think?

Ben Bowlin

I watched it. Our producer, Matt, watched it. Sometimes when I see levels of skill taken to that degree, Scott, I start to wonder what I’m doing with my life.
