    Good for him, I say. Yeah, it may look like ****, but I'm sure he enjoys it and it's definitely more interesting than driving around in a 20 year old Hyundai or something.

    Love the rust.
    1/3 of highway deaths are caused by drunks.

    The rest are caused by people who can't drive any better than a drunk.

    Wow!
    He had some serious time on his hands! The wood buck to form the body panels is awesome. He probably could have bought one a few times over with everything he's got into it, but it wouldn't be nearly as cool.

    The article says it costs £834,000 less than the authentic turbocharged version.

    Looks like the Daily Mail really read the wikipedia article on the Reventon carefully.

    Honestly, if you asked almost any member of TCL to build a Reventon from scratch, it would probably look like this.

    I've driven a couple of Lambos, though not a Countach. I'd bet this one (a long time favorite) has better driving dynamics than most cars out of Sant'Agata Bolognese.

    If you buy me a lot of moonshine I'll build you a Reventon that's way more hilariously bad.

    His is pretty nifty. Mine (with the addition of the aforementioned ingredient) would look more like the electric car Top Gear made.

    The brilliant bit are the rear mounted twelve orphans that push it. You have to replace them once they get too big though.
