Since we are slightly mechanically minded and enjoy the hard work that gets put into making our Breitlings I thought this might interest a few of you.

I remember watching Jeremy Clarkson's Extreme Machines a few years back and thinking how amazing this was. I found the video on YouTube quite recently. The video link is in the article below but I've included it also.

that is so good!! That was a great series.....I have a faint recollection of seeing a giant jeep on that show that was a hotel; somewhere in Dubai?

Does this ring a bell with anyone or am I just going crazy?

It sounds familiar.

Could it have been on Jeremy Clarkson's Motorworld? That had a whole episode featuring Dubai. I've been away from UK Horizons/Dave channel for too to remember seeing the episode in person.

It was a giant red Ford pickup as I remember...and in the same episode there was a giant trailer / caravan in the shape of the earth.

The scratch built Ferrari is fantastic, a real labour of obsession. I love this stuff.

Heres a scratch built Spitfire, only took him eleven years

And heres Gerald, my hero. Scratchbuild modeller of some repute.
