Chocolate Ferrari F1 replica
Combining two of my favorite things in the world, confectioners in Italy have made a life-size model of the gorgeous Ferrari F1 car using 4,405lbs of Belgian chocolate to serve a s a centerpiece for the Ferrari owners club party in Sorrento, near Naples!

The car, which was more than one year in the making, will go on display until the weekend after which it will be smashed up with hammers and served to party guests. Based on the F2008, the £12,000 chocolate Ferrari has a red edible coating and guest of the Scuderia Ferrari Club Napoli will be given bits of the car to take home after the bash.

Wow! What an amazing car! You know I want one! I first heard about this on CAR TALK. I listen to Car Talk on some saturdays on NPR. Click and Clack! They are funny. This shoe car was designed by David Crow. It took him about four years to complete it. Fiberglass and hand rubbed paint! Waaaay Cool!

I had to post this picture. Its amazing! All these pictures where done by a finger on cars! I cant believe it, sooo good.

This is the Inspiration, the British steam powered car that is attempting to take the British and World land speed records (for steam vehicles). The car is constructed on a tubular steel chassis and holds four boilers which output a massive four megawatts. These force steam into the Curtis turbine engine which will produce 300bhp, enough to push the car to 200mph (in theory).

The team behind the Inspiration and the British Steam Car challenge hopes to break the current, 101 year old record of 127.659mph (1906). American Bob Barber hit 145.607mph in 1985 but it was a single run; the world record rules stipulate an average taken over two runs in opposite directions.

The attempt is planned to take place in South Africa this month, then the team will head out to the US to break the record there. Drivers Charles Burnett III (ex dragster racer) and Annette Getty shouldn’t have a problem setting a record on home ground. Britain has no official record, so just by turning up they win.
