    It took Pierre 15 years and more than 20,000 hours to build this car. He learned to make glass so he could make the exact pattern lens for the operating headlights. He learned to make rubber so he could mold his own tires. His computer mainframe design background with the French telecommunications system allowed him to duplicate the Ferrari electronics system in exact miniature

    Close. But seriously the technology in a Spitfire is rather antiquated so it shouldn't be hard to replicate, or improve upon.

    You can get a fully operative replica Spitfire kit built in Aussie for around $100K - it's about 90% of the original size, and powered by an Isuzu 3 ltr v6 (Bighorn) engine.
    it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.
    those cheap ass bitches can do anything with ductape.
