Why bother building your own?
Pah....... I recon that you could build one of those for as little as £250.

The Guardian obviously thinks that the peasants in Essex are all on the dole -
" It's not just the rich; a couple from Chelmsford told me they had taken their seven-year-old daughter out of school to visit the famous
Christmas Grotto."
Those doll houses are similar to what my wife does, I think a few might be going missing Nearly all her furniture is home made and the houses are
built at home as well. I get volunteered for a lot of wood butchering Doll houses link click on the
webshots at the top.

That's brilliant! What little Johnny really needs this christmas!
Quoting from the write-up:
"But while most children will be grappling with Lego and Harry Potter plastic come 25 December, a handful will have parents who have forked out
£9,995 at Harrods for a hand-built Mini Seven car. With a top speed of 19mph, the miniature car, powered by a small petrol engine, is proportionally
accurate to the real thing and has to be specially ordered. There's room for a passenger, too, and as an extra touch the happy couple can have
their names hand-embroidered on the seat backs (the display model has "Freddie" and "Grace"."
If that's "proportionally accurate", then I've got no worries after all.

Most children of course, will not be grappling with Lego or anything, but will be talking to their "friends" on F### book and MSN. But it is a nice idea.
F that for £10k I'll get a full sized one and the lad can shout "faster faster!" at me from the passenger seat (like he normally does
)
