  • dsignr, on 10/11/2007, -6/+207For all who think that knitting is for pansies, check out the following line:

    "It's all supported by a steel frame which Lauren, 22, of Greatham, Hants, welded herself."
  • DenTPuzz, on 10/11/2007, -1/+144When I was a kid, if I asked for anything, my dad would always reply "I'll knit you one!" No matter what it was I was asking for (of course, he never did knit anything). I can't wait to send him this
  • ohmyblazes, on 10/11/2007, -1/+142Looks a hell of a lot better than that knitted iPhone.

  • chancesarent, on 10/11/2007, -4/+50This is Digg. Anyone in possession of boobs and a vagina who is under 40 years old and below 180 lbs= hot
    That means:
    The chick who knitted the ferrari= hot
    The chick who taped the sparklers together and like a big boom= hot
    The chick who stuck the fireworks up her butt and burned her taint= hot
    Ann Coulter= ......ok, maybe my hypothesis is flawed
  • jlimon, on 10/11/2007, -13/+58Yeah, she's not bad.
  • CarbonArc, on 10/11/2007, -3/+45A university in Bath, which was a Roman Spa Town, and now a city.

    It's probably called 'Bath Spa University' to differentiate it from 'The University of Bath' which is in the same city.

  • Slovenian6474, on 10/11/2007, -1/+40The undergrad student only knitted an Acura

  • orlyfactor, on 10/11/2007, -1/+37Exactly. I am sure loads of people who saw this are like, "Hey, I should buy a ferrari, I have $200k just sitting in my pocket burning this huge hole!"...shyeah.
  • MikeonTV, on 10/11/2007, -7/+42I hope Ferrari doesn't sue here.

  • RocketGib, on 10/11/2007, -3/+36Maybe someone will give her a real Ferrari for her trouble. :p
  • inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+29When I was a kid, and I asked for anything, my parents would start reciting The Rolling Stones song "You can't.. always get.. what you want...."
  • copper7op, on 10/11/2007, -0/+27Yes. It's perfect. At midnight, all the lights go down. The music stops. And then we wheel in... a Ferrari. Only it isn't a Ferrari... It's a cake. And everyone gets a piece!
  • JoeDiggsIt, on 10/11/2007, -0/+27[hey guy's, it's working]
  • stotch, on 10/11/2007, -3/+29it is, its nearly as prestigious as shower toilet tech
  • FastZ, on 10/11/2007, -48/+73Bath Spa University? What kinda gay ass university is that?
  • slapded, on 10/11/2007, -8/+32why is everyone knitting ***** they can't afford?
  • DDRSkata, on 10/11/2007, -1/+25When I was a kid, if I said I wanted anything, my mom would say, "Well, I want a million dollars."
  • neicull, on 10/11/2007, -3/+27i'll give her credit for the shear time it must have taken. but honestly... who knits a ferrari? wtf.
  • Anarki, on 10/11/2007, -0/+24My cousin goes to this university. It seems the Americans on digg are confused about the British education system....
  • MaynardJK, on 10/11/2007, -1/+24"i'll give her credit for the shear time it must have taken"

    You can buy yarn in the store so she probably didn't have to shear the sheep herself.
  • inactive, on 10/11/2007, -3/+24Who knows maybe Ferrari want a knitted mascot and they will make an offer, or maybe they will give her a car for the viral publicity they received with this car.
  • mojoel, on 10/11/2007, -12/+31"Bath Spa University?" Bet that's an exclusive school that's hard to get into. :P
  • ICSU, on 10/11/2007, -1/+20Yes, because we know that there are tons of people who haven't heard of Ferrari while having the money to buy one.
  • JoeDiggsIt, on 10/11/2007, -6/+25When I was a kid, and I asked for anything, my parents would beat me :-(
  • Krucifire, on 10/11/2007, -0/+19Only if she could knit me a Transformer.. then that would be something!
  • inactive, on 10/11/2007, -1/+19You're for pansies...
  • saralk, on 10/11/2007, -1/+19It's an ex polytechnic university. the University of Bath (which is a plate glass uni) is quite a well regarded university in the UK, Bath Spa is an average uni.

    It is like the ex polytechnic university Oxford Brooks, so people can say "I graduated from Oxford... *cough*brookes*cough*"
  • LoopyChew, on 10/11/2007, -0/+17Why, yes. 60/40 wool/cotton.
  • BMR777, on 10/11/2007, -2/+18Now that is the ultimate car cover!
  • rnwen2750, on 10/11/2007, -0/+16Wow, you're lovely. You must get invited to all the parties.
  • mmockett, on 10/11/2007, -22/+37***** off.
  • inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+15O.o
  • phike, on 10/11/2007, -0/+15Honours student indeed
  • Akaji, on 10/11/2007, -1/+16You didn't have to, and it's made out of knitting material. If you could find a big enough blender for it, it'd blend.
  • GHOVO, on 10/11/2007, -0/+14Imagine actually crashing in it...least you'd be warm when you die
  • Seidoger, on 10/11/2007, -0/+14It seems so soft and cuddly!
  • Markpdotcom, on 10/11/2007, -4/+18I'm so furious! I was in a car crash this morning, one of those new Skoda's, there's jam and cake all over my car!
  • bubba9999, on 10/11/2007, -1/+15it would be about the same size...
  • cs02rm0, on 10/11/2007, -0/+13Because Bath isn't in the US. That breaks some peoples' brains.
