Can't afford the car of your dreams? A British customer support worker, who I reckon, should be a full-time artist, has painted his dream on his garage door.

The rare 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO is so convincing, drivers often slam on their brakes to take a closer look.

In the words of the artist, 'I hated the garage door before because it was really dull. 'I saw garage covers on the internet and I've always loved this particular car and wanted to make it a bit of fun.'

The realistic three-dimensional scene doesn't only feature the classy car though.

It also includes Harry Potter’s broom, a KFC bargain bucket and even a naughty calendar tucked away behind a step ladder.

Chris the artist would love the real thing in his garage, but as his wife says, 'Painting the Ferrari on the garage door is as close as he’s ever likely to get to it unless we win the lottery.'

When I showed the story to a friend, they commented that it was just as well he didn't live in the U.S, or drivers who slammed on their brakes and caused an accident, would sue him for sure!
