No voices, nothing said, John...just the sweet sound of the mini. You need to hear it bark when he raps it. Awesome.

Here's a link to his website, lots of pics, cam info, engine specs etc. He designed and machined most parts himself (the parts are shown also). -> http://www.weberprecision.com/

These things are amazing. Here's another:

http://www.nvbackflow.com/engines/index.html

There is one of a guy who basically spent his whole life building a scale replica of a ferrari and it is the most amazing thing I have ever seen. It runs and is detailed down to the molding on the tires. Sounds awesome. I can't seem to find it, but I'll dig around. If someone knows of it post it. I would like to see it again myself.
