I found my old lego car stuffed up in my old room. I built this guy when I was 8. I used to love Legos when I was younger(<12). That and computer games is all I did.

BTW, did you build that with instructions? That'd be pretty damn good especially at 8.

I built lego's all the time! And the "techniks" Or whatever models too (Harder ones). I had this big sport bike.



I also did regular models (plastic), no snap-ons...strictly glue/plastic level 3 type of stuff...



I used to also take things apart a lot....my friend who knows cars like none other learned the most/best by taking Salvaged/Junkyard cars and taking them apart and moving stuff...

Yes I had to use instructions on this one Its got too much stuff on it, 2 non-lsds, tranny w/ sycros, even a moving motor/flywheel, timing chain ect. I have built ones far more impressive that this one, but they were destroyed over the years I am just happy my parents saw something I was good at and let gave me the opportunity to develope it.

I always bult stuff from imagination. I just had a big collection of them albeit it was a bitch to find pieces from time to time. That's cool though synchros and what not.

Have you seen the legos people get to play with now? They are insane, they have working motors and fiber optics ect...

I did love using the pnuematic ones though
