I loved lego man. I built some crazy ****.



And I never used them again until I broke my wrist last February, and I had time off work and ****. I built a new case for my P60 out of lego. After I was done I thought what a monumental waste of time it was, but meh it kept me busy.

Here is a link I found a while back - It's amazing the amount of detail this guy has gone into - he even has a working engine/transmission/diff - along with double wishbone suspension up front, de dion rear, steering column and rack.... basically a fully working 7 made out of lego!!



For me though, the best part is the fully operational 4-speed gearbox

As far as I can see, he hasn't made up any parts of his own either - respect (as Ali-G would say).



BTW did anyone else completely disregard the instructions and make up their own lego inventions, IMO that's the best thing about the stuff
