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

im with jay, legos in my day were a box of 20 blocks
and thats it, all the same size blocks too.
i had hundreds of cars, i used to keep them nice, and if i got
one scratch on it I would take pliers to it and make it a convertible

I had legos but I liked the erector set I had. That was cool because the **** was made out of metal. I remember making a trailer for my RC-10 out of them. My old man **** a brick though because they were his toy when he was a kid and though they were worth a bunch of money.
