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

That is schweet.

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.
