    I want Technic to re-release a larger-scale Seven or something mid-engined with lots of functional parts so I can learn about assembling a car without dropping $20K on a Westfield kit. #lego

    @Jeb_Hoge: see if you can find the 8880 "Super Car" kit. it's been out of production for over a decade, but it's a pretty amazing model. 4 speed tranny (or was it 3 + reverse?) 4 wheel steering and 4 wheel drive, pop up headlights, and a pretty intricate suspension #lego

    That's probably more of interest to LEGO's Scandinavian customers. #lego

    @skaycog: The kits that realistically reproduce cars are amazing. Some of the newer kits are a lot more detailed than the ones i had as a kid. That one is really impressive. #lego

    Nice. I don't see many new pieces in that set. They did a good job reusing existing exo-force wings along with the popular slope parts used on most new sets.

    Tank treads look wider though, hmmm, time to go shopping. #lego

    The Hagglund is less cool than the snow groomer, esp. with cable winch. What else can shape tons of snow on 45-degree inclines and mow those same slopes in the summertime? #lego

    Anyone seen the latest TG? I don't want to ruin it for the rest, but I was very distracted by James May's passenger companion. I mean very.

    not really car related other than the fact he presents TG,now if he were to build a life size lego car then that would be interesting.

    Well, May is making every 6 year old's dreams come true. I wonder how the Lego toilet seat will fell on the bum?

    Also, his independent series have been pretty damn good. If you haven't watched James May Goes to the Moon you owe it to yourself. The opening sequence with the GTO and the U2 is worth it by itself.

    Let's see, 3 million bricks, if he bought just standard 2x4 #3001 from pick a brick at LEGO that works out to $780,000 if my math is working correctly after two Brandy Old Fashions and a sixer of Miller Lite....

    That is a cool, but expensive, LEGO house.

    I'm jealous /AFOL for a long time.
