Some say he once wrestled a Duplo figure to the ground using only his mind, and that if he could be bothered to do so, he would fire the bloke that came up with Bionicle. #lego
The F1 sets from Ferrari are top notch, wish they would make more of them. I always wanted to make a MOC of a F1 race. Not that a person couldn't now by building their own cars and sticker sets, but LEGO released sets would be so much better.
I started too. Then ran out of proper parts after getting plans of peeron.
I think I am scaling back my idea. I am going to try and build Black Hawk Farms Raceway in Rockton IL. Then make a bunch of Improved Touring cars and some Formula Vee's cruising the track.
Ya, little crazy with the LEGO but it is a good excuse to play with my two sons. #lego
@lilwillie: I completely respect your lego/racing enthusiasm. Sadly I'm in my early 20s, so I lack children to play legos with and my parents have all my legos boxed up at home. Someday when i have my own house and/or children I'll be able to to fulfill my dream. #lego
Nice to know I am not the only AFOL in the auto world.
The "Dark Ages" is what it is called, the time from your youth to your time as a adult when you set LEGO aside for other things. Only a few friends know I am a AFOL, now a lot on here do also, but its easy to disguise my love of LEGO with two kids.
Makes me want to go back to my parents house, find all my legos and make race cars. Then add guns, rockets and wings resulting in an epic air battle where Lewis Hamilton dies and Jarno Trulli comes in second.
Amazing how the engine sounds like a miniature tugboat at idle, yet at full song sounds like a nest of angry, Dachshund-sized hornets (punctuated by the occasional squirrel fight). #groupb
Having the - somewhat doubtful - pleasure of seeing the old guy driving RallyX i can tell you this much the guy has a serious temper. When finishing a race at anything accept first place he's usually on the verge of murdering the competition.
