Today the final package containing 14 missing red lift arms arrived. I had to place 5 orders in 5 different stores, for a total of EUR 380 to get all the necessary parts for this car. Most parts (and the largest order) where found in Juergen's store. I am still missing the wheel covers . These have become very rare and very expensive. Since I think these are ugly, I might not order these anyway. Pictures coming soon!

Alright, I'll admit it I am an Adult Fan of Lego (or AFOL). Maybe this doesn't make me a real adult, but you'd be surprised to see how many people my age are still buying sets or creating MOCs (My Own Creations). My love for Lego started many years ago with a Universal Building Set . After that, many sets followed, ranging from space ships , airports to famous Technic sets. I have always been fond of the larger, more complicated Technic sets. I also remember being very fond of the Technic chassis series ( 853 , 8860 ) which later became real cars. Unfortunately I don't own any of the chassis sets, but I do own the 8880 and the 8448 . Recently I stumbled upon an interesting blog entry talking about a concept car for sale on eBay, designed by Nathanaël Kuipers . The car looks a lot like the car from the old 8448 set, but is using a more modular design. It is also completely studless whereas the 8448 still had some older Technic bricks. The car was eventually sold...
