Assembled part of my Secret Senna Porsche Lego set. Turns out that assembling LEGO’s has the added benefit of being a stress reliever. Sat down, put some music on and went to work. Escaped from reality for a bit and it took me back to feeling like a kid (if just for a few hours).
There are easier ways to own a Porsche than assembling it yourself.
Got it all assembled. Was lost in thought so the photos go from “partially assembled with lots to do” to “fully assembled”. Now time to make an attempt at “artistic” shots
Boooooooost!!!!!!!!!

I built my Lego 911 and Sport Quattro while watching Daytona last weekend. I’m saving the Technics RSR for Le Mans.

Ha! Thats a great idea! I really want to assemble my 911 RSR but I think I’ll wait so I can spread out the joy a little more.

Careful. Legos are like crack.

That’s a very aggressive wheel setup; could use some camber bricks on both axles to decrease how much the tires poke out.
Thank you for sharing these, the burnout/launch pics are awesome. I need to make a Lego Toyota MR2 now...

Lol. The actually terrifying bit is the fact that the wheels dont spin independently. No differential here. Just a straight, solid axle.

My girlfriend and I will destress every 6 months or so by buying a big ass lego set for our house and then assembling it together over the course of a few days.
They’re expensive but unless you’re doing like novelty size ones, they’re not too bad.
This one was a really fun set.

Hoon smoke is a nice touch.

Those artistic shots with the smoke are the best!
Also I guess I’ll go ahead and say, I’m super glad you liked the stuff I sent!

Dude!! Thanks so so much. They’re all so great. I promise I will clean my engine bay. My house is a mud hole so there is no point lol.

Haha, the engine bay cleaning stuff was just a fun idea I had after looking through your posts and you mentioning it was dirty. I wanted it to be useful, but also mess with you about it a little, and then send the fun stuff later.

It’s like a Mustang but with rear weight bias and stronger lift-off oversteer tendencies? I’d hate to be a minifigure in the crowd when this leaves cars n’ coffee.
