Shop-teacher shared pictures of the instructions for an old Lego set he bought:

So I followed them and built this red version of the race car. And now if you’ll excuse me, I have some vroom vroom noises to make.

That looks like some old Lego.

Damn I wish I had more Lego.

Some of it is pretty old Lego. I inherited my first Lego from my dad, so I have a decent amount of old Lego. You can always buy old Lego on Bricklink... https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?S=715-1&name=Basic%20Building%20Set&category=%5BUniversal%20Building%20Set%5D%5BBasic%5D#T=S&O={%22iconly%22:0}

I think I had that set back then. I have a garbage can of Legos in storage.

I have much more Lego that time, but I’m supposed to be getting a grandson this Summer so in a few years, that imbalance may shift.

Good! Now we just need someone to build the trailer and we’ll have the complete set, albeit separately.

So how long until Brickmula 1?

It was going to be this month, but was cancelled due to coronavirus. We could convince them to televise the race without spectators, but it’s not quite the same without the cheering crowds of minifigures.

Kinja'd!!!

I am taking a break... I lack the wherewithall to sort thru the boys Legos to find all the right color. And I’m taking liberties with the grill, lights, and suspension.
