Default Working Lego V8

I came across this cool link on the internet a couple of days ago and thought I'd share.

Lego is quite possibly the greatest invention the world has ever seen.

Indeed; saw a 1:1 XC90 that looked better then the real ones!

Preferred the proper 'brick' version; modern sets seem to have too many specialised pieces and be less stimulating. You could only actually make a bloody 140/240 in my day!

Have to agree that Lego does rock

This is very impressive but still not as amazing as that 1/3 scale Ferrari 312 PB. Now that is a true piece of engineering brillance. Yes I know it's a "copy", but the amount of time, effort and skill required to build that car is nothign short of staggering.
