Default Today I bought...

Admired these since launch and can't quite believe I'm taking delivery on Monday!

I've come so close to buying that on a number of occasions but good sense has prevailed thus far! I am rather jealous now...!

I nearly parted with £259 at Legoland yesterday as it just looked so good in the display cabinet there...

Thankfully I left empty handed and when home, found that most places are selling for £179 now, I got a deal online and got that down to £154.

Bargain. (sort of).

PDK sounds fascinating.

Why does it need to look so vile, though? Original Lego bricks or death!

Now I know where the inspiration for Porsche's DRLs came from!

Exactly - might as well get a large-scale proper kit.
