The family and I lived in England for a year in '97-'98. That's where I saw a lot of Formula One racing coverage on TV and in particular I really enjoyed watching Michael Schumacher race in his red Ferrari. I'd kill to have one of these awesome machines but there's a problem....I don't have the dough....and even if I did, I'd have no idea where to get one.....and even if I got one where the heck would I drive it. So recently I decided to do the next best thing.....get an affordable scale model...so I trolled around and found this really awesome 1:8 scale model from Lego. Yeah, I know....you're rolling your eyes....but this isn't your daddy's Lego kit. It's freakin' awesome....and very realistic. I got one and couldn't wait to come home every night and get working on assembling it. It has 1246 pieces and has a very authentic steering mechanism that turns the front tires, front and rear suspension, engine with pistons that move, a working differential with several gears, 3" wide tires....the list goes on.

As you might imagine I was the object of ridicule for my kids who thought I was a real nerd to be playing with Lego...but guess what...once they got to see and do what I was doing they couldn't keep their hands off it....hehehe...

techmyride's 2002 Honda Civic Parts is parts....all 1246 of them...in a pretty much random collection of plastic bags
It took me a whole 2 hours to make sure I had all the parts and to collect like parts and lay them all out on a sheet on the floor. You can't really do this project without taking the time to do this step.

Hey Rajan, Ideal car deal. The Leggo F-1 is awesome!!! I'm into Model Cars too, but I never imagined one like you have. Gave you 5 * all around on both cars, F-1 too! Rich
