The more I look at this, the more I want it!

Anyone bought one? Worth the £100?
(Unfortunately not reduced in the sale )

[Papa Hotel]

Not that model but I have the Enzo, well worth the money!

Mine's the 1:10, I paid €120 for it, about 80 quid at the time. They're on eBay for 115 - 130 quid now or a steal at only 500 from Amazon...

Got it for Christmas from my folks ... will let you know in a few days if it's any good, though Iintend to make the alternative model first as prefer the look of that. I love Lego and Technic Lego

My favourite ever Technic was the awesome 8880

fantastic, i remember the pop up lights and full independent front suspension.

looking aback at that, it looks so primitive and 'studdy' compared to the new models with their curved pieces and smooth stud less beams.,.

I have to say, it looks a bit stter than I recall it did at the time.

That gif doesn't do it many favours..

Still have mine, displayed on top of a bookcase, brilliant model. Pop up headlights, fully independent wishbone suspension, V4 motor with 3 speeed gearbox, working differential (it was this model that showed me how diffs actually work, before they'd just been some sort of magic box full of metal bits!). The adjustable seats were a bit crap though, there was no lock on them to keep them in position!

20years (or so) on from that, I'm getting a real urge to get the UniMog kit....

That's not a Lego supercar.

This is a Lego supercar:

I had this too,

Got as far as trying to build the front axle/steering before I got annoyed and built the parts into my lego castle.

My old man despaired.

I've got one and it' quite a good build especially if you haven't built a lego model for a while. The doors, bonnet and spoiler are all motorised which looks quite good.

I got one for my Birthday - was a great build, thinking of stripping it down now to build the alternative hod rod from instructions on the Lego site.



Alternatively have considered converting it to fully RC, but looks like quite a challenge looking at some of the YouTube vids.

My dad bought it for me for Christmas and I'm 28!

Fantastic fun, spent a couple of hours so far and have a gearbox and start of the subframe by the looks of things!

I was going to ask about the hot rod version.. Ta for posting the pic of it.

As I recall the 'secondary' models were just shown built, but without any instructions in the kit..

But if the info is on-line - well, I want it all the more! The hot rod looks ace!
