Oh Snap! My Car Collection

For some time now, I've been thinking about some interesting ways to shoot my cars.  Here's my first attempt.

If you're not into cars, you might still like these - 2 Ferrari's and a Fiat...

My first Ferrari

HA!  Gotcha, didn't I?!

Gull Wing-like doors are hydraulic - Dude, really!

My 2nd Ferrari

And, of course, for a fast getaway on the weekend, my Fiat!

See, even you can afford a Ferrari - well, maybe if you can find them on EBay. For a few years, Lego did limited runs (each model was only made for one year) on these large scale kits. I missed the first one (a generic formula race car), but started collecting when I saw their first generic convertible (not pictured). It could be built in 3 different ways. The next one out was the Ferrari (first one pictured above), and it only had one look you could create. Same for the next 2.

The year following the Fiat's production run (shown above) they came out with a large scale Humvee.  I passed cause it wasn't a car. If I'd known what I know now, I would have bought it - it was the last of the large scale kits.  (sigh)

All these cars have functional suspensions, steering and operating engine. Roll the car forward and watch the pistons in the engine pump up and down and the fan move.  The Fiat's suspension is fully functional, complete with shock absorbers. This is some cool tech here boy!!

Hope you enjoy...
