2004 Ferrari Formula 1 Car
ok, so i saw this and was in love.. despite been a ferrari!
i went out and saw it at the toy store, and purchased it, my friends thought i was a little child.. then they saw the car, and love it nearley as much as me, took about 4 hours to build, and it roughley half a metre long!
stunning detail, it has a working differentual, working stearing, working V10 engine.. yes moving pistons and all!
soo sweet!
ok here are the pictures, please view them and comment... would be very much apreciated!
and is this the first lego model in this section?
the box it came in..
this pic rules.. i said so
frount spoiler note: decals!
i turned around and my cat layed next to it, so i took a picture...
rear, not V10 engine
enjoy!! :shock:

That looks awesome man, and the price is not bad for what you get.
I was a Lego freak in my younger years, but never had anything as cool as this.
The cat seems to like it also, and he/she is nearly identical to the cat my parents used to have (before it died). :cry:
