Are we going to see a Lego one John? - and if so, with all the components in that new room of yours, would you need to up-scale any of the pieces or just use lots+lots+lots of them ?!?   :coffee:

I'm pretty sure he's just used his zoom lens... the chap inside it is, if I am not mistaken, the pilot from an Airfix Spitfire kit  :lol: :lol:

It's funny, I always used to look at Meccano stuff & think "yeah, but the real world doesn't look like that" - glad I've been proven wrong  :ddb:

What imagination - I just love it!

In some ways, it would be better not legalised for road use. :jaw: and :bugeye: could cause many accidents between other drivers.

there's some good people on the Brit Chopper site most are nut's and some of the builds go well out side the box like this Straight Eight by Desperate Dan or his 2CV v8 or a Hub Centre Steered GPz750 Turbo Project you name it all built out the back of the house in shed's . if you have never built a road going bike /trike /car yourself you will know where we are coming from  :D :) if you want too have a good look round the site then please do it's not just choppers if it's got wheels or a motor we are in to it.

I dont think Del intends to put the thing on the road legally - hes built a trailer especially to tow it around in.
