I have an 8 year old girl that I spent all Sunday building Lego with. When asked what she wants Daddy to build for her, her response...'Daddy's Clio Williams!' It is in the blood!!!

Some sample shots...

Thanks Chaps. We copied a French picture with yellow fogs. I tried it in white, but there was no differentiation between the headlights, numberplate and fogs!!

Put a flat 2 x 6 block on one side of the bonnet.

Then remove some of the blocks that are over the wheels, then replace them so the blocks overhang the wheels to flare the arches.

Good idea. That's tonight covered. Anyone else still love Lego at 31?!

Oh yeah! Still got all my stuff from when I was a little lad. I have done a few projects with my God son. V twins, V6 and nearly a V8 engine but we ran out of bricks for the block. I bought a VW camper recently too but for my kids when they are older. I'm 35 :oops:

Maybe I should have a go making a Williams too, we could have a 'build off'

I also have all my Legos and not only that! I'm trying to buy all my mates Lego too, because I think these new Lego kits are just useless. All custom specialised parts with only so many ways to create something meaningful out of them. Old blocks were so general you could really unleash your imagination and spend hours creating new things! T

I really think that old block encouraged creativity in a way new ones don't.

It's like our hatches without any driver aids that keep you from crashing. If you know how to drive such a car, you can definitely drive a new one. Vice versa is not always true.

It looks a bit too aeordynamic to be a williams though. Cant you make it more blocky?

Well here is my Lego Clio Williams! :oops: :oops:

I'm not convinced that its right although I think it does look french! Maybe more of a 5 Turbo look.

The bonnet bulge is a Lego Space chair. It would be nice to give it steering, but better still if I can make it on a bigger scale I would have a go at steering, opening doors and the old F7R sat under the bonnet! I dont have enough time for that at the min tho..

What do you think?

Good builds. I'm not sure that I have enough blue pieces to make an attempt - and I've just got a Christmas present that I need to finish building first!

Here is some (not all!!) of my collection of Lego Technic dating back to 1977....

There is more but not that I could get decent pics of.

Must go, got the latest Unimog to be getting on with, keeps me occupied over Xmas anyway :-)

Wow! You've got a very nice collection there!

I always wanted one of these:

1989 Lego Backhoe Grader
http://media.peeron.com/pics/inv/setpics/8862-1.1170478216.thumb2.jpg

It's one of the wishes that did not come true when I was a kid. I could buy one now, but I'm not sure if that's a good idea. Some dreams should be left where they belong. In the past. :?

I thought some of you might be interested in the car-related set I just got given to me as a belated birthday present... Box is very nice with a lift off lid:

http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j299/2stis/gt3/20160705_190300_zpsnnenujlx.jpg

Very nicely organised inside with boxes for each stage of the build process and a huge instruction manual:

The final built model is huge - nearly two foot in length:

It apparently has a working flappy-paddle PDK gearbox although I have not really had a good look at that yet. The engine looked pretty good when built as a component, but just like the real car, it looks about as interesting as a washing machine once you install it in the car and look at it through the open boot!

31 here and still love Lego, just no excuse to build at the moment :( What's more impressive is that your 8-year old girl likes your Williams - you've taught her well :D
