Everything. As It Happens.
God be with the days when you got a box of lego and built what you wanted rather than what they told you to build…
Always been like that. Picture on the box a serving suggestion but ultimately what you do with the bricks is up to you. As a long time Lego aficionado, member of the Lego club and erstwhile Master Builder, I think this looks deadly.

But you’re gettin’ in the way of his moan.
If you’re actually up to anything building wise, take a look at the recognised LUG in the country – brick.ie
Maybe you’ll get one for your 17th birthday
It must be wonderful to be so superior all the time.
Ah sure, I’m sure the internet santa claus will find you one too !
‘Superior’ …seriously?…. good lad

The Porsche is nice too
I got the Ferrari F40 for Xmas. Very enjoyable , the detail is impressive. Took about 8 (mainly drunk) hours to complete.
It looks more like a 2CV than a Beetle.
I was just thinking the same. The Beetle always had a rounded windscreen, whereas the 2CV has a rectangular one, like in this model. Perhaps its some sort of cross-breading hybrid!
Correct – the windshield is too vertical…the colour could be better too. Do Beetle’s not have a signature paint colour? Like a mouldy beige or something?
The licence plate is wrong though. That’s a 1950s plates. It should be yellow on black with serial number style XXX 123.
Hmm. So there.
Want one.
200 beans though.
