I used to be big into technic. Had the big truck, sports car etc...
Remember I also had this instruction booklet: [url= http://cgi.ebay.com.au/LEGO-TECHNIC-DESIGNERS-MANUAL-8891-IDEAS-BOOK---1991_W0QQitemZ290316252817QQcmdZViewItemQQimsxZ20090511?IMSfp=TL090511138001r13235 ]Technics booklet[/url]
There was this motorised cable car design in it which i had moving across my room for months on a piece of kite wire. Good times...
Incidentally, my colleague just bought me this as a joke for my bday. I think she meant for it to represent a bicycle (and oh my geekiness):

Dougal - my wife bought me that one for Christmas 07..
I hadn't 'played' with Lego for years, totally enjoyed myself 😀 cat thinks it's a bit strange though....
I didnt have 'sets', just collected loads of odd pieces from jumble sales and such. I did manage to build my own 'star destroyer' that was as long as the sofa, although colour co-ordination and in fact any real similarity to the original were purely in my mind!
or improvised explosive devices made out of empty Squeezy bottles filled with gas and detonated with Jetex fuses; or rammed bangers into freshly done dog's turds so that when they exploded the dog sh1t splatted artistically all up the sides of parked cars.
Ah, nice. So, you were a destructive, delinquent yoof, then? Intent on destroying, rather than creating?
And you're in the building trade now?
Maybe you shooduv had some Lego, then your work might be a bit better...

As part of my PhD I have decided to build some laser mounts out of meccano but I am at a point where I think lego technics would be better as there are gears etc. using lego as 'scientific research' is great!

You lucky, lucky bastard! You've had a [i]right[/i] result!
I've decided, cynical merchandising exercise or not, I HAVE to have some Star Wars Lego.

Well still have that technic car, the yellow castle, a train and 928 galaxy curiser still in orginal boxes.
Also got the daddy star destroyer 10030 for xmas one year. Took 5 days to build.
I had a few of the smaller spaceships and a smaller technical lego car but it all seemed so expensive! My rich mates had the bigger kits so got to play with them and get jealous.
