This fella had spent two years getting his design for the Caterham approved. Which meant:

I had to have on. My wife *nearly* bought he Technic Porsche that was on here a while ago but finally probity stalled that deal.

Yep, that Phantom is stunning. And I want the Caterham.

Stumbled across a couple of those Lego expo shows in recent years - fantastic events.
