Current range is £13 for the smaller cars, £17 for the larger and then they've got some twin packs for £35 and a Lambo one which is £54

I prefer the earlier 6 stud wide speed champions rather than the later 8 stud wide cars, sad I know 😂

SuperHamz · 03-04-2021, 04:32 AM

Haha, ETTO. I just found cars like the the F40 and the 911 looked a bit odd as single seaters.

"Working" from home and home schooling our eldest. So we built this one at lunch time.

A well spent hour and a half.

SuperHamz · 03-04-2021, 08:52 AM

That looks nicer in your pictures than in the promotional pictures, might have to get this one as well!

Thanks. It was a fun build.

I'm buying the GTR for next week!

The box is in the cupboard as my next build! And like you, it will be the GTR to follow.

I have the GTR, I like that one a lot, I did modify it a little, I made it RHD instead of LHD as per the instructions.

I confess. I did that to the Audi we built today too!!

SuperHamz · 03-04-2021, 10:04 AM

Haha, I did keep the Ferrari F8 LHD, felt wrong to have that as RHD!

Ok, too hard to resist posting images when LEGO models are mentioned!!
I dont think I shared these on here in previous years (if I did, I cant see it) so a few of my models and home "office" set up

All the F1 cars strip right down to their modular components and drivers tubs....yes I'm a geek!

Just built the GTR with my son, was a nice way to spend an hour or so whilst having some car vids on YouTube in the background and a good chat.
He’s really into the JDM cars.
