I Remeber making an F1 car out of bits and peices from loads of Sets. Was great fun. Oddly it had a Hydrolic rear wing and a rear wheel steering.. at the time i thought it was well cool.

Lego has spawned so many engineers, best educational toy money can buy.

And yes... I can't really explain how many hours I have spent with lego. I remember though that as a kid I woke up at 7 in the morning so that I could play with my lego for an hour before going to school
nothing I wouldn't have tried to do with LEGOs. Electric motor and rubber band powered racecars among them, quite many of them in fact (not unlike the very popular "F1 in schools" projects these days). Rack and pinion, gearing, hydraulics etc. ... you don't need a book to understand them. Can't remember doing many sets by the "blueprints", always more interested what else the components could do. And these toys pretty much do it all, except -block- the imagination. I really have to thank LEGO for making them ... and my parents for the steady supply. There has been some evolution since my building days, of course ... I vaguely remember seeing LEGO robots with electronic components, a computer interface and a dedicated programming language. Some adults go on with LEGOs for much of their lives, further testament to the incredible universality of the system (Reflect the structure on DNA, for example). Can't remember throwing mine away, perhaps I'll go and rummage through some cardboard boxes.
