Completely mental!!  I was waiting for this moment, when someone actually does it. A driveable car. Made from LEGO! Two guys from Oz did it: read all about it here  This thing is utter, utter bonkers!! It's even powered by a engine made from LEGO and runs on compressed air...  Too bad the voting is allready in progress - this is my personal car of the year!!! Awesome!! |

That is pretty funky, though it'd be nice to see more details of how the "engine" actually works

some one had to do it, how they got all the matching bricks etc mustve been a nightmare! : )
that engine looks pretty interesting but havent been able to find out much about it other than the amount of pistons,also more info on diff, prop and gearbox if its configured that way would be great. stopping it could be pretty interesting aswell.

stopping it could be pretty interesting aswell. I'd bet the drivers would be bricking it if someone blocked the way... |

I've seen several news items on this. They all bang on about how it is a 'zero emissions' vehicle, but nobody has mentioned how the air gets compressed or stored!

PMSL - it's the same story with elctric cars... They'r advertised as "localy emissions free" now. When I first read this (electric Smart car) I was sort of - spechless. |
