I think that RR cars aren't bad. I'd happily have a current RRS if I could trust the service department to QA/handover and service the car without making elementary mistakes every single time they touched it.

I guess no one's told them that I haven't owned the car for over a month.

I'm still getting emails from the local Land Rover garage telling me that my service is overdue. I got rid of my Evoque in March 2016! :roll:

I'm building probably the best Lego set ever.

Yes, it's better than the Porsche.

Nice! My five year old son and his friends would have that dismantled in no time though. Don't they know that Lego is for the adults!?

Yeah, this thing is a metre tall when it's fully assembled. It actually comes apart in the proper stages, so you could recreate the whole moon mission from start to finish.

My main problem with this is finding somewhere to display it where my nephew/niece won't pick it up and immediately destroy it.

The next challenge is the somewhat huge bucket-wheel excavator, but I need to build up some brownies points before I'm allowed to appropriate the dining table for at least a week; my other half doesn't like it when I make Lego when I should be doing my chores instead.

Reminds me of a Christmas present to myself many many years ago; self assembly remote controlled 4 wherl drive buggy👍
You even had to fill the shockers with oil to get them to function properly and assemble the 2 diffs. I spent the whole of xmas day and boxing day on my own building it (much to my parent's and then future wife's disgust!)

LOL my office is blocking posts to this forum as it's considered a data breach.
The forum itself has always been considered dubious from a security perspective.

As per Hawkeye above Lego is for adults. Love it.
My kids will not let me build what I want.

Well I suppose it's their Lego in their playroom. 😟
