I lusted after that set for ages. Unfortunately, I personally deemed myself too old for lego by the age of 11. Especially since I'd graduated to Meccano at the age of 9. +1. _________________ He fights for the users.

Is that the car where you could see the pistons go up and down in the engine? Thats the one my brother had.

I read a detailed description of that first one and it does infact have an engine with moving parts. I'm sure thats the one he had. _________________Twitter Blogflickr

I know!!! Its an off-roader rather than a race car but has some cool features like LED headlights and motorised suspension. I'd love it but the missus wouldnt be best pleased with me spending £100 on Lego!

This is the first Lego Technical set I had:  http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=855-1I believe it was the first Technical set in the country. It looks dreadfully primitive in relation to what is available now, but it was an amazing thing to behold at the time. You had cogs, pulleys. It was an eye opener.
