ah, one of those sets, where I have one single element from it (V8 sticker from the side) just floating around, and nothing else
but anyway. Im sure its been said before, but Im going to say it again
Lego Racers was such a great theme
If you squint, it kinda looks Blacktron 2.
I mean... the set name gets straight to the point
I'm certainly not betting against this guy. Unless he's out of gas, in which case my money is on the lime all the way.
Speed's...English cousin???:D
I don't know how they fitted a V8 in there.
@Maxbricks14: They didn't 'fit' it...they built the truck around the V8...:)
Even just looking at those stickers is giving me anxiety.
I call today’s combo “It’s a lime, ITS A LIME!!!!!”
When life gives you limes... make a racer.
That'll be an easy win, I don't imagine limes go very fast
LIME racer! Definitely NOT a lemon!
Yes, but why does it race against limes?
Lego's first attempt at the Aston Martin F1 livery?
I like the way the engine and wheels are so over-sized at this scale.
From one of the later years. I like it. Looks very-off-road capable.

Yeah, as much as I enjoyed Tiny Turbos, those stickers were NOT fun.

"Lime, do you hear me?! Give my creation... LIME!!!"

As @Brickalili said, that lets it get an easy win.
VROOOM!!!
And while not orange, those flames still make it go faster.
Not very good at curves. Much better on straight limes.
His catchphrase is “I am… lime!”
Ok that’s all I’ve got.

These are pretty lime jokes. But as it's friday (lame puns day where I work), you three are excused...

They painted tires on the side.
I thought it looks like a miniature version of 60055

Your job has a day for puns? I'm reminded of Spider Robinson's Callahan's Crosstime Saloon books. Every Tuesday is Punday at the titular bar, with a themed pun competition. For instance, one day the theme was electricity. One character say's "Socket to me. A second says "Wire you debasing this contest with slang?" A third says, "I don't know, it seemed like an acceptable current usage."

No, not officially. Our department just started it eventually because we're silly and occasionally, we can entertain co-workers ;) so that's our version of 'casual' friday as the least number of people are in the office and nobody is super focussed anyway. It's also not just terrible puns but also dad jokes and other quality fun.
