Huwbot is on a roll, it seems, 2 "random" Technic sets in a row! This one happens to be sitting on a bookshelf right behind my desk, and for good reason.
As far as I know this simple little buggy is the smallest set with a 2-cylinder fake engine. Besides HOG steering it also features a working steering wheel and (simple) working rear suspension.
I wanted this set together with the dirt bike from the same year, because in the Lego club magazine there was a cobination build from those two sets.
I wasn't able to get any of those.
I've always wanted at least one of those handlebar pieces.
Oh man, this was my first Technic set and nothing has beat that experience yet. I highly encourage to add at least a couple of sets from this line into your collection if you have not already.
Oh yeah! I also have this set built and sitting on the shelf beside me as I type this. Sweet little Technic set!
Legoverslinder, I have the Dirt Bike from the same year too! Are the instructions for that combination build available somewhere?
Great set.
