I know it's been used in other things, but this will never not be Francesco Bernoulli to me.
Sooooo, that's a piece. Okay...
Frontend. Isn't that a smelly kind of cheese?

Same!
Came in brown also as front of a Count Dooku speeder in a Geonosis set.
I too, see this element and immediately think of Cars 2 and Francesco.
My first thought is of Cars 2 as well, but my second thought is of 4209, which made clever use of it as the trailing edges of the engines.
We got a Cars 2 set on RSotD a few days ago, so getting a Cars 2 part here is fitting
Some good uses of this over the years.
Retired part. F1 in the chat.
Apparently, I have a few of these in 4209; which: was, is and will always be an awesome set...sits atop my display/bookcase...would like to top some of these into car though...and I'm kinda' picturing some kind of boat using these for pontoons w/stabilizers...
So I just came across one when extracting a 8423 from a heap of parts. I completely forgot about this part.
And now I learn it has been used in sets I knew of but never noticed the NPUs for this part before. They were all hidden just well enough not to draw my attention when those sets were out. Wow!
