I built the Tigre!

  The bricks I ordered from Bricklink finally arrived and I was able to rebuild the Tigre once again after 16 years and one month. I also took a picture next to the Speed Champions 76897 Audi Sport Quattro S1 MOC I made which opens the hood and doors - I still want to do a few tweaks before I publish it...

Blue (Jun 2005) - how you'll turn after you've had a drive

What's better than one turbine? Two Turbines. The Blue's most characteristic feature is the two massive turbines on the back The Ramos Blue was the second car designed by L and it feels as if it's an evolution on the Turbo L, the driver is still seated in the centre of the car, but while the Turbo L had one turbine, the Blue has two. But that's where the similarities end. The Blue's design is inspired by an aeroplane - in addition to the two turbines it packs a pair of tall vertical rudders installed on the back to help with steering at high speeds. Two tubes move the fuel from the gas tank directly to the twin turbines. In terms of standard equipment, it includes lights in the front and the back (indicators are unnecessary), and a steering wheel - that's it! No need for awkward gearing in a turbine, you turn it on and propel yourself forward at high speeds, and no need for a windscreen - just remember to bring a helmet and a coat as it will get cold and windy!
