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...

Tigre (April 2005) the beginning of something wonderful

April 2005, after collecting all the yellow ramps and slopes I found in our collection, I created something that changed my enjoyment of LEGO forever, the Roadster Tigre: A recent render (using Stud.io) There are many places I could start this story: the first time I received a large Lego set (6339 Shuttle Launch Pad in 1995), the first time I acquired a Lego Racers car and some wheels, or even the first time my parents got me a bucket of lego... but this story does not start with legos, but with available technology: Summer 2004 - my first phone with a camera, the ultra-cool Nokia 3200 - besides taking photos you could also change its colour and background through changing the phone's physical background with your own custom drawings! Anyway, back to the point: I started photographing everything I could. It was a very low-resolution camera, but for the time it was my world! It wasn't good enough to take pictures of my drawings, so what else could I use the camera for... Nokia ...

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! ...
