Default Lego and Lego Techinc

Does anyone collect it.I used to have loads of lego technic.s when i was younger.

I was looking in my dads attic and found a biggish lego truck with a trailer and it has a helicopter on the back of the trailer.It was in bits when i found it.I will take some pics of it later and post them up.

Im thinking about buying some lego techincs.I fancy the big red car.


So post yours up people.

I've got loads of it too in my mum and dad's loft. Used to play with it for hours. Such a shame it's so expensive to buy new these days and kids would rather play with ipads etc.

I had the same 5590 model team technic truck when i was younger and made a custom rigid flat bed, Then a few years ago i found a free LEGO software builder program and remade it even though the program didn't have all the right bits, Forgot what it was called now, similar to Ldraw.

EDIT: found it
SR 3D Builder
