The gears are shit on my red car too. Can you remember how you cured the fault.

I think this tread has started something off inside

Just to get my eye in again

Just had a look at the pink boat thing. These things even come with a brick tool now what was wrong with kids peeling their nails back and pulling bricks off with ya teeth.

I dug my old Lego out for my little boy. Now its costing me a fortune with all this new Lego City stuff.
My little girl has some of that Lego Friends stuff aswell. But me and the boy have kidnapped the ice cream shop and used the bits off it to make a garage with some of the old Lego System stuff

Was over my mums today and she told me she found some of my Technic in the loft. I bought it home with me as my boy will love it. He's only 3 so I'll get to build it and he can play with it. He loves the mechanics of toys rather than a plain rigid toy.
