Trailer was also designed by someone else. I dont have the creativity

Although i like to make a few changes to some lego kits that ive built

We are all creative, some more than others, but we are all creative!... including you, you have created something!...when my nephew was in his early teens, 12 or 13 or 14 yrs old, so around late 80's early 90's I always bought him Lego kits to improve his expanding and curious mind.

It was called " Technical Lego " back then, so race car kits etc, complete with hydraulic or pneumatic lines, he ended up topping his class as a Heavy Vehicle Fitter.

Technical or Technic?......it was over 30 years ago, the last one was a fully functioning F1 type car, he loved it, most of the Lego back then in Australia was for kiddies, I stumbled across Technic at a RC shop in Penrith NSW.

Many years ago, I used to do adult gymnastics; I was never very good at it but considered it to be a pretty good way to improve fitness and agility. The instructor there used to enjoy his Lego. His passion for Lego lead to him creating a business selling the stuff. His business was so successful that he quit instructing gymnastics and ran the business full time.

He has done very well for himself from that pastime he used to have. To the point that he is known for owning and driving a Ferrari in the local town he lives in. With a population of less than 5000 people in that town, a car like that tends to stand out a bit bit!

There's a lot of money in Lego!

No, it's not. I didn't mention the name of the person or business as the person is not really relevant to the thread and I didn't feel it was right to promote his business in a public forum when I've had no dealing with them in that capacity.

I wasn't sure if your question was legit or tic, gaso, so I looked up rj. I see he is based in Pakenham. The guy I know is based in maffra. Anyone now interested in knowing the person and /or business should have all the information they need to find it out for themselves.

Was a very nice guy when he was instructing gymnsstics.
