Mutilating is such a harsh word;-) What he actually did was to simply remove
the wheel from the car steering wheel element and attached it onto a section of
flexible technic tubing.
We need a ruling as to whether or not that constitutes mutilation:-) I think
most would agree that cutting flex tubing *isn't* considered mutilation, since
it is a procedure from actual LEGO instuctions...
BTW Stefan, I enjoyed seeing your 8 wide steamer-- very nice work. I hear good
things about you from other MLTC members-- keep up the good (8wide;-) work!
