Points taken, and that was pretty much what I thought. The main reason I asked
was because "...and the whole thing's made of Lego! Even the waterfall!!"
would be a bit more satisfying than "...and the whole thing's made of Lego!
(except for the waterfall)". But having seen the range of supercars, I'm not
going to argue with David's feasibility study.
