(...) 4-wide is more in the Classic LEGO style, but as Ross says the side-by-side effect is pretty desirable. Maybe something in 6-wide using half-stud offsets like the SW Landspeeder, although that makes it trickier to use the old mudguards etc. (...)

(...) No problem ! In fact you could use white and pretend that part is concrete. The barriers (red + white alt.) might be a bit trickier, maybe the little tubes are a bit more common in Technic sets. pete.w (24 years ago, 29-Mar-01, to lugnet.org.au, lugnet.loc.au)

(...) I can give this a burl -- probably don't need the instructions. Where do you fit the roll-bar? Do people think that a traditional 4-wide car is okay, or would a 6 or 8 wide be better?

Or how about indigenous Australian art? You know, the pictures of kangaroos or patterns all made from dots. Only our dots would all have "Lego" written on them like studs do.
