(...) What's amazing IIRC about the Viper and ViperSE is that the idea was originally pitched by Iain to his boss with a Lego model. Isn't that cool? Calum PS-cooler than a $104 track cleaner. (21 years ago, 29-Apr-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

Friday, we fired up the newest Viper to be built at Ventax. This will be the fastest one yet. The tipspeed as it passes through its centrepoint, once we get it up to 100%, will be appr. 117 km/h. Right now in these videos, which I shot today, it is (...) (21 years ago, 29-Apr-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

Hey everyone, Not that I have been building anything, but I have been thinking a bit about the next game. I thought it would be nice to switch the bricks to 2x2's with a tile on top.
