I just realized that TLG no longer makes the 8466 and 8465 Technic sets. These were some of my current favorites, and I don't have the 8465! The new Designer Series stuff is nice, but I don't think they are REAL Technic things. Mindstorms is great, (...) (21 years ago, 6-Jun-03, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

Hey these are great! I always liked building Cars. There are so many functional details on these! The GT and GTS are some of my favorite creations that I have seen in a while. (as far as Technic Cars go, not to many around, always good to see more) (...) (21 years ago, 6-Jun-03, to lugnet.technic)

(...) What if you used an inline four engine design instead of the V6? It should allow the front chassis, and therefore the steering rack, to be not as wide. I don't really think it would affect the realism of the model. Actually, if it's not (...) (21 years ago, 6-Jun-03, to lugnet.technic, FTX)
