I find this pretty interesting:
There is a section called "model of the month" at:
http://www.lego.com/advanced/m5p3.asp
where are 3 modified supercar models created by kids. Look at the yellow
supercar supposedly created by Det gule lyn age 13. It is the first one on
top receiving the most votes.
Now this exact model is featured in an Autocar Article - 6th Oct 99 which you
can see at:
http://www.technic-uk.co.uk/
The article talks about the yellow supercar being an official final prototype
to the 8448 and was built by Jorgen Christensen.
The model in the article and the one on lego.com are without a doubt the same.
My guess is that Det gule lyn age 13 didn't create it but how it finally ended
up being on lego.com under his name?

| (...) After looking at the two pictures for a while, I felt like I was looking at one of those kids' games of "Spot the differences." Well, I only found one difference that is striking. Even with the very different brightnesses of the pictures, this (...) (25 years ago, 3-Jan-00, to lugnet.technic)
