(G) A curious and non-technical find (loosely FIAT-related!)

I'm sure some of you have seen those FIAT Strada adverts (as for me, not at the time, but I have seen them on the 'net since). And perhaps you've seen pictures of the FIAT factory at the time they produced the Uno.

In which case, you might get a smile out of this (I did):

A veritable orgy of parts there... I think the 'Ideas Books' were generally for dreaming about having so many parts to build with!

Lego Technic rules! Almost as much as Meccano

Thought I'd take a look around -- ok so it's not an Uno, but it's pretty damn fancy:

so thats where the rear turret build quality comes from.......

Incidentally, if the link doesn't work, click the '8889-1' link just above where the picture should be, then click 'Page 4'.

I think Peeron have some sort of non-linking code on their website. Also, after you've browsed a certain number of pics, it tends to make all pictures 'dead' for a while. Registering and logging in solves the problem for another couple of hours (don't ask how I know this... )
