[DML] Re: Lego DeLorean-ish kit

["Jan van de Wouw" <janvdwouw@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Marty,

At $10 it's enough of a DeLorean to want to have :o)

The closest to a DeLorean I have in Lego is Technic kit 8448
Which is a sort of Modular kit with a frame, V8-engine 
and even a working 5-speed gearbox with reverse.

It can be built as a Coupe/Convertible, a Gullwinged Sportscar
and a rear engined buggy-like car. I built mine as a Gullwing
but put the engine in the rear.

The car is about 20" long, 10" wide and 10" high with the doors up. 
It was priced at over $250,- I've got it sitting above my TV, waiting 
for a display case, as the studs and plastic gather massive amounts 
of dust and are hard to keep clean...

I'm certainly going to search for kit 4939, but I'm not 
sure it'll be available in Europe :-P Good find though!!!

Cheers,
