Blue Yonder
This time of year it seems every advert is for a holiday. Even the ones here at The Lego Car Blog have switched to promoting trips to sunnier climes. Which is sadly of no relevance to this TLCB...

It’s the East German Rozzers!
The Trabant 601 may not have seemed a formidable police car, but seeing as most of the East German population would have had, at best, their own Trabant 601, and more likely a crappy motorcycle or a...

Mind Your Manners
This superbly-liveried rhubarb-and-custard DAF XG was discovered by one of our Elves on Flickr, and comes from regular bloggee Ralph Savelsberg (aka Mad Physicist), who has recreated one of the real...

Fish Face
This TLCB Writer never particularly liked the McLaren Mercedes SLR. It looked like some kind of sad deep-sea fish. But no matter, because if you do like Mercedes-Benz’s mid-’00s collaboration with...

Celebrating Humdrum
We love mediocrity here at The Lego Car Blog. Which is probably because we are ourselves deeply, completely, terminally, mediocre. And what’s more mediocre, automotively speaking, than a ’90s Toyota...

The Car You Always Promised Yourself
Is there anything cooler than a bright yellow Mark 1 Ford Capri? No, of course not, and previous bloggee Versteinert had the coolest dad ever, because this is a replica of the exact car owned by his...

F___ Bros
The Ferrari F40 is probably the finest Ferrari ever made. And therefore it’s possibly the finest automobile ever made too. The F50… isn’t. Still, they’ve both been built by Flickr’s RGB900 and you can...

Plymouth Patrol
It’s the late ’70s, and Ford’s Crown Victoria is still a decade-and-a-half away from police ubiquity. Which means a variety of barge-like metal is plying America’s highways wearing a star on the side....

Short & Ugly
Short, ugly, slow, and looks older than it is. No no, not this TLCB Writer (and he’s offended you thought so), but this neat render of the UAZ-469, a Soviet-era off-road vehicle that is still in...

Fare Dodging
Fare dodging is the preserve of the terminally shifty. But not today, because Flickr’s mahjqa (a TLCB Master MOCer no less) is the creator of this excellent steam locomotive, and has released building...

Smoking Silhouette
Lancia’s magnificent mid-engined Stratos is one of World Rallying’s most famous cars, winning the Championship three years in a row from 1974 to ’76. But less well known is that the Stratos lived...

MAZter Builder
This tremendous machine is a Soviet-era MAZ-537L, an 8×8 heavy ballast truck which – in this configuration – was designed to pull the Soviet Union’s largest aircraft. The exceptional recreation of the...

Prime Time
It’s been a while since we last let TLCB Elves watch a ‘Transformers’ movie, but today they are doing just that, with previous bloggee SFH_Bricks to thank for another dose of Megan Fox. SFH’s...

Transiting
It a Transit van double here at The Lego Car Blog today, with two rather different examples of Ford’s ubiquitous workhorse. First up (above) is Versteinert‘s wonderful 7-wide 1970s face-lifted Mk1...

Coronet Cops
Not all American police cars were big, lumbering Ford Crown Victorias. Because this is a big, lumbering Dodge Cornet. It’s was a rather lovely thing too, with _Tiler‘s 6-wide Highway Patrol iteration...

Anthropomorphic Breadbins
Febrovery has barely begun and we’re already deep into weird purple trees and anthropomorphicised breadbins. Amongst the peculiar biology is Frost (aka TFDesigns!)‘s fantastical rover, a unique...

The Seventies Were Cool (II)
Despite not even being a sperm at the time, this TLCB Writer is of the opinion that seventies cars were all vastly better than anything made today. A point proven by the Ford Capri, which was once a...

Dalsey, Hillblom & Lynn
The chances are that the item on which you are sitting, reading these words, or wearing travelled at some point in the back of a truck like this. Founded in San Francisco in 1969 (with its name being...

Foot Fetish
This TLCB Writer doesn’t understand feet. Sure they’re there to hold you up and everthing, but to him they are functional only. Like a trachea. Or a spleen. But not today, because today’s he’s so into...
