I thought I had that set, but it turns out I have the McLaren Mercedes set from a while back. The minifigs in that one are generic, which is a bummer, because a scruffy Jense minifig would have been amusing. I combined it with some fairy elf poo poo my roommate got me as a joke, so it ended up being a fancy forest rave pit stop F1 diorama. It's decomm'd to storage now, alas.

Rocket Racer for MWDC 2017 Tsaedje posted:Originally all Lego people were yellow, but now some lines have skin tones because of all the licensed stuff they do. It's not correct that yellow=caucasian, but it is odd that they chose not to go with the skin colour minifigs for these models. But then they got the Petronas colour all wrong too, so who knows? Low effort branding, probably added late in the design process. My guess is Lego designed an F1 set and then did a deal with Mercedes to brand it. making the minifigs ethnicity-accurate like that would probably start getting into use-of-likeness rights with the drivers, and I'm not entirely certain Mercedes has a good hold on those (or is willing to use them.) I've seen several Mercedes-Benz commercials that toot all about their multiple WCC wins, and although they very clearly show Lewis' helmet being worn by the driver, they don't actually show his face or drop his name (or Nico's, or even Bottas')

The thought of Alonso being at Barber in Alabama makes me usually happy.

Wirth1000 posted:Aren't all Lego people yellow? Yeah, I was mostly joking, but upon further examination it seems the general Lego sets are mostly all yellow, but licensed sets can have different (pale, dark, whatever) skin figures. Notable rare dark ones were Lando Calrissian and Mace Windu, a guy from Prince of Persia, and some NBA ones. Looks like Finn from the new Star Wars got one too.

https://vimeo.com/214079981 Just finished doing an oil change and adding in some Lucas poo poo that was more glue than oil. Noise for people who like ~~MECHANICAL NOISES~~. Bone stock exhaust still sounds better than an F1 car. Bonus worst points to anybody who can guess what a terribly boring old beater it is.

Is it the chavs that sit down the end of our street revving their fiat puntos, Citroen saxos or Mazda MX-5s? I bet it's a MX-5

This thread is not the worst thread in SA. The wwe thread is a loving garbage fire. Alonso is going to do great at the Indys and it will be a cool sunday coming from the Scud win at Monaco.

The old 2.65 L turbo V8 rivals the old 3.0 L V10 in terms of best engine noise.
