I still have at my parents house the Lego Technic automobile (mid-late 80s) with standard shift transmission, reclining seats and working 4 cylinder engine.

Some of these builds are just crazy!

If anyone is interested in getting parts, or kit's, this is a great place to go: http://www.bricklink.com/
many of the hard to find kits, and parts in my Lego collection were found here.

wow, that is an awesome link!

My cousin had the car with the standard trans and 4cylinder engine. It had a differential also. very cool.....

I also have a mass collection of Knex too

I tend to make small impromptu furniture or holders out of it.

in college it became a book holder where each opening was sized for each book and was a certain depth to make sure I could grab them all. It sat in my truck's toolbox.

It was a small coffee table at one point. I put a old window drape over it lol.

Right now, Its another small holder only this time, It holds a dvd player, game console, and a multi input box with a tv sitting on top of it.

making a working steering system with knex except for putting a motor directly on a wheel is an interesting feat.

That is a great link. I have been a member for over a year now. You can set it up too email you when a part becomes available that is not currently in stock.
