Lego Speed Champions – Ford Fiesta M-Sport WRC – 75885

April 10, 2018 by TomBoyNI

Everyone loves Lego, no matter their age Lego is truly a 1-100 product (maybe 4-100) even publications like Time claim it to be a better investment that gold. Generally there are two types of Lego people – the Collector and the Builder.

The Collector does just that – collects sets, puts them away somewhere safe and then, maybe, one days sells them for a profit – or at least hopes to.

Then you have the Builder – they tear the box open, tip out the contents and have fun building up whatever was inside.

I’m a bit of both- collecting and building. Some sets I put away, some I build and some I buy a pair of, one to build, one to collect.

This set : 75885, the Lego Speed Champions Ford Fiesta M-Sport WRC is one such set I doubled on. Why? Because I really wanted to build one and then I though it’s only £12.99 and there are an awful lot of both Ford and Lego enthusiasts so it would do no harm to buy a second and keep it pristine. Who knows someday it might be worth a bit more?

Now that you have done that I am sure, like me, you noticed a cheeky sneaky look at the new car coming for Gymkhana Nine – a Ford Focus RS RX.

Apparently it’s coming soon, i’d imagine that video will drop in 2017, but oh my life, how good does that Focus look! I’m not a Ford fan per se, but when that thing gets liveried, it is going to look epic!

Looking forward to it already!

2015 Adelaide Motorcycle Festival – Belfast

February 6, 2015 by TomBoyNI

It has been a year or two (2013 actually) since I have went near this show, but I ventured back today for a look with huge hopes that it had improved since my last visit.

Thankfully it has. I will address the 2 bad points firstly that I came away with today – firstly £12 entrance fee is just crazy. That is only slightly cheaper that the NEC’s Motorcycle Live which was simply outstanding. This show is more like a gathering of dealers, with a range of their bikes that they want to sell you. Nothing new, nothing revealed, just a load of nice and shiny bikes all in one place to tempt you out of a few hundred quid for the next 36 – 48 months, therefore I think it is a bit cheeky to be expected to pay such a high entrance fee to essentially enter a huge multi-manufacturer’s show room.

Secondly, on your way in you will pass by the ‘Jumble.’ Make sure you go in because there is simply some stunning vintage bikes and cars in here and a few interesting vendors. However Bad point 2 is also in here. Some of the vendors are just selling junk, and they genuinely don’t seem bothered.

My eye was taken by two quaint little signs, neither of which held any real world value, I just thought they would look rather cool in my garage. Heres’ how the conversation went….
