It’s The Lego Car Blog’s eleventh birthday, and we’re celebrating the only way we know how! By forgetting the actual date and then publishing a post with a numbered LEGO brick image stolen from the internet a few days late.

Since our first post way back in November of 2011 we’ve grown to become one of the internet’s favourite LEGO sites. Well, not one of its favourites, but certainly popular. OK, perhaps not popular either, but we’re known.

In fact nearly 8 million mostly-lost visitors have come to know us since that first post, with the Review Library, The Rise and Fall of MOCpages, and our Directory attracting the most eyeballs beyond the homepage.

Since our last also-forgotten birthday we’ve added hundreds more of your creations to the Archives, held an immensely mundane competition with BrickNerd, and added Russian ‘patriots’ to the list of those we receive hate mail from, alongside the American ones we’ve been receiving messages from for ages.

So as we march towards our teenage years we’d like to say a massive thank you to each and every one of you reading this brick-based nonsense. Without you this site would be nothing at all.

If you’re new here and you’d like to see what we’re up to, some good places to start can be found below;

• Review Library: Over one hundred reviews of LEGO sets, books and third-party products.
• Directory: The place to find links to other (usually much better) LEGO-related websites.
• Interviews: A TLCB Elf armed with a sharpened pencil can get even the most famous builders to talk…
• Feedback and Submission Suggestions: Let us know what you think. No, really.

Thank you for taking the time to visit us
