Icelandic Insanity

Lego Formula Off Road

The list of things to come out of Iceland that we’d like here in our home nation is quite a small one. Sigur Ros, Of Monsters and Men and – if we’re feeling a bit weird – Björk in the musical category, and Unnur Birna Vilhjálmsdóttir in probably everything else (Google her…). But one thing we’d definitely like is Iceland’s insane Formula Off-Road racing, in which 1600hp space-framed monsters blast up (and regularly crash down) Iceland’s huge volcanic cliffs in the slim hope of reaching the summit.

This excellent remote control Technic version has been constructed by Dalafik of Brickshelf. With all-wheel-drive, balloon tyres and a fantastic roll-cage it looks just the thing for a mini-Formula Off-Road event staged on TLCB’s garden rockery. You can see more on Brickshelf at the link above. Once you’ve Googled Unnur Birna Vilhjálmsdóttir of course.

Last week one of you, our readers, became the 250,000th person to visit The Lego Car Blog! That’s nearly the population of Iceland! As a present to ourselves we’ll be upgrading to ‘pro’ at some point soon, meaning we’ll drop the ‘wordpress’ from our site address and possibly also earn advertising revenue, although we’re still weighing that one up.

Anyhow, thank you hugely for your readership, we hope you continue to enjoy the Elves’ findings, and as always you can give us your feedback and submission suggestions via the link in the top menu. If you’re interested in writing for us let us know too, as we’re open to new authors and sources.

Onwards to a million!
