Website of the Month – The Brothers Brick

We seem to have long months here at The Lego Car Blog; 7 months in and only 3 of these posts have made it onto the site. Nevermind, the Elves have been now been suitably kicked, er, we mean, redirected, and we have another group to show you, hurrah! This time it’s a rival blog (fulfilling a promise we made way back at the start of our car-blogging endeavor), and it’s probably the best Lego blog out there to boot.

The Brothers Brick

The Brothers Brick started way back in 2005, when AOL ruled the interweb, YouTube was but a month old, and Lehman Brothers were definitely absolutely positively making secure and wise investments. Most of you will be more than familiar with the work of this esteemed digital media engine, its penchant for beautiful landscapes, its blatant sci-fi bias, and… its disregard for anything with wheels.

In fact it was this disdain for transport related MOCs that triggered the creation of The Lego Car Blog. We wanted a blog to feed the huge Lego vehicle building community that had so far gone hungry. A hole was definitely there to be filled <insert your own dirty joke here>.

Now it seems the AFOL community has awoken to the vehicle-building scene. Both The Brothers Brick and the MOCpages Awards have started including vehicles in the mainstream, thanks largely to the brilliant creations you guys are uploading, which is also what gives us a reason for being.

So thank you Lego Car Blog reader, and if you’ve not checked them out yet, make sure you visit the guys that started the ball rolling in the first place…

No rhyming wit in today’s caption…

Yes that’s right! Thanks to you, our loyal readers, we’re halfway to six figures! 50,000 views, loads of comments, loads and loads of spam, and no Elf deaths yet! Picture courtesy of Sushi Rice.

25,000!

Just a few short months after the cages were opened and the Elves released, we’ve reached our first really big looking number!

25000

Today The Lego Car Blog passed 25,000 hits! Lego fans of almost 100 different nationalities, from Afghanistan to Vietnam, have visited this page, and our featured creations have been reposted on countless blogs, forums and pages around the world. We’ve deleted over 1000 spam comments and approved over 100 genuine ones, and reached 285 tags.

So a massive Thank You to you, the reader of this post, for being one of the 25,000! We hope you’ve enjoyed our posts and will be with us to share the next milestone number. Bring on six-figures!

The Lego Car Blog Team

Welcome!

Welcome to The Lego Car Blog!

We’ve decided that the lack of dedicated Lego car bloggery needs to be rectified, and this is the result.

As we get up and running  posts will start to appear, bringing the best Lego vehicles from around the world here for your perusal.

The Lego Car Blog Elves have been released from their cages and have started their never-ending and poorly paid search for the cream of the Lego car crop.

We also hope to throw in some set reviews written by our resident anoraks, and maybe share the odd website, group or rival blog with you too.

Thank you for stopping by, and we look forward to embedding Lego vehicles firmly in the Blogosphere.
