Hi there! :)
Seven years ago, my brother and I decided to build the miniature of the classic 8865 Test Car, as this particular set was always one of our favorites. As many of you, we have a very special connection with this set. When we were kids, we tried to replicate the front/middle section of the car -with the only reference of the LEGO® catalog from 1989- dozens of times...unsuccessfully! Our collection was small at that time, and our only dream was to have enough red technic bricks to build the red beast...
...we only have to look at this picture to remember why we're into LEGO®. The people behind these images -designers, photographers- were truly artists.
Probably, some of you remember our "Super Size Me #8865" from 2007:
...the thing is we had a lot of fun with this little model so we couldn't stop building more and more...!
Recently we decided to make building instructions of these old models, working in chronological order. We have just released the first set of instructions on MOCplans, the replica of the legendary 853 Super Car Chassis, released in 1977. This is how the cover looks:
We hope to release the other four "Super Size Me" instructions in the next weeks, we'll keep you updated on this.
If you're interested, you can find them following the link:

...next one: #8860!
See ya soon! :)
