I built a few vehicles for my city. I'm not a fan of Lego's propensity for sports cars and off-road vehicles - these are all vehicles you'd see every day on Irish roads. They've been works in progress for a long time, with some being designed in stud.io back in 2021. All were built this year between July and October. Some are based on very specific makes and models, others not so much.

More photos in the flickr album (also including stud.io renders of some vehicles that I haven't built).

My favourite is this keg truck, based on Guinness trucks commonly seen wherever there are pubs:

Another truck, representing a chain of Irish grocery stores. Usually the trucks have pictures on the sides but I just love brick lettering and a picture wouldn't be possible without a sticker. Nice excuse to use some dark turquoise as well :)

A Renault Clio (2007), based on my own car at the time:

The most instantly recognisable as a particular make/model - a Range Rover Classic, otherwise known as an amphibious exploring vehicle, a finisher car, a transporter of gods:

A Ford Transit Connect van:

An ambulance:

A modified ordinary road-going version of the Mini Cooper from set 85894:

And (admittedly I put a lot less effort into this one than any of the others) a Garda (police) car:

Some very nice vehicles! My favorite is the refrigerated Centra truck. The brickbuild letters look great and the colors really match the original (i just watched some pictures :laugh:) and it is always nice to see some dark turquoise, my favorite Lego color. I also like the Mini and ambulance!

Yea, the 5 stud wide city cars are good. They match with the City scale and give a bit more detail compared to the 4 stud wide counterparts =).
