My First Pick-Up

Fiat Cinquecento may have been a running joke throughout the series, but it was also perfectly accurate for most of us. Imagine our surprise then, when newcomer and Italian builder brittle.lime.joint / CaptainSerMig recreated his first car in Lego form and it wasn’t a crappy little Fiat.

No, his first wheels were all driven, coming attached to a third-generation Mitsubishi L200 double-cab pick-up. Which is about a thousand times cooler than whatever we were driving in our late teens.

Brittle’s brick-built replica of his first car includes working steering, accurate independent front and leaf-spring rear suspension, plus opening doors, hood and tailgate, and there’s more of his model to see at both Eurobricks and Flickr.
