I won a Lego building competition when I was a kid. I think I was ten or eleven years old. It was held at Casuarina Village Shopping Centre. They had row upon row of trestle tables set up with kids sitting either side, each with their own tub of Lego pieces. I ended up making a car with doors that pivoted upwards (there were Technics pieces in the tubs, which helped a lot) and then fanned outwards to become wings. The back of the car had some conical pieces sticking out like thrusters on a space shuttle. It was red. I called it the "Car Space Ship". Fucken awesome name. I ended up winning a coupla hundred bucks worth of Lego City (edit: I think that range was called Lego Town back then) products.

Unfortunately, I had to sell all of my Lego. I remember the lady that bought it all was really surprised that I'd let it go 'cause I'd amassed quite a collection. A good seven or eight years worth of Lego for a measly $170.
