Greetings all.
First post
Briefly I am an AFOL with a love for Technic and now with time to thoroughly enjoy.
I bump an old topic but I just had to say a big thanks for the post. Recently I was very lucky to pick up set 8865, The Test Car (1988) yes, second hand but complete with instruction(no box).. After days admiring I decided to pull it down to clean as it was somewhat dusty. Like Rohan Beckett, I had some difficulty removing the friction pins and asked Google to discover this 2012 topic. Very informative and appreciated Off now to check out this place.
