Super Awesome Micro Project Factoids

More than 500,000 LEGO pieces were used.
The car engine is made from standard Lego pieces and runs on air!
The engine has four orbital engines and a total of 256 pistons.
Top speed is not very fast, around 20-30km (We were scared of a lego explosion so we drove it slowly)
It was built in Romania and shipped to a secret location in suburban Melbourne.
It’s a Hot Rod design, mainly because hot rods are cool.
