Day 43.
Set 42106, stunt show.
A bonus pullback set from 2020, as the motorbike has a pullback function.
The truck has steering, and opening doors… the trailer converts into a ramp, and all this actually works!
You can get the motorbike to launch off the ramp, through the “flaming” hoop and land back on its wheels

Has anyone ever told you that you need to get out more ? ?

From now on, I’m just going to list everything technic from the earliest. Missing out the ones I’ve already done.

So, set 8845 from 1981.

Ah yes could be right.
I'm sure that's the one where the instructions (or maybe the picture on the box) show suspension units made out of separate technic parts and springs. But the set actually came with the all in one suspension units. I reckon they were developed after the printing was done!!

Yes, that’s right. Was on the box print but not instructions. Set did indeed use the grey/black suspension part which is still being used in modern sets, although now is yellow/black with stiffer springs. (See Doms Charger and the red pick up earlier in thread)
 
I've just re-bought set 8851 pneumatic digger. It's one I had years ago but bits have gone missing and the pneumatic lock went faulty.

Got the set in good condition complete with box and plastic inners for £43 which I though was a fair price.

Might build it this weekend.
 
Day 49
Set 8846, tow truck. Bit of a rarity I understand.
Dual winch towing rack on rear. Front winch operates by spare wheel.
One of the first to include the black friction pins, the old type that didn’t come apart very easily.

Day 51,

Set 8030, Universal set.

There were a few of these over the early years. Small sets with instructions for up to 5 models, showing an introduction to how the technical elements worked.

This is one of my originals and I’m looking out for the blue and yellow set of the same time. 8050 and 8090
