I was wondering how many there are in the LLF mini fleet, so if you've built one post a pic or just a reply in here and we might be able to get Paul, the designer, to allocate official build numbers to each landyacht.

Perhaps also include a link to your build thread if you wrote one.

To answer a question I have received, - if you're prepared to give credit to Pauls design for at least part of your mini (even if its just the specs), then you're welcome to post it here. It might be useful for others if you describe the reasons and benefits for varying from the original plans.

aus230 mini was built in the same spirit as the Lake Lefroy mini but I guess I can not help myself and have to muck around and change things, It can now take wheel barrow wheels to conform with the new mini rules (prefer the 20" but thems the breaks)

Another crazy hybrid idea. Believe me, it did not have to be this complicated, but I had a hell of a lot of fun building it and learnt heaps along the way.

Diablo (Cisco's Horse) built to the LLF Mini Plans except for a few minor mods.

Two of the mods (45 degree seat rear and 1 inch solid axles) will be reverted to original design.

As you can see in the video, my ballet training held me in good stead, allowing me toperform a perfect pirouette. Shame about the landing. Guess that will often happen when you chase a willy-willy.
