Guess he is watching for that Blue shell to come lol.
^now that Lego has the Mario license, a Mario Kart series would be great! Of course knex did one but a lego one would be superior...
This guy needs to concentrate on where he’s going. He’s gonna run straight into “Light” 4463
I had set 6400-1: Go-Kart back then, same design as this.
I knew it. Minifigures are bad drivers!
About as simple as it gets with LEGO vehicles.

True but I always like to see sets that a kid can copy because that's the start of imagining and building
This is getting weird. I own every one of the last four random sets of the day. You spying on me Huwbot?
I remember this one (or a very similar one) from the old Lego Creator computer game.

"I got given this free with a restaurant meal when I was younger. I wasn't expecting it so to get given a Lego set by the waitress after eating was amazing. The set was also simple, but I found it very cool as a child as it had the all important minifigure and those tyres were super smooth and rolled well."
Was that a Little Chef restaurant, by any chance? Because I got 2849 from one of them, under pretty much the same circumstances, on one of our trips up to my grandparents in Scotland ^^ That was back when I was still new to Lego sets with minifigures, which made it... must have been one of the first five minifigs I owned.
Sets like that one, and this one, were always very simple: but like AddictedToStyrene says up there, they're often a pretty important stage in a kid's discovery of Lego; which makes, in hindsight, the simplicity just an important part of the nostalgia.
Too bad Lego don't make tiny sets like these available for purchase nowadays; I miss them. Though I guess CMFs fill that price point nowadays, instead?
An exclusive printed element (that 1x2 tile with the number on) in a rather obscure promotional set... Those were weird times^^
