This one's nostalgic, I got this back in the day and used it once to upgrade the Nexo Knights Ultimate Robin 70333 into a full mech. Good times! Sadly I don't have pictures of it anymore.
Also it may look fast but don't let its appearance deceive you, this car arrived several hours late for the RSoTD presentation :P
I can't see why the article was not automatically posted at 2am today, but I've generated one manually.
Got 2 of them in a lot a year ago, still trying to sell the 2nd one
Another car not designed for minifigs that once seemed very oversized compared to minifig cars, but no longer does.
The use and placement of the Bohrok eyes, along with little rises of white underneath them, makes it look like someone actually just repurposed a Bohrok for this car. Nuparu’s designs are improving I see…
This is a surprisingly good looking car despite being "just" a Creator set. I have it but the parts are scattered and I can't remember if it fits minifigures - it sure looks like it does.
Bohrok Va or Bohrok V8?
Ah, I own this one! I got mine with a purchase of second hand Monster Fighters sets and ended up keeping it. It's a bit chunky, but it fits two minifigs and it's surprisingly robust! The alternate builds are cute too!
Out of this size and type of car from this era, this might be one of the best. I just love it!
And like @Watcher21 I also got a second one later, from a job lot. I'm not sure if I've ever been able to sell it.
Remember getting this as a gift. Loved it and I still have it
I have happy memories of this set, I was on holidays back in 2013 and popped into an Aldi in Germany and spotted it. I only recently took it apart and bagged it up ... with the intention of making it again in a few years to remind me of that great holiday.
VROOOM!!!
I don't know if I still have original box and spare parts, but classic car model still sits on the glass sideboard in our house.
Little surprised I didn't get this one. Blue's my favorite color and the alt models look cool,especially the vintage roadster.

I had one in a lot as well, I only got £3 on ebay for it, better off braking down for parts
@mr_Fikou:
Have you ever ordered a car to be delivered to your home, and when the truck arrives to drop it off, they just start unloading boxes full of parts? Fast doesn’t mean anything if you have to assemble it first.

Tyr-lok?

@Binnekamp
Ty both for advice, I might give it one last run before mine also becomes spare parts.
Amazing to think how much Speed Champions has advanced the state of the art given this model is in the same 8-wide scale. Cute set, but definitely "vintage" compared to what we have today. On the other hand, I love the included functionality of working doors on this one. I don't think any of the SC do that.
@ra226:
I think the dragster has an accurate amount of doors. Does that count?
^ I'll allow it!
