Thanks! In Charlotte.



Here are some from today...













Drove up to the newish Hendrick automall on the northside of town to see if they had a ballast. It's 600 for a new one so I'm going to be looking for a used one haha. Popped off one pic with a fresh IS-F. Still haven't ordered any parts for it yet.

No, I don't. I work for Carlsberg and I am actually producing Coca Cola products I know it sounds weird, but Carlsberg has a very large market in Denmark, so they also has a lot of rights of several products

I live approx 45 mins away from the LEGO factory though

Nice! I figured i would ask since Denmark is rather small. I love LEGO and know the headquarters is there in Billund.
