After two trips to the LEGO Brand Store; opening 24 blind bags I finally completed my 'DFB Series' collection!

 

My first trip was couple of weeks ago, I picked up 16 random bags and got 12 out of the 16. Today I also purchased 16 to get the remaining 4 after opening 8 blind bags in total I finally own a full set!

 

I'm glad I waited and didn't pay for the remaining four on the secondary market. Just have patience, I was lucky enough to got to the store as soon as they stocked them. The second time really helped having them in person as I could feel for the exact hair pieces of the missing Minifigures and had I ordered them online I wouldn't of had any luck.

 

How is your 'DFB Series' collection going?

Me and my wife have been together for more than 16 years (From dating to today). So this was the first thing that came to my mind when I read this week theme. I did not want to do the traditional "wedding band shot", so I decided to something more "mundane" and everyday. No union is complete before you "join" your toothbrush! Happy Monday.

Mini Cooper and Cooper S: 1961–1971

 

"Issigonis' friend John Cooper, owner of the Cooper Car Company and designer and builder of Formula One and rally cars, saw the potential of the Mini for competition. Issigonis was initially reluctant to see the Mini in the role of a performance car, but after John Cooper appealed to BMC management, the two men collaborated to create the Mini Cooper.

The Austin Mini Cooper and Morris Mini Cooper debuted in 1961.

 

The 848 cc (51.7 cu in) engine from the Morris Mini-Minor was given a longer stroke to increase capacity to 997 cubic centimetres (60.8 cu in) increasing power from 34 to 55 bhp (25 to 41 kW). The car featured a racing-tuned engine, twin SU carburettors, a closer-ratio gearbox and front disc brakes, uncommon at the time in a small car.

One thousand units of this version were commissioned by management, intended for and designed to meet the homologation rules of Group 2 rally racing.

The 997 cc engine was replaced by a shorter stroke 998 cc unit in 1964.

(...)

A more powerful Mini Cooper, dubbed the "S", was developed in tandem and released in 1963. Featuring a 1071 cc engine with a 70.61 mm bore and nitrided steel crankshaft and strengthened bottom end to allow further tuning; and larger servo-assisted disc brakes, 4,030 Cooper S cars were produced and sold until the model was updated in August 1964.

Cooper also produced two S models specifically for circuit racing in the under 1,000 cc and under 1,300 cc classes respectively, rated at 970 cc (59 cu in) and a 1,275 cc (77.8 cu in), both had a 70.61 mm (2.780 in) bore and both were also offered to the public. The smaller-engine model was not well received, and only 963 had been built when the model was discontinued in 1965.

The 1,275 cc Cooper S models continued in production until 1971.

(...)

In 1971, the Mini Cooper design was licensed in Italy by Innocenti and in 1973 to Spain by Authi (Automoviles de Turismo Hispano-Ingleses), which began to produce the Innocenti Mini Cooper 1300 and the Authi Mini Cooper 1300, respectively. The Cooper name was discontinued from the UK Mini range at this time."

DKW Schnellaster

 

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

"The DKW Schnellaster, also known as the DKW F89 L, was a van produced by DKW from 1949 to 1962. The model name Schnellaster translates from German to English as Rapid Transporter."(...)

 

(...) "The van was also produced in Vitoria, Spain, by Industrias del Motor S.A. (IMOSA) from 1954. In Spain, DKW became a common term for any van, and is still used today. The Spanish subsidiary also produced a modern successor with all new bodywork, introduced in 1963 and called the DKW F1000 L. This van started with the three-cylinder 981 cc two-stroke DKW engine, but later received a Mercedes-Benz Diesel engine and was finally renamed a Mercedes-Benz in 1975." (...)

Calm and collected Viri likes to sleep and nothing else. He can wearily wander to some food when he needs to. But by the time he gets round to the fruit that dropped somewhere near by it's rotten or fermented. Luckily Viri is a sleepy drunk and any stomach pains are drowned out with a happy snore.

Confederate flag bearer with pistol gets the drop on a union soldier II

Nixi stands out in the lonely icy homeland. With a vibration that sits between nerves and excitement he can be quite a handful when he finally bumps into a neighbour. With that combination of mindsets no one is really sure if the frequent blood often found in Nixi's fur is from excitement or something less positive...
