Day 43.
Set 42106, stunt show.
A bonus pullback set from 2020, as the motorbike has a pullback function.
The truck has steering, and opening doors… the trailer converts into a ramp, and all this actually works!
You can get the motorbike to launch off the ramp, through the “flaming” hoop and land back on its wheels

Yes my wife….. but when she realised it’s cheaper than golf, she’s happy.

Day 48
From now on, I’m just going to list everything technic from the earliest. Missing out the ones I’ve already done.

So, set 8845 from 1981.

I forgot all about that one. Used to have it and should still have the bits to build it.

Could have been the first set with suspension?

I think the big black car chassis with suspension was earlier by about a year.

Ah yes could be right.
I'm sure that's the one where the instructions (or maybe the picture on the box) show suspension units made out of separate technic parts and springs. But the set actually came with the all in one suspension units. I reckon they were developed after the printing was done!!

Yes, that’s right. Was on the box print but not instructions. Set did indeed use the grey/black suspension part which is still being used in modern sets, although now is yellow/black with stiffer springs. (See Doms Charger and the red pick up earlier in thread)
