Paul Baulch: "The alternate model's steering leaves a bit to be desired."
Ronald Vallenduuk: "So we have better Supercars now. This still remains a childhood favorite... And I finally got it! (6-4-02) BTW, why is this not in the Technic category?"
Jan Katanek: "the box shows a suspension that has never been released like that. Exists with chrome faucests, too (like 8858)"
Thomas Fulk, Jr.: "A neat set, I remember seeing them in the catalogs as a kid and wanting one. Finally got it at age 25"
Mike Westpy: "One of my fav technic sets ever, maybe not the most difficult, but fun to tinker with and make new drive systems..."
Vincent Demmink: "My first one !!"
Andreas Engel: "this is one of my favourites"
Seth McCarus: "I like this much more than 956."
Svend Eisenhardt: "My 35-years birthday present"
Martin Bruun: "Fun to build. The steering-geometri is perfect. It's one of my favourite sets."
Dean Maher: "A very techical set for its time. Includes 3 speed G Box, Diff, very funtional model."
Andy Blake: "really nice set, one of my first so I had to get another"
Iain Kirkpatrick: "Classic technic at its best. Clearly demonstrates what can be done with standard parts. Robust with lost of functions. A favourite throughout my childhood."
Lance Hopenwasser: "One of my late childhood favorites. It was complex enough to be challenging to build, but sturdy enough to race around the house. Even in the dark years, I had this one as a display piece."
Steve Mitchell: "The best of the technic sets"
Adam Revell: "It took me forever to save up for as a child, but still one of my fav's"
Stéphane Simard: "Like so many folks here, the ONE set I dreamed of having as a kid. Lived to all my expectations."
Jennifer Clark: "One of the best - astonishingly good in its day, worth building even now."
Carsten B. Thomsen: "The 8860 represents quite an invention, compared to 3 years older 853/956 Car Chassis. Couldn't imagine building mine today - I fell in love with the liftarms, panels, flex axles and ribbed hoses :-)."
Mark R. Nash: "lovely basic set from which to build. (Boxed and complete)"
Dennis Bosman: "This is one of the best LEGO sets ever. I first built it when I was only seven years old. I really was amazed by this model and I still am."
Adrian Esdaile: "10th xmas. Still have parts, 2 wheel hubs broken"
Olof Dahlberg: "Well, this is the best set from my childhood, full points"
Svanbom: "One of my favourites. I saved money for about 1 year to by it."
Olli Mäkinen: "Like others, I saved a long time for this. A wonderful set, it's hard to find anything wrong with it. Okay, the springs aren't quite strong enough to push the chassis up after being pressed down."
Tim (Smith): "Important step in the evolution of the super car. Not as detailed or functional as newer models, but still great fun. Transmission is a little clunky, but..."
Dave Micklon: "The best Technic set ever! I loved this set in Xmas '81 immensely, taking a lot of that day to build it. May rank in my all-time top 10 of any LEGO set of mine."
Ben Carlisle: "Missing a few / some broken pieces"
Jussi Koukku: "Oh memories. Will build this again some day."
Richard Kloosterboer: "got the 1st one on my bd in 1985, the 2nd on eBay in 2003, and the 3rd was incomplete parts in early 2007. My fave set"
