On MOCpages, Senator Chinchilla recently posted 34 pictures of his Lego Technic supercar -- a BIG, old-style (studded) De Tomaso Pantera. :cry_happy: It has "...Working independant suspension, steering, doors, trunk, hood, parcel shelf (over the engine), lights, pedals, shifters, etc...." Here are the highlights:

"When you press the brake pedal, something special happens! (This is currently just some photo mashing stuff, but once I get 2 Lego extension cords, this will really work in the car. As of now, this is just me pushing the unpowered brake switch and the battery box hooked directly up the the brake lights.) It has running lights and brake lights at the back, so you can tell between night-time driving and stopping":

Fantastic stuff! Especially how the subtle chassis curvature is done, so characteristic of the original.

Wow, impressive work there! I know some people who would REALLY love the mating of System and Technic! Mad props here.
