Veeborg's Shape-Shifting 3S Bus w/ Power Functions

On his Flickr photostream, Veeborg (Vibor Cavor) posted 6 pictures and a video link showing his Lego Technic 3S Bus -- "A kind of futuristic bus which functions are mentioned in it's name. 3S stands for Sightseeing, Speed, Shapeshifting. To explain it better I had an idea to make a bus for tourists who want a whole new sightseeing experience. It would be fast and it would be a shapeshifter - it can be low for cruising the highway and it can be high when there is something interesting to be seen. As for that 2nd high position I don't know if you noticed it but passengers are in the same position when it transforms. They are not bent over following the slope that platform makes. Their seats are straight and since they are heightened they see all around better. That's why the roof is made of glass. The bus is shorter when in that mode so it's a perfect cruiser for the city streets crowded with cars. As for the construction it is very light even though there are 2 medium PF motors, one XL motor, battery box and 2 sensors. I had an idea in my head so it was done pretty fast. The body was a problem. I started to do a brick body but it failed every time. So I gave up and did a technic one and it works for me. I hope you like it."

Below is a photo sequence of the bus "shape-shifting" -- it is illustrated on this Flickr video.
