I made an old favorite of mine... it's a great fidgeting toy - when i'm bored or want to relax i just drive it around the desk :P

Maybe somebody will find some stuff utilized in it usefull, maybe not.

Respectful to the old classic technic style. Well done!

Nah mate, you shouldn't stack all those bricks on top of each other like that; it's too heavy 

Jokes aside, it looks good, maybe a bit more system oriented than I would like, but still has technical elements to it. I was surprised to see the gear rack facing upside down, I never thought about doing that before.

Also, can I ask why you didn't use the proper frames for the motor, seeing as that would seem optimal in a system car like this?

Because then the gearbox wouldn't mount so nicely to the engine.

Funnily enough all the Transit vans I encounter are nice and shiny.  There are a few I see regularly in all shades of colours, including the metallic green that TLG used back in '01.
