And I could use some of those nice low profile 3 spoked silver wheels (which I
don't have any of). I wonder why LEGO makes so few low profile wheels? They
do so much to make a car look fast...
The problem with bigger scales is that you have to incorporate even more
detail...to the point where it becomes just as hard to fit :) I'm not sure I
have the Technic capabilities to do such a large model... I have, however,
skinned an 8880 (which became too heavy to roll around in anything but neutral
without making those aweful gear slip noises)

Thanks! I seem to build cars rather strangly...I invariably start by building
the front spoiler, and work toward the front steering. Then I build about half
of the floor pan and build up the dashboard, drive shaft (which in this case
contains the micromotor for steering), and door sills. Then I added the motor,
and differential. I built the taillights and other rear detail separately,
attached them to the back, and then connected the two sections with the wheel
wells, false engine, and roof. Somewhere in there I built the doors. So the
only thing left for the interior was the seats...at which point I didn't feel
like experimenting too much, so I stole the design from the Shell Ferrari promo
set (which also donated a few parts to the model). So where you just add
seats...I almost added everything but seats :)
