OK, I've nearly finished the 8880 set in mpd form. It's missing 4 parts, however: 4x6plate with H shaped hole (6543) stick shift (6549) technic wheel (2998) technic tyre (2997) I could get by without the top two, but it doesn't really cut it without (...)

What is an optional line? These seem to be used for modeling curves, but I don't have a clue how to use them. While I'm asking, what is a BFC statement?
