Oooops!There's been a little mistake by me...I tought that Tore was speaking
about the van...
In Italy we call the DS "squalo" that means "shark".What does "toad" mean?

Yes.

No,there's no standard wheels in it.Both front and rear wheels are made with a
slick tyre around a 1x1 "button"piece (two ones for front wheels).
Front wheels are fixed to a technic half-peg (the one with a stud) and rear
wheels to a technic 3/4 peg (dark grey one).Those peg rotate in the hole of
technic bricks. In particular the technic brick for front wheels is
upside-down,this allowing the different height of body between front and back.
Building instructions,anyway,are arriving.

Gianluca
