I'm actually a truck driver and I could see myself driving this gem...Of course the lego version. My truck has only 425HP with a 13 gears tranny (...)

| Hi Anders, This one gets my highest praise: When I saw the thumbnail on Brickshelf I didn't think it was LEGO, but instead assumed it was a photo of the real truck, perhaps as a building reference.
