Yeah sorry about the large photos, it was only after that i uploaded them that i realized they were so big. yes the rear also has independent suspension (I wonder why i didn't take a picture of that).

(...) Very cool. I like the pop-out lasers, though they look like they might be a bit tricky to actually pull out. I've never tried putting those windows together that way because of the thick roof, but you made it work well. The shape reminds me of (...) (19 years ago, 11-Jan-06, to lugnet.space, FTX)
