I once built a big land vehicle. I made up this story for it:
In the far, far away galaxies, lies a planet known as Desertron. It is an
almost dead planet. The surface consists of 100% sand. Huge sand-storms rage
over the sandy surface, and the atmosphere is barely breathable. Those who
live there are space travellers who crashed there. The planet contains huge
caves full with diamonds, and that is what the Desertrons do for a living.
New ships crash all the time, so they have to have something to locate them.
That´s where my vehicle comes in. It has a radar, a double cockpii similar
to the one in the Galactic Mediator, a small spacecraft, and six huge
wheels.
