(...) You would, by any chance, have instructions of your version in works, right??? Just like you I'm starting to see the 8653 as a bit of a let down too (doesn't look like they put a transmission either). Adr. (20 years ago, 15-Feb-05, to lugnet.technic)

Han of God steering is basically a wheel that is on the outside of the car that you can steer it with, without having to fiddle around with the steering wheel inside of the car. Here are some examples: (URL) of my systems work with the steering (...) (20 years ago, 15-Feb-05, to lugnet.technic)

The 8653 set does in fact have a V12 engine(light gray cylinder blocks) If you look in the rear hatch, you can also see 2 yellow axle extenders that are taking place of where the shocks are supposed to be(I guess for the visual effect of shocks). (...) (20 years ago, 15-Feb-05, to lugnet.technic)

Does anyone know where the name "bulldozer" came from? Is it because they do the work that bulls on a farm used to do and therefore give the bulls no other alternative but to "doze" (sleep) all day? (20 years ago, 14-Feb-05, to lugnet.technic)
