Thanks!  This is mostly a "Model Team" creation though, it doesn't have
quite as many of the Technic components Jennifer would include, nor does
it have a good Technic frame...although with a little more work, it
probably could.  We got kind of pressed for time though...I didn't
really want to spend the night at Adrian's place :)

Totally AbFab. Door handles and everything. Now all you need to
do is add a Mindstorms RCX to it: Autonomous Jeep! or, at least,
remote controlled.

Not sure if there's room for an RCX without taking out the back
seats...that would be quite a challenge.

Next, try a DeLorean DMC-12. There is someone who
has done one, but I'm not really happy with it; besides, it
was POV'd, not actual pictures of the model.

I've built the one from Back to the Future at a slightly smaller scale:
(since the DNS change for my site is still in limbo, here's the
BrickShelf gallery...)

The DMC is rather ugly, IMO, so I'll probably build some other cars
before I revisit it.
