Yes, I want people to make the smallest Front Wheel Drive system with
independent suspension on both wheels that is possible without using special
parts. Since I dont have the parts from set #8880 or #8466 I dont know how
small they can be made.

If you are some experienced in MLcad / Ldraw you can make your own special
part there. I've not tried that yet. I have used AutoCad and 3D-Studio
before so I think I will try to draw some special parts there first.

That was a good and compact one. But as you said no drive system.

In MLcad goto menu "File" - "Save Pictrure(s)", choose "Snapshot" and adjust
the other settings you want, like picture size and format. Normaly 1024x768
JPG is good enough.
Then press the "OK" button and you can name the file and placing of the
file.
