   I need help finding a MOC that someone did a few years ago.

I remember a bus that had a motor in the back and a steerable front axle. The front axle had magnets connected to it, facing downward, in such a way that it would follow a line of metal placed under a road plate. I believe that the builder simply taped Erector pieces to the underside of some road plates. When the motor was turned on, the bus would slowly drive along the roads and follow the line along streets and around corners in a big loop.

Does anyone else remember that bus? Can anyone help me find pictures?

Thanks,
