Ladies and gentlemen...

I am proud to present to you the 76 Advanced Transport XL series! Yep, folks, it's my entry into the contest with . Complety made from scratch and with a little tribute to one of my heroes of the eighties.

Let me tell ya about this puppy:
- The tires are filled with a hydraulic fluid / iron filing slush. Tire 'pressure' is control through variable electro-magnetic charge.
- Propulsion is by means of four computer controlled electric motors inside the rear wheel rims. Besides propulsion, they also act as brakes, traction control, anti-blocking and differential. All without any extra moving parts.
- The rear wheels turn to assist steering.
- Electrical power is achieved by two hydrogen powered gas turbines in the rear chassis.
- Noise reduction is done by mixing 'cold' outside air with the hot exhaust gasses inside rear mounted heat exchangers.
- Hydrogen storage is on the lower, back end of the cab.
- The front wheel has a disc brake inside the rim to ensure sufficient downforce on main steering during braking.
- The conventional looking exhaust on the side of the aft chassis is actually the equipment cooling exhaust port (clean air).
- Top mounted spoiler can be adjusted for optimum airflow over trailer.
- There are no rear view mirrors to spoil airflow. External camera's provide a 360 degree view.
- The trailer has an aerodynamic shape to reduce drag.
- If you buy the full options package, you get a free pair of fuzzy dice in the mirror!

PS Kudos to whom spots the ref first.
