semis means more maintenance... Hmmmmm...




These megaprojects are great for "who's got the biggest?" competitions (which in some circles is justification enough), but are they really
cost-effective?

I had an idea the other day about just this sort of thing (mid-size transporters), and I think I've found the perfect response: Has anybody
thought about building the Space: 1999 Eagle?
