Wow. Good review. Not quite epic, but pretty close.

Maybe the spare liftarms and pin joiners are used on the alternate model? Those are the only ones that stand out as odd in terms of extra parts. The rest are standard fare for extras: 1x1 rounds, 1x1 cheese slopes, technic pins, technic bushings, etc.

Excellent! I've added reversing lights on the rear! Now one day, I'll add some more custom features including a tow hitch! :P

I even moved the steering wheel to the right because Australia's cars drive on the left and so does Britan's! ;)

Lol! I think only US and Canada have the steering wheel on the left.

You are Lucky to have a dad like that. From your review it look like a great technic set.
My favorite Lego set has to be LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean Queen Anne's Revenge. It has a lot of pieces and is challenging.
