I was thinkin' the wheels and the landscape looked cool. Adding a normal 
{ bumps scale <0.1, 0.1, 0.1> } to the wheels and turning down the 
specular a bit might make it look more like rubber too.

I think it looks great! :-) I'm not sure what some of the circular spots 
are yet, though -- I was thinking they were shadows at first.

Also, you'll find reflective spheres look better if they have just a bit 
less than 1 reflection -- in nature, reflection 1 is not possible (not 
even with a mirror) and the eye can see that. Plus, it adds a little bit 
of depth too.

Aw :-( IMBJR isn't the /only/ guy who wants to see blood and guts (as 
long it is green!) :-P
