RE: Bull On A Wire: Lamborghini As Art

Looks amazing...
So, how much is a real Countach?

[ceriw]

I really have no idea why that is considered 'art'. And 40k is the usual totally random piss take that usually accompanies dreary pieces of shallow sculpture in order to enhance the piece with some mystic quality.
It might pass as a piece of kinetic art, put then the 'fabricator' would be taking the piss out of himself. Given it's a static piece of something mobile (!)
And failed architects -as this chump is- aren't likely to be able to do that.

this was/is in the hoxton hotel if anyone wants a looksy

Correct.

In a moment of pissed bravado I tried to 'sit' in the drivers seat. Looked like a kid on a climbing frame. Promptly escorted out by the most undercover of undercover bouncers.

Good times.

The Lamborghini Koenig Countach is currently on display at the Classic Car Club on Old Street

It was about a year ago, not been back since then. Not there last week!!!

I like this a lot. The fluorescent paint adds a very interesting dimension.

Others are right, Clarkson and crew missed a trick with this.

[VPower]

I think the above comments reveal more about PH'ers than you think.

More positive comments about a facsimile that the real thing!

Don't dream lads!! Got out an do some driving!

[Libertine]

I think it would have looked cleaner based on the LP400..

Would like to see in "in the metal", just to see if it looks as freaky as it does in the photos.

Superb! He should do an Ariel Atom next...

[glamdring]

£40k? Cock. As if.

Someone allegedly paid £50m for a DH skull with bling glued to it.

[Hellbound]

Pliers; check.
Wire; check.
Soldering iron; check.

Stand back guys...you're about to witness something very special...

Aye - A consortium including DH.
If you did that with shares you'd get jailed.

Take the few panels of the real one, paint it fluorescent?

If I could afford a dwelling large enough, with enough empty space to do the piece justice, then £40k isn't really that much as a percentage of my imaginary wealth.

If I won the lottery, £40k wouldn't be that much at the end of the day, and I'd consider it.

I think it would look ace as a centre piece to the entrance of a large house from my lottery win ....... Alternatively, I might be considered to be Michael Carroll the second, and the height of bad taste

[ironictwist]

I'd pay £15k maybe...

£40 isn't a million miles away from the real thing in my view <3

Nah...If you are going to do it...

Sell this one and 1 or 2 more to art collectors and than get the REAL thing.

That is my suggestion to the artist.

Anyone remember Automan?! PMSL

Love it though. This wireframe Lambo, not Automan...

Funny you should say that, I was going to make exactly the same comment. Shame on Pistonheads for drawing a comparison to Tron rather than remembering the true petrol head's classic that is Automan lol
