I wish my living room was big enough   Some millionaires decorate their mansions with rare paintings. Richard Moriarty bolted a 1974 Lamborghini to the wall of his Newport Beach estate.  Because Home Depot doesn't sell kits to hang cars as artwork, Moriarty hired a 70-ton crane to lower the Italian sports car through a skylight in his living room.  Earlier, the car's engine was removed and transformed into a "200-mph coffee table" for guests who prefer their drinks "shaken not stirred," said Moriarty, an heir to the family that developed South Coast Plaza. |

OK, supercar currently at the bottom of its value curve (with wing for added show-go-slow :- say £35k Crane hire and workmen to bolt t to his wall. :-say £4k That's some quality Darth Vader look Italian art on his wall for a pretty low figure in the art world! Hey, if you had a guest over who you didn't like you could fit solenoids to the doors and give them a remote controlled whack over the head  ;D |

Amazingly, it's not as original as you might think! This one:  Lives on the wall at Wolfsburg...it's actually a rotating wall, so sometimes it's inside the building and sometimes it isn't! |

My first thought was of that too! My second thought was that I'm way past overdue another visit to the Autostadt ;D |

Just down the road from Cirencester (well in Swindon actually) is a big yellow 70's building that used to be the UK HQ for Renault. They used to have a yellow Renault 14 hanging from the ceiling cos it was such a beautiful car it was a total work of art (or something).
I think it rusted through inside a week and fell off the hangers, killing the MD of Renault Uk who was standing underneath at teh time admiring its classic lines.
(That bit might not be true)
