Calm Chris Posted July 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 Sorry for the random size, I can't edit them another bug with vB ?? Anyway, monsters or would you drive a car with similar art. The stripe based one is sort of rather cool, but the rest devalue every car that's been painted on. Well that's what I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mook Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 I'd track one with something artistic on it, as long as the artistry didn't massively add to the value of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calm Chris Posted July 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 (edited) I'd track one with something artistic on it, as long as the artistry didn't massively add to the value of it. Then it could be hidden in a shed for 350 days a year As a daily driver, something that is parked on the drive, it would be wrong and in a funny sort of way very right. Devalue all the houses around, and be noticed everwhere you drive. I guess you would need to be "special" in an extroverted attention seeking way to even consider doing something similar. Where's TDK? Maybe he could do a run on DIY art cars. Combine the "art works" with the 18-30. Edited July 31, 2012 by Chri5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanG Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 I used to have one of those (model version)*. Used to sit on my desk at work in its Perspex case. I think they are really interesting, and to see the collection in real life would be pretty cool. * Someone stole it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a look at this site ART DRIVE! which is art, and works really nicely on an iPad. It gives full details and pictures, you have until the 4th August to get to Shoreditch. It's in a great location because Browns and The Axe are walking distance away. After hurting your eyes with cars, it's muff and a pint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipex Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 They've ruined some lovely cars imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garcon magnifique Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 I think they're great. Individual cars/works are down to personal taste obviously, but I love the concept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazza_g Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 I remember the Z4 art car being at Le Mans some years back - cool as funk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonC Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 I think they're great. Individual cars/works are down to personal taste obviously, but I love the concept. Same here, I too like the concept. The designs are not necessarily to my taste, but art is very personal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
