I thought I'd heard of most wacky automotive artistic expressions, but this one's definitely way out there!
A Chinese artist wants £80,000 for a BMW car that handles like a brick... as it's made out of hundreds of them.
Dai Geng spent more than a year cementing the brick blocks together which he then carved into a model of a sporty BMW Z4, which can exceed speeds of 150mph.
Except for the windows, everything is made from brick, even the hinges that allow the door to open and close just like metal ones.
Mr Dai even managed to make brick hinges so the doors can open and close.
. . .
He is hoping the car will be sold for use as a garden ornament and bought by one of the newly rich Chinese who regard BMW as extremely desirable because of the quality and performance.
There's more at the link.
A brick BMW? This may start a trend. What's next? A cement Chevy? A fiberglass Ford? A masonry Maserati? A plaster Pontiac? Oh, wait - Pontiac died last year, so that one won't work any more . . . although it might make a nice burial plot marker for the brand!

I'd like to park it on the street and watch them try to tow it!
