Lamborghini hanging on the wall

Lamborghini Countach on the wall


A US millionaire, Richard Moriarty, has decorated a wall in his new $2 million dollar on Newport Beach with a full-sized 1974 Lamborghini Countach.

Now that's some artwork!

The engine-less - removed and transformed into an 'exotic' coffee table - Lambo was maneuvered into the luxury pad through a skylight by a 70-tonne crane and into the living room before the black and red Countach was mounted onto a wall.

As you can imagine, getting the Lamborghini into the house was no easy task and took about an hour, not to mention the months of planning, but the results speak for themselves and it certainly is the coolest wallpaper we've ever seen!

Porsche Carrera GT crashed


When F1 driver Lewis Hamilton was invited to be a guest on Top Gear's "Star in a reasonably-priced car" segment, he told Jeremy Clarkson that his dad still thinks he [Hamilton Snr] was the better driver.

Perhaps Anthony Hamilton was trying (too hard) to live up to the conception of his own imagination as he stepped in the cockpit of a rare Porsche Carrera GT and proceeded to lose control and spin the car 180 degrees, through a wooden fence and a thick hawthorn hedge before finally coming to a halt in a children’s playground.

Oh dear!

For a car which boasts a 0-100 km/h time of just 3.9 seconds and a reputation for snap oversteer, it certainly isn't a car to show-off in for a novice which is apparently what Hamilton Snr did according to witnesses.

"He was revving the engine of the Carrera GT but ended up overrevving it and lost control.”

Last but not least, the car was borrowed! How funny must the phone call to the owner have been then. Sure, his son earns enough dosh to buy a brand new Carrera GT for the owner many times over but sadly, it is no longer in production which means the badly damaged bodywork and undercarriage will have to be repaired.
