Oct 4 2007Wire Lamborghini Is Slow, Must Be Pedaled
Sculptor Benedict Radcliffe and pedal car designer Ben Wilson showed off this wire Lamborghini at the Art Car Parade in Manchester last month. If you can't tell, it's made of wire. And has pedals to make it go. God, can you imagine all the bugs splattered on your face when you take that puppy out and let it rip at speeds in excess of 2-3 mph? Wow, what a joyride that would be. Needless to say, this is one Lamborghini that will not get you laid. Which, I thought, was the purpose of them in the first place.
One more of a cop warning these guys they're about to chop the toes off an oblivious woman with a sign, after the jump.

the two first posters are both wankers. worst and all..
with that said, i love the fact that the cop is walking up to them like that to see if he can go for a ride.

They're lucky they're not black. Then the cop would be going over there to racially profile them.
"Where'd you get the Lambo?"
"I built it."
"Step out of the car, boy."

I'd take that, then get some of that red plastic wrap and cover the car with it (*minus the windshield, of course*) -- that way it's still transparent, but it has a nice touch of red to it as well -- at least it'll LOOK like I'm going faster. :)
