cyberpunky Posted 16November, 2013 Report Share Posted 16November, 2013 Ok I'll just come out and say it. I just dont get some *art*. Waste of a car IMO See article here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pocketscience Posted 16November, 2013 Report Share Posted 16November, 2013 A glossy red Porsche was an obvious choice for Fat Car, because the model popularly stands for excess. That's because it is monumentally expensive and typically bought by an A-grade tosspot Whew...! glad mine's not red... I honestly think that wasting a perfectly good car like that is an even better example of "excess"...! So, yeah - I'm with you on not getting it either..!

GC9911 Posted 16November, 2013 Report Share Posted 16November, 2013 Looks good in the flesh, absolutely worth it, it's art. Mind you I'm not sure it would have the same impact if it was based on a Falcodore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberpunky Posted 16November, 2013 Author Report Share Posted 16November, 2013 just feeds the stereo type of what Porsche owners are portrayed as IMO. I guess there are plenty of tosspot Porsche owners(and ferrari, Merc, BMW, etc) but I hate being lumped in with those guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeM Posted 16November, 2013 Report Share Posted 16November, 2013 Some people's taste hovers between their belt line and their thighs and behind them! Even that sliced cow in formaldehyde was more 'arty' than this abomination! Or am I just not cultured enough? Actually, that sliced cow was disgusting!

TINGY Posted 17November, 2013 Report Share Posted 17November, 2013 I guess there are plenty of tosspot Porsche owners(and ferrari, Merc, BMW, etc) but I hate being lumped in with those guys. There are plenty of tosspot Holden, Ford, Toyota, Peugeot, Citroen, Renault, etc, too. Just to name a couple more. Anyway it's just one person's interpretation and opinion, and I don't get it either.

OZ930 Posted 17November, 2013 Report Share Posted 17November, 2013 The only toss-pots in this poor excuse for art are the artist (term used loosely) and those that encourage this type of trendy crap. This type of idiot is himself jumping on the bandwagon of Porsche bashers and "the rich" without realising that he himself is in "the rich" category. This guy has done this to a couple of Porsches now, using the same idea, no imagination, no talent, stuck on an idea but milking it for all it is worth. $$$$$$$ Who, but "the rich" can afford to buy a Porsche and do this to it, making it useless for what it was designed for? How much did he get for this rubbish ? This guy is a trendy, hypocritical Toss-Pot and a businessman. Controversy = Free Advertising = Paying customers "maybe I should have put this in VENT" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tazzieman Posted 18November, 2013 Report Share Posted 18November, 2013 The museum's owner bought a brand new Porsche a few years back. But he does not fit the stereotype and is almost universally revered down here. He's put a fair bit back into his community. Modern art is modern art. You either get a woody over it - or like me , you don't. But plenty of well known artists and designers love their Porsches (and other stylish cars).

hugh Posted 19November, 2013 Report Share Posted 19November, 2013 I was thinking about checking this museum out during our trip in a couple of weeks. I might have to catch a taxi there If I was going to Tas I would have made it there for sure, for both some art & architecture - well worth the trip.

Guest Harold Posted 25November, 2013 Report Share Posted 25November, 2013 As I was told many years ago, "you can't put in what God left out". Guess he left a fair bit out of the bloke that thought this was a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mockney999 Posted 27November, 2013 Report Share Posted 27November, 2013 Not my 'cup of tea' at all, if its supposed to portray overexcess I think he's missed the mark.... but then again what do I know of art, my measure is I like it or I dont. In this case it's a thumbs down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tazzieman Posted 28November, 2013 Report Share Posted 28November, 2013 Who, but "the rich" can afford to buy a Porsche and do this to it, making it useless for what it was designed for? They bought a straight Boxster runner on Wheeler Dealer's for just One Thysand Pynds. They might have made more by getting Ed to do an arty museum job e.g. "worlds fastest bidet", rather than a brief fixerup for the next unsuspecting owner!
