Carhenge

It’s nice to have some trees and flowers in the garden, perhaps even some little gnomes or something similar…

But Stonehenge made of cars?

Artist Jim Reinders constructed the…artwork…in 1987 in rural Nebraska in America, and it’s recently been put on sale for $300,000. That’s about £186,294.

Every year around 100,000 visitor come to gaze at this – ehem – 24-year-old wonder, which shares exactly the same dimensions as the ancient stone original in the UK, but the group which owns it (Friends of Carhenge) can no longer afford to maintain the structure.

The Wyoming estate agent in charge of selling this odd piece, which is entirely built from American cars, states, “Carhenge's uniqueness, novelty and unusual components continue to draw the attention of film and television production crews as well as over 80,000 tourists from all over the world.

“As the second most popular tourist site in Nebraska, Carhenge provides a tremendous ownership opportunity for entrepreneurs.”

Well that may be but I’m afraid you won’t catch me buying it, I don’t have enough space for one thing! Sorry Friends of Carhenge…
