The VW Lightmobile was the first in the urban UFOs series created by Eric Staller in 1985 that was covered with 1659 lamps and computerized to produce 20 different patterns of light flowing over the car. I should have had this amazing art car on Art Car Central from day one, but better late than never.

I got an email from Neil Johnston a while back about his Abosulutely Fablon art car in the Ramshackle Rally - Valencia 2009 with a crazy 70's paint job and a working disco ball mounted on the roof that works its best magic at night. Hi art car is 1984 Mercedes 230E W123 which by they way is for sale on ebay right now for only £995.00, if you are feeling that kind of groove.
The Ramshackle rally includes 100 teams on a 1450 mile journey through 5 countries in 4 days, 2 mountain ranges, 1 winner, with 0 common sense! They hopefully end up safe and sound at the Valencia tomato festival were they join 40,000 other tomato throwing participants. They are given challenges on their way in order to get the most points to win some sort of prize.
The Neils epic journey can be best seen an experienced in this great video of this years Ramshackle Rally. Thanks Neil, hope you had a great time!!!
