The artists – Lyken, FiST, Syrkus, Rue 5, Death Rattles and Al White – are all from Glasgow's Independent Recoat Gallery, and spent six hours on their colorful designs.

Lamborghini Murcielago waves good-bye

It was a fitting farewell to one of the most audacious Lamborghinis ever built. A group of the most iconic V12 cars ever to put rubber to asphalt gathered at the factory in Sant'Agata Bolognese, Italy, for a special exhibition before escorting the last Murcielago, an LP 670-4 SuperVeloce, out of the Lamborghini Museum in a symbolic last ride. The 350GT was in attendance at the event, as was the futuristic Miura, a Countach and the fire-breathing Diablo, among others.
