Four stages: the car, the art, the wall and the gift

  1. The carWhat the numbers on the spec sheet actually measure, how the engine breathes, and which of these words mean anything at all.
  2. The artThe picture itself. One from the collection, your own car repainted from a photograph, or that photograph printed as it is.
  3. The wallSize, frame and room. What each format does to the same picture, and which one the wall in question actually wants.
  4. The giftBuying it for somebody else: what a car obsessive already owns, and what they do not.
