Still have not found any wall space in the shed to hang it up yet. I wanted to drop it in the centre of the swimming pool so it would leave a kind of rusty silhouette, but she who must be obeyed said NO ::) looks good jack Title: Re: "shed art" Post by: Wayne on February 29, 2008, 05:56:19 PM Hi
I have the FE version of it got mine also at the All Holden Day Title: Re: "shed art" Post by: Harley on March 15, 2008, 10:26:05 PM Philistinism is a derogatory term used to describe a particular attitude or set of values. A person called a Philistine is said to despise or undervalue art, beauty, intellectual content, and/or spiritual values. Philistines are also said to be materialistic, to favor conventional social values unthinkingly, and to favor forms of art that have a cheap and easy appeal.
Philistinism affords a contrast to Bohemianism, as the character of a smugly conventional bourgeois social group perceived to lack all the desirably soulful 'bohemian' characteristics, especially an artistic temperament and a broad cultural horizon open to the avant-garde. To the chosen few, the 'Philistines' embodied a smug, anti-intellectual threatening majority, in the 'culture wars' of the 19th century. Hmmmmm - there ya go !!

How hard would it be to get an FC Ute one of those "art" things? Is there a link somewhere? Title: Re: "shed art" Post by: jack_fc on March 24, 2008, 02:34:53 PM paul, I got mine from here - www.wroughtironproductions.com.au (actually bought it at Vic AHD)
George is his name - very good to deal with; fairly confident he also does an FC ute cheers jack Title: Re: "shed art" Post by: pedro on March 24, 2008, 03:04:19 PM How could anyone who owned an FE/FC be classed as a philistine, they are obviously people who value beauty,art, class and all that other stuff or they would drive a ford.
Title: Re: "shed art" Post by: jack_fc on March 24, 2008, 03:15:56 PM well said, Pedro - I feel better now... (it was a bit of a shock being called a fillerstein; all me life i thort i was an ostrailyan)
