The car manufacturer commissioned artist Tommy Gunn to recreate Stonehenge using 18 scrap cars. The so-called Citihenge (it marks the launch of a new car called the Citigo) is on show at Potters Fields next to City Hall for the next two days, apparently on the confluence of "little known ley lines". Thenceforth, it will process around the country, bringing motoring mysticism to the masses.
