The Batmobile mentioned on the blog the other week has been auctioned off; the car was built to tour the USA in the 1960s, promoting the Adam West Batman TV series. The BBC reports that it was expected to go for around £75K but actually went for almost £120K. Holy humungous bids, Batman! Do you think the Caped Crusader will take the money and retire? Then again that large sum is probably pocket money to Bruce Wayne I suppose. I just hope it crops up on Top Gear, I want to see the Stig in the Batmobile.

I feel the urge building to do a little Bat-dance around my desk now; this is not normal behaviour for your erstwhile blogger, of course – normally I do the Snoopy Dance.

Does anybody know who bought the Batmobile? Searched the web but it seems like the winner disapeared… perhaps it was a joke(r)
