BTW Nico, GREAT pictures of John and Yoko getting married! Now for an actual (maybe original) contribution from me!

Ok, maybe only a few of you John Lennon fans will be interested in this story:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/mosl...-restored.html

John Lennon's first car wasn't a Beetle (haha), it was a Ferrari! Apparently, someone has restored john Lennon's original Ferrari 330 GT 2. The article states:
"It's not a good vintage, but this one did belong to John Lennon. In fact, it was the first car he owned, as he didn’t take his driving test until after Beatles For Sale came out.
The papers reported it and the next morning every cash-hungry car dealer in Surrey was outside his house (Kenwood in Weybridge, bought for £20,000 seven months before). You can imagine the scene. He was offered Maseratis, an Aston Martin DB5 and an* E-Type Jag, but this is what he picked."







Now, you have to agree, it's a beautiful car, and I can understand why John was enamored by it. But he must have been disappointed, as he sold it less than a year later. But, in the end, the Rolls-Royce he decked out in psychedelia was a much better fit for him ;-)




awww…isn't Julian so cute here? Hmmm….wonder what happened? JK NICO!!!!
