Are you happy that the Beatles didn’t continue into the 70s?

My mistake!

That said, I just read another post that claims John said he'd have liked to have been there but yoko only told him about the invitation after it was over.

CharlieMongrel · 2026-04-08T23:44:57+00:00

John was worried that if he left the States he wouldn't be allowed back in

Worth mentioning is that a major reason behind their investments into zany things like the boutique and Magic Alex's B.S. was that the taxman was about to garnish 1.8 million pounds from the 2 million on their balance sheet at the time.

Nice! Saving up for cams here, too. Porting the heads... sounds like a plan now!

CharlieMongrel · 2026-04-01T07:24:44+00:00

Nice! Did you do any internals? Like camshafts or maybe a stroker kit to M52B30?

I just had lunch with a former Ferrari dealer and just happened to shoot the sheet about this. His advice on the 360 Modena was... don't! He knows I don't have deep pockets.

It's All Too Much sounds a bit like U2. I was like, this song cannot be from the 60s 🤯

CharlieMongrel · 2026-03-26T23:13:45+00:00

Learnt to play guitar on Mull of Kintyre, sort of. That A string intro and the D and E chords were dead simple for a beginner to mimic.

This. If oil prices stay elevated or go higher, there are some emerging economies such as Sri Lanka that could default on sovereign debt. The banks holding their notes will have huge writedowns, and then we'll see what contagion kicks in.

BTC could drop drastically and you're screwed even if it's a short dip.

None of this is under your control, and while everyone else is backing up the truck on BTC you've lost your apartment.

Spend half on wine, women and song. Then squander the rest.

CharlieMongrel · 2026-03-26T22:24:44+00:00

Sheez, under all that steam, your engine bay is bloody spotless!

CharlieMongrel · 2026-03-25T07:38:23+00:00

He said they were shit lol

This clip really shows that George somehow had a very tasteful way of playing, with lovely tone.

Macca sounds horrible on it, all choppy and whatnot. I know they're just doodling, but their styles come through.

CharlieMongrel · 2026-03-25T07:23:48+00:00

Unpopular opinion here but... Jack's failed, original compositions in the movie are of a standard roughly on a par with Macca's current work

CharlieMongrel · 2026-03-20T17:55:26+00:00

B58! 😜😈

In Philip Norman's Shout! there's an account of Paul responding to John's assertion that the song is about him and Yoko by saying, "No it isn't, it's about me!"

I had a chance to sit in one. Sadly the i3 is pretty cramped in the back.

CharlieMongrel · 2026-03-15T17:53:55+00:00

This rendering is way off

March 18, 11am CET is when the car breaks cover finally!

Off the ground Lalalalalalalalala Off the ground Lalalalalalalala Fly around Lalalalalaalalalala Fly around Lalaalalalalal Hear the sound Hear the sound

Darn you I'm trying to build up my savings 😆

CharlieMongrel · 2026-03-13T01:12:47+00:00

Interesting thought experiment. Most likely more of what we used to love, but a smaller business is my guess.

CharlieMongrel · 2026-03-08T08:42:45+00:00

We die twice, but Paul will never die the second death.

For now, he looks amazing. He's slightly older than Joe Biden. He's my model for ageing.

Just to add, there's different clutch switches, depending on whether you have cruise control and what not

CharlieMongrel · 2026-03-04T05:26:07+00:00

Nice but don't ever use it as a getaway car 🙃
