HA! What an absolute tosser. This prize winning idiot should never be trusted with a mop and bucket, never mind politics.

I have been trying to tell you this about what the Republicans are offering up to take over the house and senate. Lincoln would turn over in his grave if he knew.

I have to say we have a few conservative dandies. One running against Premier Ford of Ontario has hired Roger Stone of all people to run his election campaign. Stone was the one convicted on serveral charged but his friend Trump pardoned him.

John Lennon's Rolls Royce Limousine is a Psychedelic, Souped-Up Work of Art

Do you remember where you were on February 9, 1964? I do. I was 16 years old and living in West Vancouver. That evening, as my sister and I lay on the living room floor watching The Ed Sullivan Show, history was made. The Beatles performed live and the five songs they sang were burned into our collective consciousness. They played “All My Loving,” “Till There Was You,” “She Loves You,” “I Saw Her Standing There,” and “I Want to Hold Your Hand.”

What we saw on that black-and-white screen changed everything. The long hair, the infectious personalities, the sharp suits, the well-scrubbed faces, the audience of hysterical teenage girls, and the music... Beatlemania, broadcast live, right in our own home.

It was wonderful while it lasted. Now, the Beatles live on through their music—and some memorabilia that they left behind. One such piece of history is John Lennon’s Rolls Royce Phantom V Touring Limousine. Lennon commissioned additions to the 1965 classic such as a bed, custom paintwork and even a record player. The newly decorated yellow car was delivered to Lennon in 1967, just before the “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” album was released.

The Royal B.C. Museum in Victoria currently owns the iconic car. It was purchased at auction in 1985 for more than two million dollars by Canadian businessman Jim Pattison. He donated the Rolls to the province in 1992. It has been in the museum collection for nearly 30 years, but is usually kept in storage. It was on display in the lobby in 2016, and again for one day only in 2017. In January 2020, it was free for viewing daily for about six weeks in the museum lobby. What a treat!

Actually all the work including the bed was done at Rolls. 

Rolls now adays will do anything you ask for as long as your paying and can afford the wait time it takes. i think it was almost 2 years wait for John's.

No it wasn't Pete. The original car was built by Rolls and the extras done by the body specialists Mulliner Park Ward. Once the car was in Lennon's hands he had artist Steve Weaver paint it psychedelic, which upset Rolls no end. Rolls will not do anything you ask, not for any amount of money. They will consider all requests but if you think they will mount a statue of a blowjob on the front of the radiator, you're sadly mistaken.

I rarely see white-wall tires (tyres?) anymore.  My father never bought anything other, except for the old car he used on the weekends.

Only old people know what white walls are. Probably have to be special ordered now.

Just goes to show you how far Britain is back in the pack.

I still see a lot of them at the Friday night car show here in town. Will be starting again soon as the weather gets nicer.

With all the old classic cars they drive, white walls look better than just straight black.

When young people hear white walls they thing you are talking about one of the funny haircuts that are in style for them now. From the top of the ears down is shaved off down to the skin so the walls of their heads is white. Think even Tommy has gone to this style now.

Thank you, Major.  I was quite offended by PBA's reference to "old" people.  You saved me from a life of therapy.

I'm a huge fan of veteran and vintage Yank cars. They're flamboyant, outrageous at times but there's nothing quite like them. I like white wall tyres, they add a certain class to class. There is an industry in vintage tyres for vintage cars, road and racing. They look like the originals, with tyre patterns etc but are made of material that will keep them stuck to the road.

Biden is "done" like a dinner. Inflation, border security, Afghanistan withdrawal, energy dependence, vaccine mandates, crime wave, siding with teacher's union over parents, are all associated with the Biden legacy. Will he run again you ask? Well most doctors when examining a sick patient would call what Biden has is.............multiple organ failure & it is terminal. But wait................Biden is at least stubborn & persistent with a decades long pursuit of the presidency. He is not likely to quit on his own. Could we be doomed with another Biden/Trump clash in 2024. Like two old rams bashing heads on the slippery political slope.

More like the classic "comb over" & continue to believe that nobody notices the "cover-up."

Did you thing I was directing it to you young lady with the pearl nails? You know I'm the only good one here, right?

You notice I said old, not ancient my dear.

When you ask young guys where do you go to get your hair cut they will tell you the name of a hair dressers salon. I am glad to say I still go to the same barbershop that I started to go to after I retires fron the military.

Not the same barber thought as the first 3 than have all passed away.

Has Art been fooling around with the buttons. In the last couple of posts it has you and I down as quests

Who would have done it then I wonder. Still haven't had a reply about changing my avatar yet. Was suppose to take up to 24 hours for a reply but it's been a week now.
