How is it possible to fit all four Beatles in an MGB?
Paul and Ringo in the seats, John and George in the ashtray.

There was passing in F1 at some point? You wouldn’t know it from the racing these days…

Hell, at least at the Indy there was skidding and exploding for a change…

Wow haven’t heard that one for over twenty years. I remember the album it was off. Always liked that song.
Delightfully cheesy film clip too.
George was a genuine F1 fan. Story was once he was at a Grand Prix and got talking to one of the drivers who didn’t recognise him. What do you do the driver asked? “I used to play in a band” george replied.

I’d forgotten that song too, though once he started hearing it I recognized it. It became a minor hit, but they don’t play it much these days.

Many years ago, in Adelaide during the F1 Grand Prix weekend, we were in a restaurant when in walked George Harrison and his good friend, Barry Sheene champion motor bike rider and fabulous V8 Supercar commentator
Everyone pretended not to notice them which was great – but it was hard not to go and get their autographs though
There, that’s my George Harrison story

Yeah, I remember that song from my college days. For some reason, those George Harrison songs from that specific time really sunk in deep, so that even now if I hear them (and it’s been years), I immediately think of Freshman year.
Good old George. I think he and Ringo may have been the smartest two Beatles after all.
