Ugh. Beatles fan and car obsessions don't meet for me.
I hate that gear head George lived through the Golden Age of American muscle cars and never owned one... especially since he had the money to do so. :(
I could see him screaming around in a Shelby Mustang or a Hemi powered ANYTHING. Bummer.
I think perhaps George may have felt much as I do. Fast is one thing, and ugly is another. As much as the European car designs turn me off, it may well have been the same for him with American design.
I don't know when he began to pay attention to racing, but I would have guessed he would have at least been interested in the Ford GT40, Ford Cobra, and the Corvette lines. They all are ugly European design and did fantastically in European competition.
I like street machines, though. Road/track racing sucks. So boring. Drag racing is better... stock cars, the elite top fuels and shit do little for me.
Paul is the only one who helped himself to some nice boy's treats like a Corvette (he still owns it) and other cars I would love to drive. Though I do not like his Mercedes....I was never a fan of that car and I will never like it (whenever I have no choice and have to borrow my parent's Mercedes I tell my mother that I really hate that car....uuugh)
I wonder what George said about the Asian cars....not sure, but I think they came up in the 90ties.

Besides....this blue is not good looking at all...a royal blue, alright, but this??? No. That car is nice though....I'd love to own one.

Dare I say that it's possible George felt American cars were inferior? I'm not saying he actually thought that, but you bring up an interesting point.
