Lennon’s Azzuro 1965 Ferrari 330 GT 2+2 coupe was the first car the Beatle bought after passing his driving test in 1965 and this vintage auto will be among the lots at Bonhams Febuary 5, 2011, auction at the Grand Palais in Paris. The blue coupe carries a presale estimate $155,000 to $220,000. Guess I better warm up the jet......

Did You Know?
Here is my first installment of a new Daily Feature called "Did You Know?" Just a few quick notes and oddities that everyone should know.....
In 1974, Dino Martin, of Dino, Desi and Billy and son of crooner Dean Martin, is arrested for possession of eight machine-guns and a 14-foot antitank gun. He is arraigned and released the next day on $5,000 bail. Wonder what 'ole blue eyes' had to say about that.....
in 1976, Barry Manilow had the #1 record in the US with "I Write The Songs." Although he wrote many of his hits, he didn't write this one. In fact, Bruce Johnson of the Beach Boys did and Manilow has always been quick to point out that fact.
In 1994, Donny Osmond fought the Partridge Family's Danny Bonaduce in a charity boxing match in Chicago (Bonaduce wins a split decision). I actually have seen the fight, Donny got burned.....
And today is Chris Montez' birthday. He was born in 1943.
