An evolution of Mercedes’ team kit (part 3)
2018-2024 Tommy Hilfiger
A blessed partnership! I can yap for hours about it.
A great evolution of an already excellent team kit. Well-fitted outfits, great jackets, no crazy colours, overall an outfit that looked great on every single team member, irrespective of gender, shape or height. Special tribute to the wet shirts and the tight pants allowing us to enjoy Bono and James’ incredible bottoms!







#i can write an essay filled with filth about the white shirt alone#I have drooled and drooled#thank you Tommy Hilfiger design team#thank you Merc engineers for the modelling#thank you to the champagne sponsor#THANK YOU WORLD#formula 1#f1#Peter bonnington#Bono#Andrew Shovlin#James vowles#James Allison#Marcus Dudley#Lewis Hamilton#Merc crew#Merc fashion#Mercedes fashion#mercedes amg petronas

DOUBLE UGLY
E.J. Potter, often called the "Michigan Madman," was a legendary figure in the world of eccentric racing. Known for his unique and wild creations, Potter famously used an **Allison V12 aero engine** in his vehicles, including a notable prototype, the **V-3420**. This engine was essentially a "doubled" V-12, with two V-12 engines sharing a common crankcase, resulting in a beastly powerplant. Of the 157 units built, the only one that saw competition was Potter’s version, dubbed "**DOUBLE UGLY**" after an announcer criticized his single-Allison creation as "ugly."
Potter’s fearless spirit led him to push the limits of racing and engine power, often in his infamous tractor-pull specials. The story of his life and work continued to captivate enthusiasts even after his death, as his books, filled with unfiltered and raw tales, remained in demand.
There’s even a fascinating story of a Dutch team that took things to an extreme, installing **three** Allisons in their tractor. Talk about pushing the boundaries!

What are you guys' headcanons for what the foxes' majors would be? (as in alternative majors that you think they would take, not their canon ones)
#I'm actually just curious#personally I'm an english lit andrew truther tho I can also see him doing law#aaron seems like a civil engineering type of guy or pharmaceutical science maybe#I'd say physics for neil#history suits kevin too well so idk but perhaps archeology????#social work for renee? or maybe anthropology#wait actually neil also fits linguistics#I genuinely think allison would major in art history or architecture#dan: education#matt: geology (don't ask why)#nicky: philosophy or communications#I forgot katelyn#anyway I think she would do forensics tbh#aftg#all for the game

im signed up for an online english course with a professor who has actually some of the worst rate my professor reviews i have ever seen most of which talk about how she never replies to emails and/or didn’t start putting in grades until like the last two weeks of class and she’s currently refusing to even open the course until wednesday… head in hands
#the semester started today for reference#chesschats#the english chronicles#i tend to take english prof reviews w a grain of salt bc a lot of the time reading them im like this isn’t even that bad or i take the#class w them anyway and they’re literally perfectly fine or i even really like them. bc i am not a freshman or someone just taking it#for a gen ed and expecting to get an a out of it with zero time management skills or an understanding of basic academic writing#expectations lol. also just generally speaking it is always my easiest class of the semester so my perspective is a bit skewed. but i#don’t know abt this one folks i think i might actually be in trouble 💀#so anyway my plan was i’ll check out the course when it opens (bc most of the reviews ALSO talked abt how disorganized everything was and#how the rubrics weren’t clear on what assignments were supposed to actually be on?) and if it really looked that bad i would switch out#this english class for one on comics and graphic novels instead since they’re both async so might be a tad behind but altogether probably#no harm no foul since the deadline to switch out classes w no charge isn’t until friday#but um. this is not a good sign lol#i was actually initially planning on taking the comic/graphic novel one bc i missed this one (literature of american minorities) as an#option. but then i saw this and was like well the children’s lit class just had a unit on graphic novels and i don’t really feel like doing#more of that for an entire class rn. ALTHOUGH i will say i found out yesterday that maus and a memoir of allison bechdel are both on the#reading list which did almost tempt me to go back to it#but altogether i think this one would stretch my thinking and teach me more so ultimately decided on it. getting kinda 👀 abt it now though#particularly because this is a Hard semester for EEs it’s 11 credits of 12wk courses which is granted not as bad as most summer classes but#still accelerated and i have heard bad things abt two of those classes. and the async english courses are 6wk like do i really want to put#myself thru that on top of the near fulltime engineering course load… hm#and these are the only two english classes available for the summer at the 300-level (which i need for the minor) that aren’t centered on#teaching. except for another one on children’s lit but again just took a different one on children’s lit so don’t want that one either lmao

The article "Lockheed P-38 Lightning: Fork-Tailed Devil" by Friedrich Seiltgen, published on "The Armory Life," highlights the development and legacy of the P-38 Lightning, an innovative fighter aircraft designed by the U.S. Army Air Corps in 1937. The P-38, produced by Lockheed under the X-608 project led by Hall Hibbard and Clarence "Kelly" Johnson, was notable for its distinctive twin-engine, twin-fuselage design, which included a central nacelle for the pilot and weaponry. Despite initial engineering challenges, the aircraft became a formidable opponent during World War II, earning the nickname "fork-tailed devil" from German adversaries. It played varied roles such as a fighter bomber and reconnaissance aircraft across African, European, and Pacific theaters, with notable contributions including the interception of Japanese Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto. The article also covers the technical evolution of the P-38, its combat success, and its role in ending World War II, marking it as a historically significant aircraft with over 10,000 units produced.

An evolution of Mercedes’ team kit (part 2)
2015-2017 Hugo Boss
The white shirt and fitted, non-cargo, trousers were a massive improvement. Wonderfully dapper jumpers and jackets. Very James Bond. Somewhat unnecessarily tight blouses for women that needed improvement. Special tribute goes to the Mercedes wet shirt! Thank you to the models who drenched themselves in champagne and made us have some wet dreams!










#the fuck do you mean I have a thing for old men in wet shirts#thank you Hugo boss design team#thank you Mercedes marketing team#thank you drivers for drenching your engineers in champagne#thank you everyone for the wetness#James vowles#Andrew Shovlin#James Allison#Peter bonnington#Bono#mercedes amg petronas#Mercedes f1#merc crew#Mercedes team#formula 1#f1#merc fashion#Mercedes fashion

I think this one is from the tail end of "summer" of 2015. Really, it was just an urge to have a wee mix and is one of those 'hit record and see what happens' moments, using the Traktor controller which was still very new to me. The title was plucked from thin air, based on the fact it had been a very wet summer and the image was as simple as point my phone at the window and pressing 'click'. There's really no back story, but that's the back story.

ROBO-MATES
In a future where humans utilize, hire, and even befriend machines, an eccentric engineer is looking to find a robot partner of her own. (Her classmates laughed at her back in kindergarten for even the idea- but look at the world now.)
However, her methods for getting a robot love are quite... extreme. She developed a program called Robo Mates, which allowed people to share robots to quote unquote "be paired with their one true match", when in actuality all the robots went to her.
With her being picky however most of the robots ended up killed in the end. And the engineer still ends up with most of the funds.
But two strange events happen: one, she comes across a busted robot in a dumpster who she calls Blue Betty- B.B. for short, and who she thinks is the one after all the failures.
The second strange event? B.B. seems to be in love with the engineer's sane friend, Allison... and much to the Engineer's shagrin, Allison seems to feel the same.
Of course, if she's killed dozens of robots to find her one true love, one measly friend won't stand in the way, either.
Rated TV-14 for violence (and some dialogue).
