50 years on: Isuzu Statesman de Ville by GMH, 1973. Making its debut 50 years ago at the 20th Tokyo Motor Show in October 1973. Isuzu's newly minted relationship with GM didn't just mean their cars and pick-ups being sold in Australia and the US. This was an attempt to give Isuzu a flagship luxury saloon for the lucrative government and diplomatic market in Japan. The cars were powered by Holden's 5 litre (308ci) V8 and were given fender mounted rear view mirrors to comply with Japanese regulations. They were heavily taxed for being imported and falling outside any tax breaks based on size and engine capacity thus only 246 were sold before the car was withdrawn from the Japanese market in 1974.

7月

7月のビッグニュースはこちら。新たな屋号で初めてのアルバムを発売しまして、これまた豪華なアーティストの方々に楽曲をたくさん提供いただいたのよね。前にもここで呟いたと思うんやけど、僕は「鍵」と「HAPPY」がお気に入り！サブスクでも絶賛配信中でございます。胸張って言えるけど、名盤です。

FENDER FLAGSHIP TOKYO原宿店で、僕が愛用しているストラトギターを展示していただきましてん。僕のギターといえばこれ！って思い浮かべるファンの子も多いんちゃうかなあ。みなさまに間近で見ていただく機会に恵まれて嬉しかった。ちょうど7月は指の手術もあってしばらく活動もお休みしていたものやから、きっとファンの子にも大喜びしてもらえたはず。いや、間違いなくそうでしょう。ご心配おかけしました、たくさん甘やかしてくれてありがとう。

安田、復活！思い返せば休止も復活も全部まとめてこの月やったね。インスタライブでみんなと一緒にご報告したんやけど、自然薯やってしばらくいじられてた気がする。笑い過ぎて僕泣いてもうた。どんなことがあっても湿っぽくならず、大爆笑で終われるなんて本当に幸せ。とても個人的なことやけど、すごく大切な出来事やったからここにも書き残しておこうかな。仲間って最高。

8月

夏には明確に終わりがあって、寂しくなれるから夏なんだ。って誰かが言っていた気がする。この曲は燃えるような夏の熱さも、去り際の儚さも感じられる素晴らしい楽曲なのではないかなあ。僕たちの愛するスカパラさんとコラボレーションですよ、たまらんでしょ。めちゃくちゃかっこいいの。MVの見どころはね、踊るスカパラさんです。愛おしいったらありゃしない。

お待っとさんでした。SUPER EIGHTによる超アリーナツアーが愛知から開幕！約3ヶ月の期間で全国6ヶ所にお邪魔しましたよ。前半は僕の指のこともあってギターでの演奏は厳しかったんやけど、それでもあたたかく迎え入れてくれてほんまに感謝でいっぱい。ありがとうね。普段は見られないようなメインボーカル安田章大を味わってもらえたなら幸せです。ちょっと語ってもいい？ここまで長く一緒にいると、周年を迎えたときにおめでたい気持ちの反面、どこかで不安にさせることもあるだろうと思っていて。一区切りの予感といいますか。キリのいい数字には祝福と旅立ちがつきものやから。ファンの子全員とまではいかんくても、きっと終わりというものを考えてしまう子もおったと思うの。でもね、僕たちはみんなの前に立ってひとりひとりと優しい約束がしたかったんですよ。まだまだ終わらないって、ただそれだけ。毎公演叫ぶように届けたと思う、嘘は言わないから信じてて。

9月

ロッキンひたちなかにSUPER EIGHT参戦！昨年に引き続き2度目です、ありがたい。僕たちのステージもうれしいことに大熱狂で最高の気分やったんやけど、ロッキンでもスカパラさんとコラボさせていただいたり、僕の中で幸せな思い出がまたひとつ増えた1日でございやした。お写真はね、めざましテレビのスタッフさんに作っていただいたかわいいめざましくんでっせ。∞マークの位置がそれぞれ違っていたり、めっちゃ凝ってるの。これには横山くんも超にっこり。すーぱーしょうた、名前に恥じない男で居たいもんやな！それとおーくらにね、ミニオンのフード付きタオル譲ってもらったんよ。ロッキン限定のやつ。僕がミニオン好きやからって！うれしなあ。

日本で一番あかるいお祭り、カミガタボーイズによるドリアイ！小学生のかわいい関西ジュニアたちから上は43歳まで、100名を超える関西勢がみなさまを愛でおもてなし。どうやった？僕は楽しい以外の感想が見つからなくて困ってる。しかもサプライズで我々の20周年をお祝いしていただいたのよ、愛に溺れそうやった。感動。メンバーカラーの綺麗なお花を片手に大好きな後輩たちに囲まれて、お客さんからもお祝いしていただけて、みんなで記念写真も撮って。これはなんて人生のご褒美？笑顔と幸せを与えるつもりが逆に抱えきれへんくらいにもらってもうた。ありがとう。関西勢、最高です。それからまる。我慢できてへん！

10月

10月は個人のお仕事からひとつ。前にもここに書いたんやけど、北海道でロケをしてまして。なんでかって言うとね、アリーナツアーで披露する「オモイダマ」という曲に吹奏楽部のご協力が必要やったんです。それぞれが担当する地方まで出向いてお願いしていたんやけど、僕は北海道の高校生の元へ。と、その前に広大な北の大地を満喫！ファンの子のための聖地作り、たのしかったなあ。お友達のみんなも、北海道へ足を運んだときには是非同じところで写真撮ってね。ちなみにおすすめの観光スポットはAOAO SAPPOROさん。水族館です。ここのアイコンがまさにそうやねん、ペンギン見つめてるの。かわいい海の生物がいっぱいおって、癒されること間違いなし。

11月

年内最後のフェス、スカパラ甲子園。呼んでいただきました。うれしい！この大人の渋さ、かっこよさ。どうしたって撃ち抜かれてしまうなあ。今までは尊敬する先輩方の背中を見て、盗めるものは盗みながら全力で走ってきたけれど、僕たちもあれよあれよという間に事���所ではきっともうベテランの位置。後輩たちに追いかけられ、追い越され、そんな日々も楽しくて仕方がないけど、スカパラさんはそんな僕たちのずっとずっと前をひた走る新たな憧れの存在です。一緒に音楽ができること、半端なく刺激になっているのを感じる。また同じステージに立てますように。

12月

誰が洋服落書きされた壁やねん。大切な衣���です。そしてこれも大切なお仕事！安田、再び北海道へ出向いてアイヌの方々にお会いしてきました。狩猟、音楽、食などの伝統文化を通じて、次世代へ言葉を紡ぐドキュメンタリー番組です。放送は大晦日と来月の全2回なんやけど、CSの特殊チャンネルというのもあってお友達に触れていただくのはなかなか難しいのかな。僕、こういうドキュメンタリー番組が向いてるかもしれへん。バラエティも好きやけどひとりで前に前にってしゃべるのはちょっと下手っぴやから。たくさんの方に届けられるようにもっと頑張るね。

2024年の締めくくりは待ちに待ったドームツアー！福岡ドームから幕開け。アリーナツアーを駆け抜けてから1ヶ月くらいしか経ってないんやけど、また全然違う構成とセットリストで創り上げました。絶対に楽しんでいただけると思う。きっとファンの子の中でも、この時のライブが一番好きやったっていうお気に入りの公演が必ずあるやろうけど、みんなそれを塗り替える気で居るからね。どこから見てもどの曲を聴いても楽しくて、胸がぎゅーってなるようなeighterのためのライブ。20年分の愛をお返しします。それはそうと見てよ、ぬいぐるみ。かわいいやんなあ。でもね、いつも僕のぬいだけ髪型追いついてないねんな。スタッフさんいつもどんな気持ちなんやろ？出来上がった！と思ったら僕だけもう変わってんねん。わざとちゃうの。ごめんなさい。さてさて、こんなところでしょうか。完全に自己満やし勝手に書いといてあれやけど、ここまで読んでくれた子ってほんまにおるんかな？長いことお付き合いいただいて心からありがとう。さては相当な物好き、安田マニアですね。疲れたやろうから、ゆっくり目と指を休めてくださいな。あなたにとってSUPER HAPPYな年末年始になりますように！来年も僕となかよしこよしのおしくらまんじゅうして遊びましょう。いつもほんまにありがとう。

Wiesmann MF5 GT 

The MF5 GT was in the absolute top position. This model series made its debut in 2007 during the IAA at the Wiesmann dealer in Frankfurt. It took around one and a half years before series production began. As with the MF4, a bonded and riveted aluminium chassis lay beneath the body made of glass-fiber-reinforced plastic. For the smaller MF3, Wiesmann used a tube frame.Technically, the brothers Friedhelm and Martin Wiesmann continued to use BMW components for the MF5. Only the best was good enough for the flagship. The five-liter naturally aspirated V10 engine with 373 kW/507 hp and 520 Nm of torque was taken over from the M5 (E60/E61) and M6 (E63/E64) series. The automated SMG III transmission with seven gears, the ABS and a few other driver assistance systems also came from the M6. Steering components came from the smaller 3 Series with the internal model codes E46 and E90. All around, 19-inch wheels with 265/35 ZR 19 tires at the front and 325/30 ZR 19 tires at the rear were used as standard. When BMW retired the E60, E61, E63 and E64 series and thus also discontinued production of the V10, Wiesmann switched in parallel to the V8 biturbo engine from the X5 M. This produced 408 kW/555 hp from 4.4 liters of displacement, which was transmitted to the rear wheels via a six-speed automatic transmission.Initially, the Wiesmann MF5 GT was only available as a Coupé. Wider fenders, a modified front spoiler lip and a fixed rear wing clearly distinguished the car from the less powerful MF4 GT. Incidentally, the first 30 production cars of the MF5 GT had chassis numbers of its smaller brother. It wasn’t until number 031 that a separate number range began. The last MF5 GT with the V10 engine was numbered 056, and the V8 biturbo engine was subsequently fitted in just 22 cars. In September 2009, the Roadster version finally made its debut at the IAA in Frankfurt. For this car, Wiesmann used an electrically extendable rear spoiler for the first time, which generated more downforce at higher speeds. Since it was already foreseeable at the time of the premiere that the V10 engine wouldn’t be available for much longer, Wiesmann limited the MF5 Roadster to 55 units. However, due to the long production times and the fact that new EU registrations were no longer possible from 2011, only 43 were produced, followed by 63 cars with V8.

Author's note: recently German firm Wiesmann decided that its next car will be an EV, which led to this prototype: Project Thunderball. That won't be the real name, but this is mostly the real car, with 671 horsepower and 811 pound-feet of torque. Assuming it reaches production anytime soon, it'll be the first EV roadster since the original Lotus-based Tesla. Stay tuned!

Not tagged by @veliseraptor, but this looked fun!

Rules: Go to your published works on AO3 and list the first fic you ever published there, the last fic you published, any fic that you wrote for a fandom/ship only once, your favorite fic you wrote in the fandom/ship that has the most works, the fic you wish more people read, the fic you agonized over the most, the fic that sprang fully formed from your mind without any effort, and a work you are proud of—for whatever reason.

first fic you ever published there: First ever was The Orphan from Tsubasa fandom, published to AO3 on 9/03/2010! More than thirteen years ago this month, gosh. This was however by no means the first fic I ever wrote, nor even the date I wrote it -- I republished a bunch of fics over from fanfiction.net and this just happened to be the first.

last fic you published: Immortal Lamb Crusader Way , which actually got a much bigger reception than I'd expected! considering it was a crossover fic (thus a higher bar to entry than non-crossover fic.) By no means upset by this, but slightly baffled, I am left to conclude that Scum Villain fic readers are really just hungry for new content.

any fic that you wrote for a fandom/ship only once: Hrm. Hard to qualify. There are several fandoms that are on there only once, but they tend to be either fusions or crack crossovers (like the Never Gonna Tell A Lie Saga.) I don't think those count. The only one that really meets the criteria for this would be abovementioned Immortal Lamb Crusader Way, but I fully intend to write more SVSSS/BingQiu later on! So... let's say The Dressmaker's Bride, which I'd consider the only fic I ever seriously wrote for CSS and Tomoyo/Sakura.

your favorite fic you wrote in the fandom/ship that has the most works: This would actually be the Dragon Age fandom -- couple of prospects from there. I quite liked fruits of poison, flowers of blood as an exploration of the Anders and Merrill friendship and also Mirror, Mirror as a shenanigans comedy featuring multiple Hawke clones. But I think this one has to go to One Elegant Solution by virtue of being my magnum opus out of the entirely sixty-five bunch of them.

fic you wish more people read: Gosh. Honestly a few options here. Just the other day I was thinking of Blood Feathers - a Fenders minibang fic I wrote that featured Fenris as a griffon-riding Gray Warden and Anders as a griffon veterinarian, was a fic that I thought turned out very well but didn't get a lot of air time. And man, I was just really proud with how well Complicity came out, a Critical Role story unpacking Jester's torture trauma from the Iron Angels arc. And some of my older TRC fics -- particularly Undervoice and Cocoon -- fell into an awkward period between platforms where they never got much viewership either on FFNet or on AO3. Alas.

fic you agonized over the most: The really long ones probably have the most sweat blood and tears shed total -- One Elegant Solution from Dragon Age, Wizards/Heralds from Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle; (say hello to my) thirty million little friends  from MDZS; but probably the one I agonized the most over for the eventual least impact was Labyrinth, an Avengers/Silent Hill crossover (see above note about crossovers having a higher bar to entry than non-crossovers; the fact that I picked a non-flagship pairing for this one probably didn't help.)

fic that sprang fully formed from your mind without any effort: I don't know that any of them were no effort, but How To Become A Champion in 4 Easy Steps really did spring fully formed from my head, a second-person POV exploration of Hawke's grief and loss. 

a work you are proud of—for whatever reason: proud of a lot of em for many and various reasons! but I think Cover Up the Sun probably holds the record, out of all of my works ever, for having the most readers reaching out to me to say that it really helped them personally -- from the person who said that the apology conversation helped them realize that their friends were treating them badly, to some folks who found Loki's unpacking of his grief over his mother's death helped them deal with their own parents' death, to one person who left a note that this fic had helped them decide to go on living. That's the sort of thing that really makes spending years on writing to feel worth it, you know?

Tagging: @fieldofclover, @fortune-maiden, @faux-fires, and to break the alliterative streak, @cerusee.

Just arrived for #fenderfriday , a 1959 Fender Twin Amp 5F8-A High Power Tube Amplifier! Included is a very well-made replica Tweed cabinet if you’d like to preserve the original one. Covers for both as well. - Click on the link in our bio to learn more about it. - The Fender Twin-Amp was initially unveiled at the Summer 1952 NAMM show as the company's new top-line professional amplifier. It remained the flagship model of tweed era Fender amps until 1960, when the new decade brought a revamp of the entire line. The circuit went through many revisions throughout the 1950s, until 1958 when Leo introduced the 85 watt 5F8-A circuit. The 5F8-A revision has since become known as the "High Power Tweed Twin" and is regarded as one of Leo's finest achievements. This was a sonic revelation at the time and to this day is simply the most desired standard production Fender amp ever made, one of the most collectible amplifiers of all time. - - - - #fendertwinamp #fendertwintweed #retrofretvintageguitars #ampforsale #tubeamplifier #fendersofinstagram #fenderamp (at Retrofret Vintage Guitars) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpVwZoCu_ai/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Fender Flagship Tokyo, the world's first flagship store for the iconic guitar brand, is celebrating its first anniversary with a week-long celebration from June 26th to July 2nd, 2024

Porsche 944 Turbo Cup. Porsche launched a race series for its flagship 944 Turbo in the mid-1980s. There were five championship series: one in France, Germany, South Africa, Canada, and the United States. Each had a distinct amount of vehicles competing. The Turbo Cup cars designed for the series were significantly upgraded over their road-going counterparts. These included a larger KKK K26-8 turbocharger, a magnesium intake manifold, an oil pan, a reinforced transmission, clutch, differential, and axles, along with the removal of A/C, power seats, leather upholstery, sun visors, power windows, power steering, rear wiper, headlight washers, fender liners, storage pockets, rear trunk release, upgraded struts, shocks, springs, suspension mounts, as well as an adjustable ABS system, bigger brakes with racing pads, magnesium wheels This resulted in weight reductions of roughly 272 kg (600 lb) and improved vehicle performance, with Turbo Cup cars accelerating from 0-97 km/h (60 mph) in 5.3 seconds and reaching a high speed of nearly 274 km/h (170 mph). 192 Turbo Cup cars were built, 99 for Canada (VIN starts WP0AAO) and 93 for the rest of the globe (VIN starts WP0ZZZ). Cup automobiles are identifiable by their last four VIN digits ranging from 1501 to 1700. As far as is known, only one left the factory as a one-mirror Testarossa-style cup vehicle (VIN 1524) for a doctor in Germany, with a specially ordered standard black leather interior, targa rooftop, and white body. This car's track has been lost since 2019 when the original wheels were stolen in Münster and the vehicle was sold. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porsche_944 #kellyroycekey #porsche #gt3 #911gt #pyrenees  #detroit #michigan #porscheUnleashed #electronicarts Porsche Unleashed 951 Turbo Cup @ Normandie
