Schuppan 962CR P1, 1991. Selected as Best in Show at the London Concours. The Schuppan is based on a Porsche 962, the project was to use a Reynard carbonfibre chassis with bodywork styled by Mike Simcoe. The plan didn't work out, and just six cars (including 2 LM models and 2 CRs) were built. This example was the project's prototype and development car, and based on a racing machine that had competed at Le Mans in 1990. It would later enter private ownership, spending some time in France before being brought back to the UK, where it has since been fully refurbished and retrimmed.

I keep trying to figure out an aesthetically pleasing Simcoe ship.

Obvious is Andree I guess. A little extra to sweeten the deal for being demoted to Queens Rangers? But Andree is too perceptive and he'd guess the masochism in five seconds. (Not sure it’s a bad thing though.)

Abe? Good size difference, but I can't see Simcoe bottoming for him (I have no issue with Jamie topping the Magic Mike dude in togas, but Abe's not that). Still, an 'I either fuck you or Anna' threat and Abe would be prepping himself before Simcoe could get naked (even if we know Simcoe would never do that)

Tallmadge is waaaay too pretty and the little lisp-like thing he's got going on makes me feral. Seems pretty versatile though, but also not morally gray enough. Would fuck with a mortal wound, which they'd have in common. Complete blank on how and why they'd fuck. (Revenge for Caleb maybe?)

Culper Jr. knows shit, so interrogation works. Gay sex would be absolutely humiliating for him. Would bite dick, but Simcoe might like that.

Not discussing Arnold, that actor's lucky he had a part in GK.

i like the idea of simcoe with andre, he's the one i was leaning towards most before s4 👀 the others i don't really see much, abe Maybe but i don't think abe wants any part of that lmao

it's caleb or bust for me personally, i'll ignore that you don't consider him aesthetically pleasing kjsjkjhsjkh

Best Car Gun Safe 2020

Indistinguishably estimated and vehicle-explicit Michelin PS4S elastic wraps every one of the four wheels, checking in at 245/40ZR19. An all-season tire is accessible, yet as a Californian I state, "Who cares?" For the first run through ever, a Cadillac V item is accessible with AWD, however the fine people at Cadillac rush to call attention to that they're talking AWD for terrible climate (whatever that is), not as an exhibition enhancer. 

 With every one of these things cooperating, Cadillac claims the CT5-V will hit 60 mph in 4.6 seconds, with the AWD adaptation a touch more slow. Costs start at $48,690 for the back driver and $51,290 for the all-wheel drive rendition. Madly, Super Cruise—Cadillac's down evolving, best-in-the-business, without hands, sorta-self-sufficient driving mode—isn't accessible on the 2020 models. Be that as it may, the 2021 CT5-Vs are coming sooner than you might suspect, and they will have it. It's such an extraordinary innovation, that I prescribe pausing.

 A fast word about structure before we find a good pace thing drives. Certain autos look path preferable in the metal over in photos. One ongoing model that jumps to mind is the Land Rover Defender. In pictures, the revamped symbol showed up more toy vehicle than macho 4x4 fan. I at last ran into one and pronounce it much preferable and harder investigating the press shots persuaded.

 Same story here with the CT5-V. As a matter of first importance, Cadillac has another outside methodology where energetic models get de-blinged. I'm a fan. You can even observe this grinding away on sport adaptations of the new Escalade. The brightwork is supplanted with dark trim, and stylishly the vehicles are vastly improved off. The CT5 was the first Cadillac to utilize the Escala idea vehicle's plan language, and the V form takes it a positive, however iterative, advance more remote. I like the front finish of the CT5-V superior to the Escala's. Obviously there's that C-column.

 I cornered GM's VP of worldwide plan Mike Simcoe for 30 minutes just to get his feedback about the C-column. On the off chance that you don't have the foggiest idea what I'm discussing, it's the territory behind the back entryway of a vehicle. On the CT5, it's secured by a bowed triangle-molded dark plastic realistic. I'm not going to cite him (he never, regardless of how hard I attempted to make him, said "bargain"), however basically Cadillac needed as enormous of a secondary lounge as could be expected under the circumstances while simultaneously keeping up the arcing, inclining, coupelike, hatchbacklike roofline from the Escala. Something needed to give, and it was the C-column.

 Why not simply put a bit of glass there? Since the back entryways are so enormous (the CT5 has a 1.4-inch-longer wheelbase than the CTS, all of which goes to the back seat) that Cadillac needed to part the back entryway glass into two pieces to guarantee that the huge piece dropped right down. Four sheets of glass on a solitary side of a car would look tacky. Did the structure group give numerous different emphasess before settling a shot what they chose? Better believe it, and I envision they more likely than not looked genuine terrible. Such is life. I'm going to think about the C-column as a marvel mark. Don't hesitate to imagine alongside me in light of the fact that else I burrow the looks.

7:30 PM TOUCH OF EVIL Mexican cop Mike Vargas (Charlton Heston) and his American wife Susan (Janet Leigh) encounter more than they bargained for when they drive into the California border town of Los Robles—extortion, kidnapping, and murder are par for the course in the dusty fiefdom of veteran sheriff Hank Quinlan (Orson Welles). Can Vargas unveil decades of corruption and protect his bride from a marauding gang? Welles' return to Hollywood from European exile is the stuff of legend—a crime drama so extraordinarily stylish it looms symbolically as the end of the classic noir era. Time and changing tastes have led some critics to laud it as the equal of Welles' earlier masterworks. Presented in 35mm courtesy of Universal Pictures 1958, Universal. 95 min. 35mm Scr. Orson Welles, from the novel by Whit Masterson. Dir. Orson Welles 9:30 PM MURDER BY CONTRACT Cold, ruthless Claude (Vince Edwards) has no prospects in his young life—so he decides to stake his place in the world as a hired killer—but when he's sent to sunny California to kill a gangland witness, his sudden discovery of "ethics" could prove fatal. An ultra-low budget gem from director Irving Lerner, shot in only seven days, with a strangely hypnotic pace and a spare, haunting musical theme by guitarist Perry Botkin. A personal favorite of director Martin Scorsese, who's admitted this film's stylistic influence on Taxi Driver—particularly the Travis-in-training sequences.

💥1992 Schuppan 962CR Prototype💥 A project by Australian racecar driver Vern Schuppan to build a road-going hypercar based on the  Le Mans-winning Porsche 962 race car. A twin-turbo 600hp powered it water-cooled 3.3-litre Type-935 Porsche flat-6 similar to the engine that powered the 962. It was designed by Mike Simcoe (now General Motors' Vice President of Global Design) with a carbon fiber monocoque chassis built by Reynard Motorsport. Priced at $1.5M in 1994, it is among the most expensive vehicles ever sold new. Japanese investors provided funding, but the global economic recession of the early 1990s and the high cost of the car's construction meant that when the financing dried up, Schuppan was forced into bankruptcy. Including the prototype, six cars were built in all, but one was destroyed in a fire. • • Visit www.Story-Cars.com • • #storycars #conceptcar #conceptcars #prototype #porsche #962 #schuppan #962cr #schuppan962cr #mikesimcoe #vernschuppan 📸/📚: @bingo_international @bingo_japan https://www.instagram.com/p/Cnubop8pFLY/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Teaming up with Silver City Brewing, Migration Brewing releases West Coast-style IPA, I-5 Vibes.

Press Release

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – Migration Brewing has partnered up with Silver City Brewing of Bremerton, WA to produce a big west coast IPA named I-5 Vibes.  The two breweries got together in April to make this draft-only product and will be celebrating the new release at John’s Market Beaverton (3700 SW Hall Blvd, Beaverton, OR 97005) on Friday 5.12 from 4-7pm.  The event is open to the public.  The beer is a limited draft offering and will be available at choice beer bars throughout the Pacific Northwest and at all Migration pubs.  

“We’ve always enjoyed the Silver City team and the amazing hop forward beers they’ve put out over the years.  It was a fun opportunity for our brewers to work together with some newer advanced hop products like Incognito and Salvo in a 7.7% abv IPA,” said Mike Branes, Co-Founder and Head Brewer at Migration Brewing.  

With a lean grist bill made up of 2-Row and Pilsner malts, the two breweries showcased what they enjoy the most - hops and more hops!  Simcoe hops were used in the boil to lay down a firm bitterness that’s not overpowering, while aromas of zesty grapefruit, tropical papaya, and pine are coupled with a resinous dank quality.  Once you sip it, the myriad layers of hops let you know it’s not messing around!

###

Migration Brewing started in 2010 when four friends came together over a passion for craft beer and a dream of opening a brewpub. With a lot of bootstrapping and a little luck, they have since opened four pub locations within Portland. As an award-winning brewery, the Migration team takes great pride in producing world-class beers that embrace innovation while respecting classic styles. 

Interview opportunities available. For more information visit:  migrationbrewing.com
