    1 “The Peking to Paris Rally” Sam Peters has been a member of the Vines community since 1989. He is a man who enjoys a challenge. Here are a few examples. Flew to Germany to experience the Berlin Wall coming down. Went to Russia and trained for a week to fly a Russian MIG . Signed on as crew to sail the Mediterranean. Climbed Kilimanjaro and made it to the summit. Drove a dirt bike for a month through the outback of Mexico. Skied just about every black run in the U.S., Canada and Argentina. Won his age group in the handball national championship. Thirteen matches in two days. So this year it was time for something really big. “The Peking to Paris Rally”. Ninety-six cars entered, mostly with professional competitors. Fly from Cincinnati to Beijing (6,830 air miles) then drive 7,610 miles through Asia/Europe in 33 days with friend and mechanic, Enos Reed, in a 1940 Studebaker called (Stu).We are told that we can track car 41 (Stu) on “Yellow Brick” a transponder installed to track the car on the internet. Preparations are underway, registering, collecting ID’s and Chinese driver’s licenses, uploading way points in Marine GPS and going to briefings. The field will compete in two basic divisions, the Vintageant category, (pre 1941 model cars) with 42 entrants including “Stu” and the Classic category (pre 1975 models) with 54 entrants. The race, set to start on May 28th is on schedule. No sooner underway then the first glitch is encountered. The Chinese government has confiscated all of the GPS equipment suggesting that it might be used for spying.

But in 2004, a customer of Gantspeed Engineering, Lincolnshire, England, asked the workshop’s owner, Robert Gant, to find him a right-hand drive Porsche 356A. This customer wanted to try his hand at a bit of classic rallying, and for his very first event, he had entered the 2007 Peking to Paris rally! Well, if you want to learn to swim, there is nothing like diving in at the deep end to start the ball rolling, so to speak. www.porscheroadandrace.com Molly poses for a snap in Russia during the Peking to Paris rally 2007 © David & Julie Harrison Robert Gant set to work to source a suitable car and as it happened, a South African right- hand drive 356A project car came up. This was an incomplete car with VW engine and transmission, and so a deal was done and this became the starting point for the project. The body was duly stripped and media blasted back to bare metal, revealing a very rusty bodyshell that told a sad tale of botched repairs over the years. All the rusted sections were cut away and new panels installed, at this stage most of the car was being held together by mole grips. It was at this point that the car received its nickname, Molly Mole Grip, later shortened to Molly, which has stuck with her to this day.

  • 1908 New York to Paris Race and the 1909 Ocean to Ocean Race, from New York City to Seattle
    Bad Roads to Good Roads The Great Races: 1908‐09 Part One In 1909 only seven percent of the two million miles of highways in the United States were classified as "improved." In rain and snow, most American roads became impassable. Encyclopedia.com notes: “When the Office of Public Roads Inquiries undertook the first inventory of all U.S. roads in 1904, the country had 2,151,570 miles of rural public roads, but 1,997,908 miles, or 93 percent, were dirt. Of the 153,662 miles with any kind of surfacing, only 38,622 miles were stone or macadam, while the remainder included 108,232 miles of gravel and 6,810 of shell, sand, clay, brick, or other materials. Only a few hundred miles of roads in the entire country were suitable for motor vehicles.” ….. “As motor‐vehicle sales grew rapidly—exceeding 1,000 for the first time in 1899, 100,000 in 1909, and 1 million in 1916—Americans demanded and got good roads.” In 1908 and 1909 two long distance endurance automobile races with ties to Washington State helped to focus public attention on the deplorable condition of American roads. These were the 1908 New York to Paris Race and the 1909 Ocean to Ocean Race, from New York City to Seattle. In this Part One of this blogpost series, we’ll touch briefly on the 1908 New York to Paris Race. In Part Two we will set the stage for the 1909 Ocean to Ocean Race itself and briefly cover the travails of the “pace car” of the Race.

  • JT Applies to Amend Retail Prices of Tobacco Products in Japan in Response to a Planned Excise Tax Increase
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Tokyo, July 30, 2021 JT Applies to Amend Retail Prices of Tobacco Products in Japan in Response to a Planned Excise Tax Increase Japan Tobacco Inc. (JT) (TSE:2914) today announces that it has applied to the Ministry of Finance for approval* to amend the retail prices of its tobacco products in Japan in conjunction with the planned excise tax increase on October 1, 2021. The Company has applied for the retail price amendment for a total of 173 products, including 127 cigarette products, 18 cigarillo products, three pipe tobacco products, three cut tobacco products, 22 snuff tobacco products. The Japanese domestic tobacco market continues to experience decreasing sales volumes due to structural factors including the aging and declining adult population together with increasingly stringent smoking restrictions. As a result, the costs for maintaining the product quality and services are rising. Under these circumstances, while JT has been implementing cost optimization measures in line with a projected further decline of sales volume, it has become even more challenging to maintain the same quality and services that meet our consumer’s satisfaction. In this context, JT has applied to amend the retail prices of cigarettes, which exceeds the excise tax hike of cigarettes (1.0 yen per stick), revised tax structure for light weight cigarillos, while taking into account further increases in costs. JT has decided to amend the retail prices of its tobacco products, however such increase varies among different brands and products, to ensure that the quality of each product will be maintained and that consumer expectations continue to be met.

  • JT Applies to Amend Retail Prices of Tobacco Products in Japan in Response to a Planned Consumption Tax Increase
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Tokyo, August 06, 2019 JT Applies to Amend Retail Prices of Tobacco Products in Japan in Response to a Planned Consumption Tax Increase Japan Tobacco Inc. (JT) (TSE:2914) today announces that it has applied to the Minister of Finance for approval* to amend the retail prices of its tobacco products in Japan in conjunction with the planned consumption tax (value-added tax) increase on October 1, 2019 and the increase of excise tax on Tobacco Vapor products. The Company has applied for the retail price amendment for a total of 115 products, including 102 cigarette products, three cigarillo products, three pipe tobacco products, three cut tobacco products and four “Ploom S” products in the Tobacco Vapor category. Details of the retail price amendment application are as following: 1. Consumption Tax Increase related amendments The amount of consumption tax increase is calculated against the weighted average price of all of its products and passed on the retail price. As a result, JT proposes to increase the retail price for most of its cigarette products by JPY 10 per pack, whereas the retail prices of some products, including Winston and Camel, will remain unchanged. 2. Tobacco Vapor products Excise Tax Structure Revision related amendments The new tax system requires increasing excise tax gradually over a five-year period, starting from October 1, 2018 through to October 1, 2022. While JT believes in reflecting the tax increase to the retail price, considering the competitive environment and consumer price acceptance holistically, the retail price of “Ploom TECH” and “Ploom TECH+” remain unchanged.
