Quinn + Tonik Vol. 95: Take A Step Back

“the direct route isn’t always the best one” We've had a lot of time to think about this as we've just driven across Africa in a car that averages 50mph on a good day. 14 hours of trundling along through the middle of nowhere gives time for reflection. Time to think about how lucky [...]

Quinn + Tonik Vol. 94: Dressed To Thrill

We're still in discussions with Aston Martin to create a limited edition DQ-S car. If you want to be #001 we are looking for you. Lunch with DQ and discuss the ins and outs of aesthetics, power curves, and sound systems. Meanwhile, for those of you not looking to add a James Bond car [...]

Quinn + Tonik Vol. 93: Labors of Love Report

HAPPY LABOR DAY. Apparently we're not supposed to wear white hereafter. But no one seems to be able to explain why. When asked by our buddy Danny Agnew at Inside Hook, "What do you think of the 'no white pants after Labor Day' rule? For it? Against it? [...]

Quinn + Tonik Vol. 92: Live Like A Maharajah

DQ just got back from a spicy 96 hours in Jaipur. A city of color, spice, and beauty. Hidden gardens, Maharajahs with bespoke Rolls Royces, and gemstones galore. But we're still focused on our mission to Africa to save the elephants, and teach kids about conservation. [...]

Quinn + Tonik Vol. 91: Dangerous Men Report

We're heading on our annual pilgrimage to Zambia to raise money to support elephants and conservation at the Elephant Charge on September 28, 2019. Team Quinn + Tonik has entered our rally prepped Landrover 4x4 as Team 15. If you have no idea what we are on about [...]

Quinn + Tonik Vol. 90: An Eye For An Eye Makes The Whole World Blind

It is tough to know where to start with Q+T this week. Yet again we have to scratch our heads as each of the kids in the schoolyard engage in petty internecine warfare, with the occasional suicide bomber [...]

Quinn + Toink Vol. 89: Vive La Revolution!

Sunday was Bastille Day, celebrating the storming of the prison which kicked off the French Revolution complete with the Terror, and the beheading of swathes of French aristocrats by Mme. La Guillotine. As you already know DQ loves France. In particular the Côte d'Azur [...]

Quinn + Tonik Vol. 88: Summer Sundowners

It's been tough to keep up with Q+T for the past month or so. Monaco, Le Mans, and lots of Quinning and suiting has been getting in the way. So, first up, we'd like you to know that the archive of Quinn + Tonik is now becoming available on the website blog. You can find this trove of treasures [...]

Quinn + Tonik Vol. 87: Travelogue Needs

We're headed east for July 4th. And hoping you are headed somewhere too. In the meantime we'd like to instigate a resurgence in flying boats. So just to get you interested, have a read of this epic tale from the late 1950's of converted sea planes used for round-the-world tours,...and,...well [...]

Quinn + Tonik Vol. 86: Father's Day Gifts For Gentlemen And Rogues

DQ is at Le Mans this week. No doubt having a chin wag with five times winner, Sir Derek Bell, about the time Steve McQueen hoodwinked him while they were filming Steve's epic movie, "Le Mans." [...]

Quinn + Tonik Vol. 85: Daddy Daycare For Grownups...

Every now and then a Gentleman Rogue gets a free pass. And can then let his hair down, open the floodgates of bacchanal, and indulge in his fantasies before returning to the real world. It's Daddy Day on June 16th. So here are some thoughts on how to use that free pass [...]

Quinn + Tonik Vol. 84: Your Glass Runneth Over...

It looks as if summer is finally going to arrive in Gotham City. Which means it is rosé time. As most of you probably know, we've been importing DQ's favourite summer tipple from Provence in the south of France for a few years now. Made just north of St Tropez in the Var region of [...]
