Quinn + Tonik Vol. 91: Dangerous Men Report
"All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible."
T.E. Lawrence

Open your eyes and act on your dreams.
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 you can read this.
We're driving across the Kalahari Desert to get there. Complete with extra fuel, satellite phone, incontinence pants and a spare set of brass balls.
We're going to be inspired, open our eyes, and drink in the world around us. But mostly we'll be raising funds to protect the ever dwindling elephant population. If you have ever been to Africa and seen African elephants in their native environment you will understand. If you haven't, well...come join us.
This Quinn + Tonik is a special sponsorship edition.
So stretch those crocodile arms, shake the moths out of that handmade DQ wallet, and get the Amex out. Of course, as always, there's a cocktail at the bottom while you consider the options.
Bottoms Up!

win a bespoke suit: elephant charge raffle $100
Yes you read that right. One hundred dollars. And a dream.
Every year at the Elephant Charge the biggest winner is always a debate. Is it the team that won the rally? Or the team that raised the most money for the cause?
We've never won either. Yet. But we can work on that.
So this year we have something special for you. Buy a ticket. Win a bespoke suit.
There are several options. All will be amazing, full DQ bespoke with all the bells and whistles. Hell, DQ will even throw in lunch at Balthazar and a bottle of something tasty.
But you have to be in it to win it.
So there you are. Get on it. As we may never do this again.
***
Up to 100 tickets will be sold for each raffle. Provided we sell 100 tickets for the raffle in question one name will be drawn for each raffle at random to win the bespoke suit. If for any reason we do not sell 100 tickets for each individual raffle the tickets from the raffles with insufficient participants will be combined, and provided there are at least 100 tickets in total a ticket will be drawn to win, and the winner will have a choice of cloths. If we do not sell 100 tickets each ticket will convert into a gift certificate for $100 valid for three months.

sponsor placement: rally team sponsors
We are constantly plagued with social media influencers asking us for freebies. We have 34k followers. But we are not asking you to stick your logo on our car for the exposure. We are asking you to do it for a cause, and idea. And as we may remember, ideas are bulletproof. So please plaster our car with your corporate logos, personal mantras, or whatever else you fancy. But lets make sure we run out of slots!
PUT YOUR LOGO ON OUR CAR

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 [...]

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? [...]
