Star Island is an oval-shaped artificial island in Biscayne Bay, within the City of Miami Beach, Florida. It is south of the Venetian Islands and just east of Palm Island and Hibiscus Island. It was created by Carl Fisher, co-founder of Miami Beach, and completed in 1922 by the Army Corps of Engineers by dredging sand. It is connected to the MacArthur Causeway and the rest of Miami Beach by Bridge Road. There are 35 home sites on the island.
The island has been the home of many wealthy residents, including celebrities, since its creation. Don Johnson, Shaquille O'Neal, Lenny Kravitz, Will Smith, Gloria Estefan, Rosie O'Donnell, Paulina Rubio, Madonna, Alex Rodriguez, P.Diddy, and Sylvester Stallone have owned property on Star Island.

There are always people who regret the Packard automobile has gone for good. Or people who hardly can except Packard is history.
But there are also people who refuse to except this fact and take action. Like Roy Gullickson, an engineer and entrepreneur from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, US.
Read the auction description below and be surprised...
This Packard Twelve prototype was designed by former GM stylist Don Johnson with important input from Roy Gullickson and Lawrence Johnson. Development started in Autumn 1993. This prototype was presented in 1999. A yearly production of at least 2000 items was intended but the necessary investments were not found. It remained with this single prototype.
It was finally offered at an auction in 2014.

Auction description:
573 hp, 525 cu. in. OHV fuel-injected V-12 engine, four-speed GM 4L80E automatic transmission, full-time all-wheel drive, four-wheel independent suspension, and four-wheel power-assisted anti-lock disc brakes. Wheelbase: 119 in.
Some cars have presence, some cars have panache, some cars have prestige, and some cars have all that and more…like Packards. This is what inspired Roy Gullickson, entrepreneur and engineer, to pursue his dream and build the new Packard Twelve.
It began as an idea among friends during a conversation at lunch in 1991. After successfully securing the trademark rights to build a new automobile with the Packard name, concept development began during September and October of 1993. Engineering and styling work was started in January 1994 and continued through to 1996 with Gullickson and Lawrence Johnson, who were both mechanical engineers with automotive experience. The new Packard Motor Car Company and Twelve prototype were first introduced publicly at the 25th anniversary celebration of Arizona Packards in Tuscon in October 1998.
A full-size styling mock-up was developed after consultation with four professional stylists, who included Don Johnson, the former GM stylist who was responsible for the final version of the Zimmer automobile. The sub-structure is an all-aluminum space-frame chassis and body, making extensive use of proprietary high-strength, heat-treated aluminum extrusions. The special aluminum suspension A-frames and knuckles are heat-treated, then X-rayed and dye-penetrant tested to detect any porosity. Anti-squat and anti-dive geometry are included, along with 13.2-inch four-wheel disc brakes. The completed car weighs in at a comparatively light 3,750 pounds.
Power is supplied by a 573 horsepower, 525-cubic inch, all-aluminum OHV V-12. The engine was tested over a five-year period and is equipped with Delco electronic-port fuel injection, dual catalytic converters and oxygen sensors, and Delco powertrain control modules. Full-time all-wheel drive is managed by a Borg Warner transfer case with a viscous clutch and a 35/65 torque split front/rear. A GM 4L80E four-speed electronic-shift automatic transmission was chosen for effortless touring. Performance is quoted at 0–60 mph in 4.8 seconds and the quarter mile in 12.5 seconds.
Inside, you’ll find fine leather upholstery, hand-finished dark walnut veneers with aluminum backing, power front seats, and power windows and locks. Comfort items also include automatic temperature control, full instrumentation, and an AM-FM radio with a CD player and changer.
Included in the purchase of the vehicle are spare parts, such as door glass, suspension knuckles and A-frames, and taillight lenses, along with a list of components with part numbers and suppliers’ names. Historical notes and materials will be provided with the car, as well as many additional photographs and original artwork.
The car is titled under authorization of federal and state laws for “constructed” vehicles, and therefore, it is not EPA or NHTSA certified. It is truly a unique vehicle and the only one built. According to the consignor, there will be no other. He adds that over $1.5 million has been invested in the cost of engineering and building this one-off, modern-day Packard prototype.
This is one time, perhaps, you’ll have to “Ask the Man Who Owns the Only One.”

Saw seven Lamborghini Gallardos today but this was the highlight. I've always loved this car since I saw it on Miami Vice and this was the first one I've photographed on the move... great lines, just love it.

Vintage postcard, no. PP 178. Photo: Philip Michael Thomas and Don Johnson in Miami Vice (1984-1990).
Miami Vice (1984-1990) was an American television crime drama series created by Anthony Yerkovich and executive produced by Michael Mann for NBC. The series starred Don Johnson (right at the postcard) as James 'Sonny' Crockett and Philip Michael Thomas as Ricardo 'Rico' Tubbs, two police detectives working undercover in Miami. Co-stars were Saundra Santiago, Olivia Brown, Michael Talbott, Edward James Olmos, and Sheena Easton. Pam Grier, Stanley Tucci, Helena Bonham Carter and John Leguizamo also appeared in the series. Most episodes focused on combating drug trafficking and prostitution. The series ran for five seasons from 1984 to 1989. The show drew heavily upon 1980s New Wave culture and music, and was noted for its integration of music and visual effects. Legend has it that the head of NBC's Entertainment Division, Brandon Tartikoff, wrote a brainstorming memo that simply read 'MTV cops'. Miami Vice introduced many fads and trends of the 1980s such as fast cars and speed boats, unshaven beard stubble, a T-shirt under pastel suits, no socks, rolled up sleeves, boat shoes and Ray Ban sunglasses. In 2006. Michael Mann directed a film adaptation of the series, and Vin Diesel and Chris Morgan are working on a TV series reboot that could be part of the NBC 2018–2019 TV season.

Old-time is the best!!
I appreciated it while I had it available nearby!!
Over the years I have several times enjoyed watching the process of harvesting the honey from the comb. Fascinating. Thanks to the hobbyists who pursue this craft and make the fruits of their labors (and those of the bees) available to the rest of us! Long may the bees survive to make our life sweet and to pollinate our fruits and vegetables.

In an interview given to The Telegraph’s Seven Magazine, Don Johnson said that my daughter Dakota Johnson may be the star of the upcoming movie 50 Shades of Grey, but that doesn’t mean that I am a fan of E.L. James. To read full interview visit this link bit.ly/1l2Vjwg

Random trivia: The Testarossa is the same car driven by Crockett in the remainder of the series after it was later painted white as the black didn't show up to well in the night scenes. Kinda weird considering the Daytona in the previous two seasons was black and looked fine.

This is a high resolution scan of the original 35MM film negative - 256 pixels/inch.
Ferrari made over 7000 of these but the most famous thing they will ever be known for is Don Johnson and his cool white jacket :)
The Testarossa was produced from 1984 to 1996.

On the right is a suit was worn by Philip Michael Thomas as Detective Richard Tubbs during the 1997-1998 season of the television series, Miami Vice.
The Museum of the Moving Image, located at 36-01 35 Avenue in Astoria, promotes the public understanding and appreciation of the art, history, technique and technology of film, television, and digital media by collecting, preserving, and providing access to moving-image related artifacts via multimedia exhibitions and educational programming. Originally established in 1977 as the Astoria Motion Picture and Television Center Foundation, opened on September 10, 1988, in the former East Coast home as Paramount Pictures as the first museum in the United States that was evoted solely to the art, history and technology of film, television and video. Following a $67 million expansion by architect Thomas Lesser, starting in March 2008, the museum doubled its size and reopened in January 2011.
Created with original Lego parts. The Torso decal created by myself.
It was for me the best crime series in the 80s and poineering for its integration of music and visual effects.
