px mart

kuma your’s mart appears to be a smaller chain of local supermarkets similar to px mart , although admittedly i’ve never been to one .
( gogoro announces riders of their smartscooters will soon be able to change batteries at px mart ( 全聯福利中心 ) , a leading supermarket chain in taiwan . )
taiwan’s cvs sandwiched by takeout food & px mart strategy taiwan’s cvs is showing a 2 % decline in shopping traffic , the first decline in past 5 years .
taipei ( taiwan news ) - taiwanese startup gogoro announced tuesday that riders of their smartscooters will soon be able to change batteries at px mart ( 全聯福利中心 ) , a leading supermarket chain in taiwan , making it more convenient for them to power up their scooters .
at the same time , leading fmcg retailer px mart is not only aggressively expanding their store numbers , but also increasing their offerings to include more healthy , fresh produce and greater shopping convenience , which in turn helped attract young age shoppers of under 35 , and repositioned themselves from a traditional store to modern trade supermarket . the strategy also proved to have a great impact on the cvs sales , where 15 % of the lost sales for the past year went to px mart , with dairy products , frozen food , beverage , biscuits and snacks amongst the most affected categories for cvs .
px mart is a budget supermarket , although there has popped up a lot more of these recently as they took over a government - run chain of supermarkets . they mostly sell local stuff , but tend to have a few imported items as well . generally quite a cheap place , but most stores don’t sell things like fruit , vegetables and unprocessed meat .
the company announced today that more charging stations , or gostations , will be installed at 20 of the px mart branches across the island by the end of june , and the network will be further expanded by the end of 2017 to cover the western part of taiwan . customers will be given more options to recharge their scooters without having to worry about dead batteries .
a - mart ( previously known as geant ) is another french supermarket chain , but generally it’s a lot more localized than carrefour and you won’t find the same amount of imported items here . that said , a - mart is generally a bit cheaper than carrefour , but there aren’t as many around . a - mart tend to stock slightly different brands and items than carrefour and it’s a good place to have a look in if you can’t find what you’re looking for in carrefour . again , the various shops seems to carry different items , so just because one geant has it doesn’t mean you’ll find it on another one . the larger the store , the bigger chance that they’ll have something a bit more special it seems .
in a recent report ( 2014 / 12 / 4 ) released by taiwan’s fair trade commission on the 2013 performance of convenience stores ( cvs ) , which stated that taiwan’s cvs is showing a 2 % decline in shopping traffic , the first decline in past 5 years . world leading research agency kantar worldpanel also observed trends of cvs decline in the food market * from their latest report , and after some in - depth research , discovered that other than the food safety incidents , it was leading fmcg retailer px mart’s new branding strategy and the rise of fresh takeout food that are responsible for this outcome .
discount mart is a new - ish chain that at least has started to open up in xindian . i’ve seen at least one location where they’ve replaced a wellcome . it’s a cheaper supermarket and they don’t seem to stock anything unique as such . i haven’t been able to locate a website so far .
this warning letter is notification from the united states food and drug administration ( fda ) advising you that citgo / px mart was observed to be in violation of federal tobacco laws and regulations . failure to correct these violations may lead to federal enforcement actions , including monetary penalties . your response is requested in 15 working days . on february 28 , 2017 , an inspector representing the fda completed an inspection of the establishment , located at 6101 route 209 , kerhonkson , ny 12446 . during this inspection the establishment was in violation because you or your employee sold e - liquid to a minor and failed to check identification to verify purchaser ' s age for a purchaser under the age of 27 .
other than the impact from px mart , takeaway cups is another major factor behind the decline of cvs performance ; takeaway cups are freshly made and customized to each consumer’s taste , and these traits satisfies the consumer’s needs for fresh , safe and good tasting food nowadays . kantar worldpanel found that for the past year , cvs’s beverage had declined a whopping 9 % in sales , where 49 % of these lost sales have switched to takeaway cups ! on top of the beverage , takeaway cups is also impacting on the sales of snacks & biscuits . kantar worldpanel pointed out that when consumers are purchasing the snacks / biscuits , nearly 40 % will also buy beverage at the same time , hence when the sales of beverage is impacted , it also started a chain reaction for related categories .
nancy chen , kantar worldpanel taiwan’s account manager , explains “food safety , px mart’s branding strategy and rise of takeaway cups market are all contributing to cvs’ decline . on top of that , cvs’ strategy in expanding cooked food section is also competing for sales with the packaged food section . consumer’s need for fresh , healthy , and customization has set the wheels rolling for the evolution of retailers , including cvs . hence it is expected that in the near future , packaged food performance is likely to further decline , therefore manufacturers will need to be prepared , that in the face of this trend , it is inevitable that certain categories may fall into a long term downward slope , and it will require manufacturers to plan and forecast more stringently on the future development of products , sales goal and resource allocation , and avoid over investment in the false hope that the market will one day return to previous peaks . ”
rt mart is a local supermarket that has a partnership with french auchan and as such they carry a fair share of imported goods . they got a lot of own brand import items such as pasta , sauces , etc and it’s all imported from europe and has pretty good quality . they also carry a small range of organic items . from time to time they also have a lot special time limited imports from both asia , europe and the us . rt - mart also have a large selection of imported beer and alcohol . as with most supermarkets here , the available items will vary from shop to shop , but the one in xindian is the only one i normally frequent and from time to time they have a lot of good imported goods , but it’s usually not things that are in stock for long , so if you see something you want , get it there and then , as it might not be available next week .
if you’re moving to or have just moved to taiwan and more specifically in this case , taipei ( as it’s the part of the country i’m familiar with ) , it can be hard to find certain things , as you’ll most likely not recognize any of the supermarkets here from back home , unless you’ve got carrefour or geant ( now a - mart ) in your country . even so , don’t expect to find the same stock of things as you would in a western country .
other places to do your shopping in are convenience stores , there are more 7 - 11’s in taiwan than in the whole of the usa and no less than 9 , 100 of them spread across the country with more opening all the time . then there’s of course familymart , hi - life , nikomart , ok mart , and everyday . you can do a lot of other useful things in convenience stores in taiwan too , like pay your bills , parking fees and collect c . o . d . packages etc . most of the convenience stores also have an atm . to find your local shop , either look out the window or head over to google maps where most of them tend to be listed these days .

two construction tycoons yesterday jointly won the bidding for a large piece of land in downtown taipei , injecting a dose of confidence into the property market , which saw sluggish trading in the first half of the year .
shin kong life insurance co ( 新光人壽 ) , the nation’s second - largest insurer , sold the land near da - an forest park to lin ming - hsiung ( 林敏雄 ) , chairman of yuan lih group ( 元利建設 ) , and tsai tseng - yu ( 蔡鎮宇 ) , board director of cathay financial holding co ( 國泰金控 ) , for nt $ 4 . 8 billion ( us $ 158 million ) , or 14 . 3 percent higher than the floor price of nt $ 4 . 2 billion .
market analysts said the sale of the 1 , 180 ping ( 3 , 894m² ) plot located in a residential neighborhood would benefit both parties and help boost the property marketa .
billy yen ( 顏炳立 ) , general manager of dtz debenham tie leung international property advisers ( 戴德梁行 ) , said he felt certain beforehand that the auction would run smoothly since the lot had been fairly priced .
yen , whose company shin kong had consulted on the auction , said the deal had allowed the seller to increase liquidity as planned while leaving the buyers ample room for profit margins .
shin kong life , a subsidiary of shin kong financial holding co ( 新光金控 ) , acquired the land in 2006 with a view to building upscale housing , but shifted its strategy this year in favor of commercial property that could generate rental profits , the company said in its auction announcement .
lin and tsai , whose businesses possess necessary capital and know - how , are expected to turn the plot into luxurious apartment units to be sold at between nt $ 1 . 3 million and nt $ 1 . 4 million per ping , yen said . the plot sold for nt $ 4 . 07 million per ping , up from the nt $ 2 . 6 million per ping shin kong paid for it two years ago .
lin also owns hwatai bank ( 華泰銀行 ) and pxmart ( 全聯社 ) , the nation’s biggest “hard discounter” chain . tsai jointly purchased the land in his individual capacity but his company is tied to cathay life insurance co ( 國泰人壽 ) , cathay securities ( 國泰證券 ) , cathay united bank ( 國泰世華銀行 ) and other financial services providers .
yen’s estimates would be 65 percent higher than the average price of nt $ 850 , 000 per ping in the district , but the property consultant portrayed the price as reasonable , saying it would give profit margins of between 20 percent and 30 percent .
“the auction showed that housing in a good location remains attractive , ” yen said . “properties in suburban areas may not be as appealing , though . ”
evertrust rehouse ( 永慶房屋 ) , a leading real estate agency , said the auction had lifted morale on the property market , which saw trade of high - end housing down 16 . 5 percent in the second quarter of this year .
evertrust manager yeh kuo - hua ( 葉國華 ) said the bearish sentiment in the market , caused by rising inflation and interest rates , could be reversed if sellers would avoid overpricing their properties .
yeh said the market was not short of funds or buyers , but investors have turned cautious as they try to gauge the impact of improved cross - strait ties and surging fuel costs on the economy .
a wait - and - see attitude is not necessarily a bad strategy , the agent said .

the daughter of a taiwanese tycoon died after falling from the 27th floor of the - baolai garden plaza in taipei’s xinyi district yesterday .
a daughter of a taiwanese tycoon fell to her death from a luxury apartment in taipei yesterday . investigators said a preliminary examination indicated no one else was involved .
the 28 - year - old woman was a daughter of pxmart chairman lin ming - hsiung ( 林敏雄 ) .
taipei prosecutors’ office spokesperson wang wen - teh ( 王文德 ) said investigators had examined the victim’s body and ruled out murder . her body had been handed over to her family , wang added .
wang said the woman fell from her apartment , which was on the 27th floor of the baolai garden plaza in xinyi district ( 信義 ) , which is a desirable - location for celebrities . former - president chen shui - bian ( 陳水扁 ) once owned an apartment there .
after the fall , a number of reporters rushed to the building and tried to enter the complex to film the scene . the intervention of several security guards was required to prevent reporters from accessing the area .
lin is a classic example of a taiwanese businessman who built his fortune from the ground up .
thirty years ago , lin started out as a hydroelectric apprentice and through real estate investment and hard work , he eventually became chairman of pxmart . he also doubles as chairman of yuan lih group and hwatai commercial bank .
lin ventured into the community supermarket sector and started pxmart with the goal of offering the best deals of any supermarket .
according to statistics provided by pxmart , in 2007 , 34 . 36 percent of supermarkets nationwide were pxmarts , as it had 380 of the nation’s 1 , 106 supmarkets .
last year , pxmart’s 570 locations represented 36 . 01 percent of the nation’s 1 , 583 supermarkets .
pxmart ( 全聯社 ) , the nation ' s biggest
hard discounter
better known as chuan lian center ( 全聯福利中心 ) , has mapped out an aggressive expansion plan to challenge supermarkets , with some hypermarkets also likely to feel the pinch .
the hard discount chain , aiming to open up to 320 stores nationwide by the end of the year to achieve annual sales of nt $ 30 billion ( us $ 903 . 6 million ) , is putting its new business model of including fresh foodstuffs among the product mix to the test .
it currently offers fresh food products in more than 20 outlets , including the five sunmade supermarkets ( 善美得 ) taken over this year , said general manager tsai chien - ho ( 蔡建和 ) at a charity event held on saturday .
to better serve consumers , we think it ' s important to offer a complete product mix ,
he said .
fresh food is a powerful tool to boost customer traffic . the chain has seen fresh food contributing to around 15 percent of revenues in the 20 - strong stores , with one on taipei ' s nanjing e . road even reporting 30 percent of fresh food sales , chairman lin ming - hsiung ( 林敏雄 ) said .
that store has an advantage of being located in an area with a high population of office workers and no traditional markets nearby ,
lin explained .
this would become the principle on which the firm bases decisions regarding which stores it will introduce fresh food to . its initial plan will be to stock fresh produce in downtown stores where busy white - collar workers may find it convenient to shop .
taking a different approach from hypermarkets where the maxim is
the bigger the better ,
most pxmart outlets are between 150 ping ( 495m2 ) and 200 ping and situated in inconspicuous areas , especially in second - tier counties and townships , because
we couldn ' t afford to extra expenditures like high rents and we want to offer the best prices to consumers ,
tsai said .
its major focus now is to extend its tentacles into urban areas and islets like kinmen , with a mid - term goal of opening 500 stores by 2010 , which tsai said might be achieved ahead of schedule .
many attribute pxmart ' s fast expansion to its successful policy of offering hypermarket - level prices on a supermarket - like scale .
pxmart was formerly a low - priced grocery chain the government had set up for military personnel , government officials and teachers to buy daily necessities , and special cards were required for entry .
in late 1998 , it was taken over by yuan li construction co ( 元利建設 ) and transformed into a privately owned enterprise , open to the general public .
the firm ' s boss , lin ming - hsiung , also chairman of hwatai bank ( 華泰銀行 ) , decided to maintain the retailer ' s status as a discounter that serves as
the community ' s good neighbor ,
manifested on its proximity to local neighborhoods and bare - bones interiors and store signs .
compared with rivals which have been busy cooperating with credit card issuers , pxmart bucks the trend and only accepts cash .
tsai said banks usually charge handling fees of between 3 percent and 5 percent for card transactions . one time , pxmart ' s information section came back with exciting news , saying that some banks agreed to slash down the handling fee to only 1 . 8 percent .
their sense of achievement was quickly deflated when lin simply waved his hand , saying ,
that ' s not a good idea . we ' d just hand over every penny we earn to the banks .
this shows how minimal the gross margin is , said richard yang ( 楊瑞昌 ) , special assistant to the chairman , adding that their products are on average 10 to 15 percent cheaper than those at hypermarkets .
people here eat quite different things from westerners and even other asians and as such , the supermarkets stock mostly what the locals eat . i’ve compiled a list of all the local supermarkets below and i have written a short description about the ones i’ve been to . if anyone has additional information , please feel free to email me .
carrefour is the biggest supermarket in taiwan and as a french company , they stock some imported items , although depending on where you live these things might sell our more quickly than in some other areas and the selection also vary . they have specials at times when they import a selected amount of items from specific countries and they’ve had big drives for us food and thai food in the past . they stock things like yogurt ( although quite expensive and usually not that good ) , french cheese ( again quite expensive ) , cereal ( also quite expensive ) , a wide range of tinned and canned food and of course french wine . some carrefours are open 24h , seven days a week .
wellcome is a chinese supermarket chain and it’s not one i frequent very often . they carry more local things , but have some imported good as well , mainly from the us . as with the larger supermarkets , all branches doesn’t carry the same items , so it’s worth looking around . they do at times carry some hard to find items and are usually cheaper than jason’s and c ! ty’super on those items . their shops are usually smaller than carrefour and geant , but the advantage is that all of the shops are open 24h , seven days a week .
sinon is a supermarket i’m not familiar with , as it’s generally located in central taiwan . thanks to joesax over at forumosa i have some more information about this shop . here’s what he had to say :
you mentioned that you’d like more information about sinon ( xinnong ) . it was my local supermarket in taichung . large branches have quite a few imported goods from south - east asia and also from europe . they have some stuff that people posting in the “where can i find” forum found it difficult to get in taipei . however , i didn’t mention it at the time because i wanted to preserve the illusion that people down south eat zongzi and betelnut all day . some people , such as my old boss , think that because the company was originally an agrochemical manufacturer , they know not to let their suppliers put too much pesticide on their vegies ! i’m not sure about that . if you go there when the sinon bulls baseball team have just won a game , you get an automatic discount .
taisuco , the taiwan sugar company , also has a few large stores in southern taiwan and i know of one small location in taipei , near shida rd . i don’t have any experience with these stores . they’re meant to offer discount coupon books ( similar to costco ) a couple of times a year ranging from nt $ 1 , 000 - 3 , 000 in terms of discount , with with each coupon being worth about nt $ 100 . ( thanks to tainancowboy from forumosa for the update ) . there’s one located near taipower station in taiwan , but it looks like nothing more than small wellcome .
for those with a bit more money to spend , there are also some upmarket supermarkets here , although there’s only a few of them , so you’ll have to do some traveling to get there in most cases .
first up we have jasons , the one i’ve been to is located in the bottom of the 101 . they used to have a wide selection of imported food from all - over the world , but the store in the 101 building has about halved in size due to the fact that din tai fong moved in next door and took over a lot of their space , so it’s not as good of a supermarket as it was a few years ago . they’re anything but cheap , although if you’re looking for something special , this might be a good place to find it . they’re big on organic and healthy stuff as well and if you have special dietary needs , then this might be the place for you . don’t bother with the deli counter for sliced meats , as the staff isn’t very knowledgeable and the stock is also quite limited . sometimes you can score a bargain or two here , especially when they have a promotion or sale going . recently jasons has been expanding with multiple new , smaller stores around the island . the company has also taken over a few wellcome stores in taipei and possibly elsewhere .
next up we have c ! ty’super which again offers a wide range of imported goods , although more so from japan and the uk it seems than from other parts of the world . they’ve improved over the past couple of years and they have the best supermarket delicatessen which among other things sells locally made ham ( as in real ham , not processed square stuff ) that is much cheaper than the imported options . they do of course also have a wide range of imported deli - meats and cheeses as well , but the selection can vary immensely depending on when they got new stock in . this is also a good place for various other odds and ends such as fancy olive oil , tinned / canned goods and some harder to find baking ingredients . if you didn’t find what you were looking for in jason’s , this might be the next best place to find it . this is also the only place i’ve found that sells decent cheese slicers and graters in taiwan .
breeze super is as far as i know , a one off supermarket located in the basement of the breeze center located on fuxing south road . this is a japanese supermarket , but they import a lot of stuff from all - over the world , although most of what they offer is available in jason’s or c ! ty’super . i don’t have a link to a website for them and if you know of one , please get in touch .
shin kong mitsukoshi also has its own supermarkets , although not every store has one . they mainly stock japanese food , but as with most of these upmarket stores , you can also find some imported items . recently it seems like their selection of imported items from outside of asia has shrunk somewhat , possibly due to poor sales .
a more recent addition ( it opened in late 2012 ) is mangiamo good meats / 滿甲熟肉舖 which is a small deli that uses locally produced ingredients to create mostly italian and french style deli products . they do also make their own bacon as well as a wide range of sausages and spanish style chorizo ( both fresh and cured ) . if you’re unsure about their products , they offer a couple of different sample platters that you can order and try on location . if you’re after something a little bit special , this is the place to visit .
then there’s of course costco which is the place to go to if you have a big fridge and freezer to fill . i’d suggest getting a costco membership , it’s currently nt $ 1 , 500 for a year and you’ll save it on your first couple of trips there . it’s the cheapest place for cereal ( bulk size ) , cheese , meat and loads of other stuff . more recently they’ve also started to carry things like greek yoghurt and feta cheese and they also have smaller packs of cheese that you might have a chance to finish before it goes moldy . you can also get other useful things here like bread makers , small ovens ( ovens aren’t a common household item in taiwan , but more on that another time ) and just about anything else you could need for your kitchen . costco has recently ( in 2014 ) updated their website and is posting all their special offers on the website now , in both chinese and english .
ikea also stocks a certain amount of imported swedish food , although the selection isn’t huge , it is a great place for us scandinavians to go when we have a craving for something from home . that said , more and more stuff from ikea is no longer made in sweden , but rather by whatever partner ikea wants to work with and branded ikea . the store near the taipei arena ( inside asiaworld ) usually sells out really quick , so if you’re trying to get hold of something special , you might want to try to get to one of the other stores . they normally stock things like tunnbröd , polarkakor ( or at least an ikea version of it ) , knäckebröd , kaviar ( not seen that in years ) , jam , frozen meatballs and a selection of swedish sweets and crisps . they also have a selection of swedish cider , beer and alcohol . this is also the only place to get julmust when it’s that time of the year .
hola is a local version of ikea to some fashion and they also sell a few food items , mostly imported things and you can find some bargains there at times . they have various size stores and the larger ones usually have a bigger selection of grocery items .
another place that i have yet to visit that sells food in bulk is pnp food which seems to stock a lot of specialty items . they normally sell to the hotel and catering business , but they will sell to walk - ins at their warehouse address which can be found on their website . they will also order in special things for you , but be prepared to order large amounts at a time .
it’s also worth visiting your local “wet market” which might have many of the items you’d want , especially fruit and vegetables which can be of much better quality and at lower prices than what you’d get in the supermarkets . local stores can also stock various hard to find items and i recently found that a very local little vegetable and what not shop near where i live stock beetroot when it’s in season . the flower markets might also be good for fresh herbs , although you’d have to have space to put the plants where you live .
kantar worldpanel pointed out that for the past year * * , the string of food safety incidents had clearly influenced consumer’s behaviour to lean towards the conservative end , where they not only cut back on purchase of non - necessities , number of shopping trips had also declined ; and like many other key retailers , cvs also suffered from decline in shopping population .
* food market refers to consumers goods including packaged food and beverage . * * the past year refers to 52 weeks ending 2014 / 11 / 30 , and is being compared with the same time last year .

comey testified before a senate panel that is investigating if russia interfered in the 2016 u . s . election
u . s . stocks notched meager gains thursday , but the nasdaq closed at a record after former fbi director james comey’s appearance in front of the u . s . senate intelligence committee concluded without any significant revelations .
rose 8 . 84 points to finish , less than 0 . 1 % , at 21 , 182 . 53 after hitting an intraday record of 21 , 265 . 69 on strong gains in
added 0 . 65 point to close at 2 , 433 . 79 . financials rallied 1 . 1 % while utilities were the biggest decliners .
gained 24 . 38 points , or 0 . 4 % , to end at 6 , 321 . 76 after setting an intraday record of 6 , 324 . 06 .
“it is evident from the market’s reaction that the testimony is more hype than substance , equivalent to preparing for a major storm that may not occur , ” said kent engelke , chief economic strategist at capitol securities management inc .
comey’s testimony is part of a litany of potentially market - moving events playing out over the next 24 hours , including an earlier decision by the european central bank to keep its monetary policy unchanged and a u . k . snap election .
however , wall street investors have signaled that events don’t appear to threaten the stock market’s extended push into record territory , which has been driven by president donald trump’s promises of tax cuts , infrastructure spending and deregulation .
comey’s statement , released wednesday , suggested he was worried trump had sought to secure his “loyalty” and wanted him to help “lift the cloud” from the investigation into possible russian interference in the u . s . election was casting . comey also confirmed the president’s assertion that the director had repeatedly assured trump that the federal bureau of investigation hadn’t opened an investigation into him . he reiterated those assertions during his testimony in front of the senate panel .
engelke , meanwhile , believes that the house passage of legislation to roll back the dodd - frank financial regulatory bill is likely to accelerate circulation of capital in the markets and boost economic activity .
phil orlando , chief equity strategist at federated investors , said absent any surprises , recent events suggests that the stock market should drift higher .
orlando said the u . s . and europe are showing strong quarterly results that may help to support gains in stocks that some strategists and investors view as overvalued .
earlier in the day , the ecb , as expected , left interest rates unchanged but said it continued to expect interest rates “to remain at present levels for an extended period of time , and well past the horizon” of its asset - buying program , which is set to run at least through december . in previous statements , the ecb had said it expected rates “to remain at present or lower levels for an extended period of time . ”
beyond the ecb and comey , investors also were focused on the u . k . general election ,
in the u . k . , voters headed to the polls in an election that turned out to be much more uncertain than predicted . opinion polls are still giving prime minister theresa may’s conservative party the lead , but the big question is whether the party will increase its majority in parliament . polling stations close at 10 p . m . london time , or 5 p . m . eastern , and the first exit polls will be released soon after .

henrik sedin recorded the 1 , 000th point of his nhl career before luca sbisa scored the winner in the third period as the vancouver canucks defeated the florida panthers 2 - 1 on friday night .
vancouver canucks captain becomes the 85th player in league history to reach the mark . 2 : 12
the vancouver captain recorded the 1 , 000th point of his nhl career on a goal in the second period before luca sbisa scored the winner in the third as the canucks defeated the florida panthers 2 - 1 on friday night .
with the canucks down 1 - 0 , sedin won a faceoff in the defensive zone as part of a sequence that eventually resulted in alexander edler finding henrik ' s twin brother daniel in stride for a 2 - on - 1 rush .
with his 36 - year - old legs churning , henrik sedin took a pass from daniel and moved in alone on florida goalie and former vancouver teammate roberto luongo before sliding a backhand through the five - hole .
when i got the breakaway i didn ' t really know what to do ,
said sedin .
i think lu thought i was going to go upstairs , but it was nice to see it go in .
the canucks spilled over the boards to mob their leader as the crowd at rogers arena roared its approval with 5 : 50 gone in the second , a noise level not heard in the building for quite some time .
when i saw my teammates come on the ice , i lost it a little bit ,
said sedin .
it was very special . if i retired today , i think that was the most memorable moment for me as a player .
luongo , who played in vancouver from 2006 to 2014 , then stopped sedin to offer his congratulations as the fans continued their salute .
it was awesome to see that play — eagle to danny to hank . . . on lu ,
said canucks goalie ryan miller , who finished with 34 saves .
it was a beautiful play to kind of cap it off .
sedin is the 85th player in nhl history record 1 , 000 points , and just the 38th to accomplish the feat with one franchise .
it was unreal ,
said sbisa .
that ' s the stuff dreams are made of . that ' s what i dream about when i go to bed . maybe in my next life i ' ll get 1 , 000 points .
jaromir jagr had the goal for florida ( 20 - 19 - 9 ) , which got 30 saves from luongo .
i didn ' t know how to feel ,
luongo said of sedin ' s goal .
obviously i was happy for hank , but not too happy for myself that i let that in .
daniel sedin , who sits at 968 points , had a chance to get one closer to 1 , 000 himself , but his uncontested shot at the empty net with 40 seconds left hit the post . vancouver still managed to hold on from there to pick up a second consecutive victory after going 0 - 1 - 3 .
playing their third game in four nights , the panthers entered friday ' s action on a 1 - 2 - 1 run following a 4 - 3 overtime loss to edmonton on wednesday , and grabbed a 1 - 0 lead at 3 : 45 of the second . jared mccann followed up his own rebound with a slick pass out front to jagr , who buried his ninth of the season , and the 758th of his career .
luca sbisa lifts vancouver to 2 - 1 win over florida . 0 : 24
after sedin got his 1 , 000th point to tie it up in the second , sven baertschi had a chance give vancouver its first lead later in the period only to be denied by luongo . the florida goalie then stopped sbisa on a short - handed chance after getting caught out of position .

ex - pro phil gaimon found that out late last october , the same weekend he also found out his pro career was over . after the team he’d been hoping to sign a contract with named its 2017 roster , and he wasn’t on it , gaimon went out on a group ride in los angeles . without intending to , he set a new fastest time on the strava segment that runs up nichols canyon road to mullholland drive—one of more than 10 million user - generated timed routes on the social cycling app .
“my phone blew up like i just won the tour de france , ” he says .
in his eight - year career , gaimon won the redlands bicycle classic twice , in 2012 and ’15 , and finished second to colombian nairo quintana in the 2014 tour of san luis—that same year , quintana won both il giro and la vuelta . as proud as gaimon was about his achievements as a pro , somehow people were more impressed by this 9 : 57 strava record on the nichols canyon route . and , gaimon says , “i could name 50 guys who could smash me . ”
“people are taking strava too seriously , ” he says . so while he still had some lasting fitness from his pro career , and before he has to get a real job , gaimon figured he’d become the cycling version of that internet fiend : a strava troll .
to shave weight he cut most of the curved drops off his cannondale’s handlebars and took off the brakes—the bike is now below the minimum weight rules on the pro tour—and wears a one - piece skin suit .
“here’s what it looks like when you take strava too seriously , ” he says .
on his first attempt , on palomar , he missed the 51 : 15 king of the mountain record by eight seconds . he missed out on mount diablo in northern california , too , because park rangers had closed the top of the mountain , and after riding all the way up he had to stop short . since those first two defeats , though , he earned the top spot on both lemmon and mitchell .
however , gaimon’s project isn’t working quite the way he had hoped . not because of the couple of failed attempts at taking koms , but because of the project’s overall success . “somehow , ” he says , “i don’t look as stupid as i want to . ”
a dozen companies have signed on to support his web series . “i have better sponsors than when i was racing , ” he says . when he showed up to make a recent attempt on lookout mountain near denver , his director suggested crowdsourcing the video . about 40 fans showed up and spent half a day helping shoot video on their phones . one guy showed up naked holding a giant cookie—gaimon is a self - confessed cookie devotee .
and the frustrating addictive - ness of social media has even started to break gaimon’s pro racer sensibilities .
“i know i don’t care that i have that crown , ” he says . “i know i don’t care . ” but really he does . “i couldn’t force myself to train just for like fitness , but i could go hard if there was a segment . which is super dumb , ” he says .
“there’s still deep down a petty part of me that wants that virtual image of a crown next to my name , although it means nothing , ” he says . he already has his final worst retirement ever ride planned : a return to palomar . after coming so close on his first attempt there , he can’t just ride away .

tauro sport auto is a spanish manufacturer of luxury sports cars based in valladolid , founded in 2010 , when a group of spanish businessmen joined with a british manufacturer of racing cars to create the company .

their most popular model is the tauro v8 , it is based on the mechanical underpinnings i.e. chassis of the pontiac solstice and is powered by a chevrolet-sourced powertrain as its base engine and is offered in four variants : spider , coupe , saeta and portago .

the spider is based on the kappa platform , purchased from gm .

new body styling and a range of big v-8 has replaced the turbocharged four cylinder , the interior design has now some modifications , upgraded in materials and given a variety of colors .

the tauro 's core markets include the european union , russia , united arab emirates , china , and america .

tauro sport auto

tauro sport auto v8 spider . | saturn sky windscreen | pinterest | spider , pontiac solstice and luxury sports cars
there is a fledgling carmaker called tauro auto sport out of spain . they have vision and smarts about them many automakers lack . their logo is the silhoette of a bull . similar to lamborghini except the bull for tauro auto sport holds its head up high . and they’ve recently dropped the veil of their first production model . it’s called the v8 spider . the upstart of a brand new automaker can be tremendously pricey , but tauro auto sport has saved themselves quite a bit of cash by pillaging the general motors parts bin of defunct vehicles . in this case the pontiac solstice .
it’s difficult to predict what kind of impact the v8 spider will have on the auto world . its rumored they may only build 30 of them . this model anyway . really it’s about where tauro auto sport will take things from there . tauro auto sport has already introduced renderings of a hardtop coupe . and depending on their success they have several options , such as building a whole new car from the same chassis . or following the trend of hyper hybrid sports cars .
they have taken the chassis and built a new body around it but kept the interior . tauro has reinforced the suspension , handling and breaking capabilities of their version . the reason is that the solstice came with a maximum power plant of 260 horsepower from a turbocharged 2 . 0 liter . tauro auto sport has dropped in a corvette 6 . 2 liter v8 with performance ranging from 480 , 530 to 650 horsepower . in the tiny little frame of a solstice that makes the v8 spider a speed demon .
that company is tauro , which at a recent event announced the new v8 spider and rolled out two examples of the car .
there is a great deal of promise for tauro auto sport . there are a million directions they could take this car . the solstice was just beginning to come into its own before pontiac folded and the conceptual ideas that pontiac was toying with were nothing short of astounding . besides that there are several car designers out there such as ugur sahin who churns out countless mind blowing designs as if it were child’s play . the 2014 tauro auto sport v8 spider may not be the sexiest car to look at on first glance but that’s hardly the point . the chassis and power plant are both proven success stories and utilizing them as the underpinning of a new car sets them ahead of the game by strides . really it’s a wonder general motors didn’t think of this themselves . take a bunch of spare parts lying around and make something new and exciting . it would have cost them nothing . instead , in a remarkable lack of foresight and vision , general motors sold those parts to someone else who is taking those parts and making cars to sell at $ 125k . but this very lack of vision is likely what got general motors in the hot seat they’re in now .
the tauro v8 spider is based on the chassis of a pontiac solstice but gets a 6 . 2 - liter ls3 v - 8 engine sourced from gm .
this is the same engine found in the corvette supercar and in the tauro v8 spider it is rated at 440 horsepower and 442 pound - feet of torque and is matched to either a manual or automatic transmission .
a pontiac solstice , a jaguar f - type , an alfa 8c , and a corvette walk into a spanish bar , get hella drunk , and later have a massive orgy . from the aftermath emerges the tauro sport v8 spider : a thoroughly redesigned gm kappa car with an ls3 . the want is so very real . tremec 6 - speed , six - piston front brakes , four - piston rears , optional adjustable dampers , and up to 530 hp / 489 lb / ft pulling only 2900 lbs . now just tell me how to get one in the states .
the standard gearbox is a manual six - speed close - ratio , however , the red tauro v8 spider is fitted with an optional general motors - sourced automatic paddle - shift gearbox . the tauro also gets a limited slip differential , independent suspension on both axles with double wishbones , monotube shocks and springs . the brakes are 360mm ventilated discs with six - piston calipers at the front , at the rear , disks are 335mm ventilated with four - piston calipers .
should a customer desire greater performance , tauro will happily install some power upgrades . modifications to the camshafts and cylinder heads lift output to 480 horsepower , and if even more performance is demanded a supercharging kit will offer as much as 650 horsepower .
so far only two cars have been built though tauro plans a small run of 30 cars altogether . the company is currently taking orders and expects final pricing to come in at roughly 100 , 000 euros ( approximately $ 125 , 315 ) .
the car scene is so diverse where i come from , most enthusiasts recognize the amazing engineering ( particularly the engines ) . the bulk of the ridicule originates from the manner in which many of the vehicles are modded / maintained . thus , the jokes and or hate tends to be aimed more at the owner rather than the machine . all of which makes seeing properly sorted old toyota ' s and hondas at car meets , auto shows , and track days all the more refreshing .
a new player has entered the sports car market , the tauro v8 spider manufactured in valladolid , spain . the spider was officially unveiled recently , it’s a two - seater roadster manufactured entirely in spain . just 30 will be built for the initial production run , each one tailored to the individual customer . motorpasion relayed details of the car after attending the official presentation hosted by spanish model nieves alvarez .
2019 bmw m850i priced from $ 112 , 895 , arrives in . . .
following the launch of the stylish spano supercar from gta motors back in march , and the announcement last month of a new model from aspid , another company based in spain is now celebrating the launch of a new v - 8 powered convertible sports car .
inside , premium leather can be found on most surfaces and can be ordered in virtually any color .

two examples of the roadster have been built so far , a black and red example . we’re told that it takes the pontiac solstice underpinnings and adds a 6 . 2 liter v8 ls3 e - rod engine sourced through gm . the huge powerplant produces 440hp at 6 , 200rpm and 586nm at 4 , 400rpm . optional upgrades to the engine camshafts and cylinder heads boost those figures to 480hp and 644nm of torque . further options are tipped to release 530hp and 663nm of torque and even as much as 650hp .
as far as design goes , the pontiac solstice connection is obvious . the engine is front - mounted with the driver sitting far back , almost over the rear wheels . the bodywork is bespoke and blends elements of the most popular roadsters into a small soft top package . we’re told that the weight distribution is 52 % - 48 % in favour of the front with an overall weight of just 1 , 200kg .
the price is expected to be around 100 , 000 euros . our friends over at urltoken point out that we’ve already seen an american v8 packed into the tiny solstice platform by way of the breckland beira v8 roadster . that particular project folded in july 2009 without a single customer car delivered .
