Driver of the Week...

JP Lariviere, a competition truck off-roader, drives “the Reaper,” a 1985 Toyota 4Runner, heavily modified for rock crawling. “If any vehicle could have a personality, I have to say this one does!”

Power, glory and green in FRANKFURT, Germany: While there was a green theme running through it, the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show was a return to the glory days of splendor and JIM ROBINSON Metroland style. Media Everywhere you Carguide looked, eye-popping Magazine vehicles made people feel that in the green days of tomorrow there will still be cars with passion we want to drive. Perhaps the biggest draw at Frankfurt was the world debut of the 11th generation Porsche 911. The familiar athletic appearance of the 911 has a 100 mm longer wheelbase, reduced height and up to 20-inch diameter alloy wheels. The 911 Carrera has a new 350 hp 3.4-litre, flat six, direct injection engine and optional seven-speed PDK transmission returning 34.4 mpg. Also celebrating a world premiere at Frankfurt was the Panamera Diesel powered by a 3.0-litre V6 developing 250 hp. Power is handled by an eight-speed Tiptronic S automatic transmission driving the rear wheels.

FRANKFURT The 11th generation of the iconic Porsche 911 was a huge draw at the Frankfurt Motor Show.

For me, it was not blood red Italian supercars or cold-blooded German autobahn panzers that stole the show in Frankfurt, but a Euro sports sedan from all places – Korea. Kia, which can’t seem to put a foot wrong, showed up in Geneva with the GT Concept that, with its 3.3-litre twin turbo direct injection engine and rear-wheel drive, had to shake BMW, Mercedes and Audi. Of the three all-electric concepts on the Audi stand, the most interesting was the four-seat A2 concept, looking like it wouldn’t take much to put into

production. It features state-of-the-art multi-material hybrid construction plus space-age specifications including contact-free battery charging, by-wire steering and braking, LED matrix lighting technology and a semiautonomous running mode. Weighing just 1,150 kg, an electric motor is transversely mounted in the front, and delivers 115 hp of peak power to the front wheels via a single-speed transmission. This power output permits a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 9.3 seconds and a top speed of 93 mph.

Following are some of the cars making news this week in Frankfurt: AUDI Audi had a huge presence at Frankfurt, starting with the A8 hybrid that uses a four-cylinder gasoline engine for the first time in

an Audi model at this level, offering performance befitting its 241 hp and 354 lb/ft of torque. The Audi A8 hybrid can drive up to 100 km/h purely on electric power

and has a range of up to 1.86 miles at a constant 37 mph. Audi also revealed four new highperformance Audi S models sharing one Continued on Pg. B4

Driver of the Week: Continued from Pg. B3

After a car accident in 2002, JP Lariviere “decided to only drive 4x4s with tires that dwarf most cars, have enough metal and tubing around me for protection and of course, the passion to go where most can’t – off all the ‘normal’ trails Vancouver Island has to offer!” One of the drivers and vehicles taking to the Tough Truck Challenge course at the Luxton Fair this weekend, Lariviere and “the Reaper” share a fearless approach to the challenge ahead. A capable, well-built, heavily modified 4Runner, the appearance to most resembles a Toyota truck, however, a closer look reveals the remnants of the old 4Runner body, Lariviere says. The long-serving vehicle will be retired from offroading for a major overhaul, after this weekend’s event, including a future “with a 350, four-bolt main, fuel-injected power plant, a 700 r4 auto tranny with a Dana 300 and doubler,” Lariviere says. The improvements aren’t likely to change the truck’s core, though. “If any vehicle could have a personality, I have to say this one does,” Lariviere says. “It was named the Reaper as it reaps others that dare to follow. It has wheeled where ‘it’ wanted to go…so strap on the five-point harness, put the ARB front locker on, ram both t-cases in low and let it crawl!” While favourite moments in the Reaper have likely been many, Lariviere recalls a particular highlight from New Year’s Day 2007. To celebrate each New Year, a group of off-roaders participates in the Jan. 1 Snow Run. That year, “when following Mike Bragg in his Jeep XJ up a well-known trail in Shawnigan, the snow was deep, darkness just hit and we were hammering up the elevated trail.” Both throttled up the trail, with Bragg making it to the top and turning left to a level clearing. But when Lariviere drove his passenger-side front tire up a tree just before the top of the trail, the Toyota rolled softly over onto its driver’s side. “No damage, due to the full exo cage and soft snow – all I could do with the driver’s window open, the cab full of snow and looking up through the passenger door window was reach over, grab the dangling CB mic and radio out to Mike, ‘I’m done!” Find out more about the Luxton Tough Truck Challenge on page B17.

Chevy Volt begins shipping to Canadian dealerships Metroland Media Carguide Magazine

Kevin Williams, president and managing director for General Motors of Canada, is shown with the first shipment of Chevrolet Volts destined for Canadian dealerships.

The award-winning Chevrolet Volt has started shipping to Canadian dealerships, heading for retail customers in Victoria, as well as Vancouver, Toronto, Oshawa, Ottawa-Gatineau, Montreal and Quebec City. Kevin Williams, president and managing director for General Motors of Canada, released the first Canadian Volt customer shipments at an event in Oshawa, and dealers will begin

delivering vehicles now. Chevrolet Volt is an electric vehicle with extended range. Powered by GM’s revolutionary Voltec propulsion system, it consists of a 16-kWh lithium-ion battery pack and electric drive unit that provide battery electric range between 40 and 80 km, depending on terrain, driving techniques and temperature. After the battery is depleted, an enginegenerator seamlessly extends Volt’s range an additional 500 km by generating electricity to operate the vehicle’s electric drive system.

SPX provides home-charging solutions for Volt customers Metroland Media Carguide Magazine

SPX and Chevrolet Canada have launched SPX Home Charging Installation services for Chevrolet Volt customers in Canada, providing an option that can cut charging times for electric vehicle batteries by more than half. The Chevrolet Volt contains a 16 kWh Li-ion battery pack that takes about 10 hours for a full charge using a regular

120V outlet. By installing a 240V charging station through SPX Home Charging Installation, the charge time is reduced to four hours, enabling customers to take full advantage of the environmental and cost benefits, where applicable, of off-peak charging. SPX provides Chevrolet Volt customers with a one-stop, turnkey solution to select and install the proper equipment to charge their plug-in

electric vehicle, and is the authorized retailer for Voltec electric vehicle supply equipment in Canada and the U.S. As the exclusive provider on the program, the SPX electric vehicle team will manage all aspects of home charging, including home surveys, installations, permitting, inspections, coordination with utilities, and postinstallation services. The Voltec charging station has been designed for residential use with the

Volt, and has an MSRP of $490. As an additional option, SPX will also offer its PowerXpress charge station to Volt owners. The PowerXpress has an MSRP of $749, and is available in both a plugin and hardwired configurations. Installation costs will vary, with SPX offering a range of options depending on home and charging configurations starting at $300. The average installation is expected to cost $1,100.

Volvo and Siemens launch electric mobility partnership Metroland Media Carguide Magazine

Volvo Car Corporation and Siemens intend to jointly advance the technical development of electric cars through extensive strategic cooperation. The focus is on the joint development of electrical drive technology, power electronics and charging technology as well as the integration of those systems into Volvo C30 Electric vehicles. The first electric cars of this model fitted with Siemens electric motors will be on the test tracks as early as the end

of this year. Beginning in late 2012, the Swedish carmaker will deliver a test series of up to 200 vehicles to Siemens, which will then be tested and validated under real-life conditions as part of a Siemens internal test fleet. The partnership gives Siemens the chance to extend its industrial leadership in electric drive technology into the automotive market together with a renowned vehicle manufacturer. Volvo Car Corporation will be relying on proven and efficient Siemens technology for the electrification of its future vehicles.

Siemens electric motors developed for Volvo have a peak power output of 108 kilowatts with a maximum torque of 220 Nm. The inverter design will be jointly optimized to meet all safety requirements in an automotive application. In addition, Siemens will provide highly efficient and fast onboard and off-board charging systems. Volvo Car Corporation starts smallscale production of the Volvo C30 Electric this year, and next year the company will start selling the Volvo V60 Plug-in Hybrid.

After starting Bell Allergy Relief one capsule at night I felt like born again the next morning. Therese Noto, 58, New York, NY. Proof that it really works!

ARTHRITIS

Pain free in 2 weeks!

This is what happened to me personally. After suffering for years I desperately tried everything, drugs, natural products, physiotherapy, acupuncture, magnets and nothing was of any real help. Finally I had relief in 2 weeks by taking shark cartilage that was specially processed to preserve the natural active ingredients. This is the kind we are now promoting. I realized then that there are over 50 million men and women that are battling the same illness and getting treatments that are not working well, otherwise we would not have this ongoing huge health problem. In the last 10 years we have helped tens of thousands of men and women to have less pain or no pain at all. This is a by-product of the food industry. No sharks are caught because of their bones/cartilage. Don’t let anybody confuse you. Nick A. Jerch, President We have real EVIDENCE that it works. On our web site you find over 100’s of testimonials with full names and towns. All 100% true. Skeptics may call them. Here are some examples: � Doctor suggested knee replacement after all his options failed with drugs #1 and cortisone shots in knee and lower back. I recommend Bell Shark Cartilage to those millions suffering needlessly like I did for 40 years with arthritis in my knees. It's a shame that I was given drugs and injections all these years when a natural medicine could have spared me the endless torture day and night. Pat Laughlin, Coldwater, ON �My hip is 95% pain free. Pain killing drugs mask and Bell Shark Cartilage heals. Rebecca Hite, Oroville, CA�I tried another brand and pain came back. 2 weeks on Bell and pain is gone again. Gert Dupuis, Hanmer, ON�Cancelled knee replacement. I was in pain and limping. Have no more pain now. Can square dance for hours. Anton Melnychuk, Porcupine Plain, SK.�For 32 years I cried barrels of tears. Was in and out of hospitals costing society tens of thousands of dollars. I have taken many thousands of pills that nearly killed me. Finally 3 bottles of Bell Shark Cartilage costing less than $100 stopped a lifetime of suffering without side effects. Eleanor Sauson, Shigawake, QC�Others write: Can walk again for hours…Climb stairs without hanging on to railing…First time in 15 years can sleep at night…Rheumatoid pain in joints down 90%, same for my sister.

ACNE

By Dr. C. Hammoud Ph.D.

Eczema Psoriasis Rosacea Rashes

�I had terrible Acne for 3 years and tried Benzoyl Peroxide, Proactiv, Aloe Vera and others. After 4 days taking the Bell natural product #60 it started to clear up my skin. My skin changed from terrible to beautiful. Mylene Theriault, 19, Sorel-Tracy, QC �In 2 days my son’s face completely cleared up of acne. My son is 15 and suffered for 3 years. We used many products like laser, Clean Clear, Neem that did not work or burned his skin. Veronica Marden, Seminole, TX �Unbelievable acne free beautiful skin Last couple of years I had acne and tried every product like Murad, Proactiv and antibiotics. Results with #60 were unbelievable. Thanks for giving me beautiful skin and my self-esteem. Nelisa Royer, 28, Doral, FL �Within 6 days eczema cleared up completely. I believe #60 #60 addresses the cause internally instead of the symptoms. Latifa Boutshik, 43, North York, ON �I had severe psoriasis over 95% Guaranteed better than all others they used say dozens of of my body. Last 5 years I have stunned every doctor and delighted users with full names and dermatologist. I spent tons of money on remedies. After I got Bell towns on the Bell website. Works #60, I’ve never seen anything work as fast in my life. Within 2 days I by cleansing blood inside rather saw my skin clearing up. I’m speechless. It was inexpensive than attacking skin from the outside compared with what I spent before. Jessica Shantz, 25, Dawson Creek, and leaving the actual cause untreated. Here are a few examples: BC �All statements made on the Bell website are sent by delighted users. All are real people. Most have listed phone numbers and can be called for advice. No money is paid to them. Their reward is the relief they are getting. All say #60 works within days not months, not years. It’s more effective than what they used before. It is less expensive (some acne suppliers ship monthly and charge monthly, which may amount to large sums yearly). No side effects were reported on #60. All true experiences from real people.

Road rule reminders for the busy back to school weeks By Kate Wells DriveWise bc

The first few weeks of back to school can be a busy time for drivers, pedestrians, cyclists and other road users. Getting used to school zones once again is proving to be a difficult task for some drivers who still choose to disobey the speed limit in school zones. School zones are in effect from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Friday

(school days). If a 30km/hour sign is posted beneath the school zone, motorists must slow to 30 km/hour. If there isn’t a sign posted, drivers must slow their speed when children are on the roads. This is likely before school starts and after the school day ends, when children are walking to and from school. Police officers are also on the lookout for drivers who disobey rules regarding school buses. Drivers MUST stop for school buses when the lights are flashing

and the stop sign is activated. This includes drivers travelling in both directions as children are likely to be crossing the road. The common misconception is that only drivers behind the school bus must stop, however this is not the case. Getting caught passing a school bus when lights and stop signs are activated means a $167 fine and three points on your licence. The message for drivers during the busy back to school weeks: slow

down, obey school zone rules and watch and obey school buses as well.

For professional mechanics and hobbyists alike, the not-so-fun part of working under the hood of many full-size trucks and sport utility vehicles is precariously balancing over the grille or fender while fumbling for your tools. It’s downright uncomfortable and potentially damaging to the vehicle and to yourself. The Elevator, from Nomad Manufacturing, solves this problem by providing a combination platform and tool tray.

CANADA’S

Local 4x4 enthusiasts will rise to the challenge this weekend when the Luxton Tough Truck Challenge rolls onto Langford’s Luxton Fairgrounds. A Luxton Fair fan favourite, the competition has drivers maneuvering their roll cage-equipped vehicles over man-made obstacles. Competition results are based on points with the driver accumulating the least amount of points declared the winner. “You never know – every year is different!” says organizer Zillah Erickson, noting that several years ago action included one competitor doing a full back somersault while trying to negotiate the obstacles during his run. Pre-registration gets under way this Friday (Sept. 16) until 9 p.m. and Saturday morning until event time. The entry fee is $60. All vehicles registered for the Luxton

(4wd) Tough Truck Challenge are subject to a vehicle inspection and participants must sign a waiver. For fans, the Luxton Tough Truck Challenge gets under way at 11 a.m. both Saturday and Sunday. Admission is $15/ adults; $10/seniors & youth age 11 to 18; free for those under 11. For more details, contact Zillah Erickson at 250-478-3400.
