W

hen it comes to weddings there are generally two types of women: the ones who know exactly what they want from their big day as they’ve been planning it since they were eight, and the others who, once that engagement ring goes on, realise they have no clue what to do next.

This week, MWP is speaking to both, and if you are newly engaged, or planning a wedding, this magazine is for you.

It’s been a great week to be a girl in the MWP off ce – we have been poring over wedding photos and talking about rings, venues, f owers and proposals.

We’ve discussed wedding traditions and compared gowns, and shared plenty of stories as we have put together this magazine.

In this week’s cover story we have tips and ideas for the bride to be on the initial steps of planning her (and his) big day. That’s over the page.

In agenda we share a few wedding traditions and what they mean. A wedding is an event that carries a huge amount of history and tradition, and if you don’t know what a bomboniere is or why you need something old, new, borrowed and blue, head to page 24.

We have a huge f ve pages of fashion, including three pages dedicated to dressing for a wedding. That all starts on page 27. And for a bit of celebrity watching, on celeb style on page 16 we take a look at a few famous couples who have walked down the aisle, while in My Property Preview we are checking out incredible wedding venues of the rich and famous. Prepare to dream on page 38.

The bottom line

Tips to reduce costs

We all know weddings can be expensive. Bride to Be magazine’s Cost of Love survey puts the f nal tally, including rings and honeymoon, at a whopping $54,000.

It’s a huge outlay for the average couple and if that f gure is giving you heart palpitations we’ve got a few tips to help keep the costs down.

You could choose to get married on the beach and have a picnic in the park or a cocktail party in your backyard. If you really want to keep it simple, allocate everyone with a plate or a drink to bring to the celebrations.

But if you want the full party with all the razzamatazz there are still some things you can do to cut costs.

Clio’s on Rosemount function manager Tracey Lange says holding your wedding on a weekday can discount the cost of your venue, and serving your wedding cake as the dessert can cut catering costs.

Lange says the chef at some venues can also make the cake. “Transport, wedding dresses, cakes and f owers blow out the budget,” she tells MWP. But there are areas she says you shouldn’t skimp on. “Having a good photographer is one of the most important things.”

And she recommends you forget about the jukebox and leave your iPad at home because they almost always kill the atmosphere and often make for an early night. Live entertainment is always worth the investment.

1. Choose the things that are most important to you and spend the money on them instead of things less important to you.

[ 8 ] MY W EEKLY P RE VIE W \ FE B RUARY 28, 20 1 4

8.indd 1

2. Venues often discount weddings held through the week.

3. Serve your cake as dessert.

4. Ask the venue if they can make your cake.

5. Make your own stationery, place cards and bomboniere.

6. If tradition isn’t important, consider having a stunning evening dress made or buy one.

7. Instead of favours supply a bowl of your favourite chocolates or lollies on each table or on the gift table with a message of thanks.

Budget bits to think about 1. Ask exactly what is included in the price of every service you are buying.

2. Check whether the venue supplies everything including tables, chairs, crockery, cutlery and centrepieces.

3. Some venues charge extra for things like bread rolls or to cut and plate the cake.

4. Flowers that aren’t in season or grown locally will cost more or won’t be available.

MWP asked four married ladies what they would change about their big day.

Here is what they had to say: “I would involve my parents more. We had a really small wedding, so there wasn’t much planning and I just did it all myself. But now I realise it’s a special day that you only get to experience once, so I wish I’d let Mum and Dad be more involved.”

Nicky “ be more wary about ordering my dress “I’d online. I had a bad experience with a company that didn’t deliver what I’d been promised, and I ended up with a dress that was the wrong size and colour two weeks out from the wedding. In the end I found a beautiful replacement – also online – but it was a stress and cost I didn’t need!”

Glenda ““I’d set aside a private moment with my new husband after the ceremony, even if it was just h a minute or two. It’s such a busy day, with so many people and photos – it sounds silly, but at the end of the night it felt like we’d barely spoken to each other all day.”

Lauren “I “ wouldn’t scrimp on photography. We had a family friend offer to take our photos, which was nice of them, but if I could do it again I’d definitely pay for a professional.”

Advice for grooms BE PART OF THE PLANNING This day is about you too, so if you have opinions or desires, voice them. There might be a key aspect of the day that you can control, such as the transport, music or menu; otherwise try to look after the things that affect you, like the suits. Look for tasks that are suited to your skills: build decorations, design invites or keep track of the receipts and paperwork.

PLAY DRESS UPS When you pick up the suits, have a full dress rehearsal and try everything on – suits, shirts, ties, cuff inks and shoes – to make sure it f ts and is comfortable. This gives you time to f x any issues before the big day.

GET A HAIRCUT As well as standing up in front of your nearest and dearest, a wedding means photos. Lots of them. You’ll want to scrub up for the ceremony, so get a haircut two or three days before. (If your groomsmen are a bit scruffy book them in as well.)

BOOK SOME DANCING LESSONS If you’re not particularly gifted in the choreography department the bridal waltz will be a challenge. To calm the nerves head along to a couple of professional lessons with your f ancee, or get a friend to teach you some basic steps.

Cut While this refers to the shape of a diamond – round, emerald, princess and so on – what jewellers are really talking about with regards to the cut is how well-proportioned the diamond is. Every diamond, no matter its shape, gets its brilliancy by how light enters the stone and ref ects back. An expert will cut the stone to make the most of the light. Basically, a well-cut stone will sparkle much more (and be worth much more) than one that has been poorly cut.

Colour Diamonds come in many colours, but unless you are lucky (and wealthy) enough to be after a pink diamond, your typical diamond will be in the white range. A white or colourless stone will be rated from D (which is colourless) to Z (a light yellow). A diamond that is colourless (D, E or F) allows light to pass through, adding to its brilliancy (and price).

Clarity All diamonds will come with a clarity rating.

Clarity refers to the presence or absence of internal

PLAN A SURPRISE Your bride-to-be will be fairly stressed the week before the wedding, so a heartfelt gift or gesture will be well received.

Whether it’s a voucher for a massage, a CD to listen to while she gets ready or a special song at the reception, make sure there are a few aspects of the day she’s not expecting.

STAY CALM Weddings can be stressful. They involve lots of planning, a few too many relatives and hundreds of little things that can go wrong. Try not to get too stressed, and if your f ancee is at risk of becoming Bridezilla, don’t suggest you call the whole thing off and go on a surf trip instead – just remind her this day is about the two of you.

MAKE A LIST If you are assigned tasks, make sure you write them down and get them done. Otherwise you’ll end up like UK groom Neil McArdle, who called in a fake bomb threat to cover up the fact he’d forgotten to submit some important wedding forms. The whole venue was evacuated and McArdle was sentenced to jail as a result.

The right venue

Diamonds are forever When searching for the perfect engagement ring it pays to go to your jeweller armed with knowledge of the four c’s. You see, a diamond gets its value not just from how big it is (carat) but also the cut, colour and clarity. Confused? Read on.

That way you can enjoy your f rst dance as a married couple without worrying you’re going to trip your new wife over.

f aws and surface blemishes known as inclusions.

A f awless diamond will be much more brilliant than a f awed one, as the light will have no interference when it enters the diamond. However, f awless diamonds are incredibly rare and valuable. Most diamonds contain at least some inclusions, though obviously the more they have the lower the value a diamond is given.

Carat Diamonds are weighed in carats (which is equal to .2 grams). One carat is divided into 100 points, so you will hear a jeweller say a diamond is 75 or 50 points, rather than three-quarters or half a carat. And as you now know, a carat is just part of the equation in working out a diamond’s value. A badly cut twocarat diamond with lots of inclusions will not have the brilliancy or value of a f awless, perfectly cut one-carat stone. Bigger isn’t always better, r, or more pricey.

Cotton Tree’s NY2K has sa gs, range of gorgeous rings, such as these pictured, or if you have something in ke mind, can custom make ce. your perfect piece.

Searching for the perfect wedding venue?

Kellie Armstrong from The Lake House in Brightwater shares her tips for finding the right one.

• Make sure your venue provides a wet-weather option.

• Parking is important – don’t forget to ask about it.

• Check whether audiovisual equipment is included in the hire costs.

• Check your venue’s bathrooms. Pristine bathrooms are a must.

• The venue should ideally provide an option for in between the ceremony and reception.

• Ensure you are provided with a quote detailing all inclusions before you pay your deposit.

“We value add where we can for our couples. My advice is to look for a venue that can deliver the ceremony, catering and service for in between the ceremony and reception, and a beautiful bespoke reception area you can fall in love with.”

Top tips for brides

Curves ahead You won’t be able to take MWP’s Dianna Mullins with you when you shop for your gown, but here is the next best thing – her tips of choosing the right dress for your shape.

“Remember a wedding dress will have all the usual shape rules and because all eyes will be on you it is the day to follow them! If you have shape, embrace it and show it off, but if you don’t have curves you can create them with clever designs. Direct eyes to your feature and use fabric, style, decoration and a quality finish to achieve your standout and memorable look.”

Petite Try an empire line to elongate the body, avoiding big details such as large patterns or bows (don’t forget to wear your nude patent platform pumps).

Shoulder Dominant (inverted triangle) Strapless is a no-no, as are shoulder pads. Try a sweetheart neckline and a f uted or A-line bottom for balancing out the top half.

Hourglass Avoid f oaty fabrics and choose tailoring with stiffer fabrics for structure to emphasise shape.

Apple Look for gowns with cross-over bust styles.

Ruching is a great idea for the tummy area.

Large Bust: Opt for a scalloped neckline with your best (and professionally f tted) bra underneath. Avoid a dress that cuts straight across as it will create a shelf appearance.

Small Bust: Strapless with shaping or fabric detail is f attering. And never have a big ‘V’ into, well, nothing.

• Think carefully when choosing your wedding service providers and make sure their personality suits yours and they offer highquality services and products.

• Be sure to eat and drink enough food and non-alcoholic drinks during your preparations.

• Be the f rst in your bridal party to have your hair and make-up done.

• Wear a button-up shirt or robe during preparations to ensure you don’t ruin your hair and make-up when you change.

• Remove all labels and tags from shoes, dresses, jewellery and clutches before the wedding day.

• Make sure your bridesmaids get ready early so they can help you get into your dress and accessories.

• Have a checklist of things you need to take with you on the day.

• Have a small sewing kit with you, including thread to match your dresses and goodquality safety pins.

• Have spare party feet, heel stoppers, chicken f llets and stockings as well as supplies of Hollywood tape and hair spray.

• Take a container of nibbles and drinks for the bridal party to share while you are having your photo session.

STUDENTS LEND A HAND

DONATION SAVES LIVES

More than 70 students and staff from Sunshine Coast Grammar school are expected to turn up for a renovation blitz to help Riding for the Disabled next week.

They will be participating in the Grammar Helping Hands program, a volunteer program where the students help different people and organisations within the community who are in need.

Helping Hands co-ordinator Ben Princeton says they will be working on a property at Verrierdale , which has been bequeathed to Riding for the Disabled Queensland.

He says they will be converting some old buildings into stables as well as doing some landscaping and adding wheelchair access.

“For us, it’s about giving time and energy rather than money,” Princeton says.

“The kids get a sense of being able to serve others. It’s a great

Staff from the Sunshine Coast Hospital and Health Services downed stethoscopes on Sunday to take part in the Cycle of Giving bike ride to mark the start of DonateLife Week.

The Cycle of Giving is an annual on-road cycle from Landsborough to Brisbane, organised by the Prince Charles Hospital Foundation.

Donation specialist nurse Shona McDonald says the event was initially started by Coast woman Mary Long and her husband Mal, who received a heart transplant at the Prince Charles Hospital.

“On the Sunshine Coast, we have a small but dedicated organ and tissue donation team and many staff from our health service were keen to ‘get on their bikes’ to help raise awareness of the importance of organ and tissue donation,” McDonald says.

“I think our kids get a much stronger connection being able to see the recipient rather than just hand over money.

“It’s the instant gratif cation that kids are often changing.”

The Grammar Helping Hands program aims to complete one major project like this each term but also includes a number of smaller events and activities. These include providing more than 1000 meals to organisations around the Coast.

off cer Karen Roach is urging local families to follow the theme of this year’s DonateLife Week and ‘have the chat that saves lives’ with their loved ones.

“Having the chat can make a life-saving difference to people waiting for a transplant,” Roach says.

“It can mean the difference between life or death, seeing or being blind, mobility or never walking again.”

DonateLife Week runs until March 2.

SURFING STAR TALKS ABOUT SUCCESS

S

he is no stranger to achievement but the rise to become the most successful female surfer of all time was not always smooth for Layne Beachley.

The seven-times world surf ng champion knows the meaning of disappointment, failure and hard work and has had to overcome a string of setbacks and challenges to achieve her goals.

“I think challenges and change, they all represent opportunities for growth and improvement but at the time you can become so stuck in it that you don’t see any benef t in it at all,” Beachley says.

Her f rst major challenge and one of the biggest of her career was overcoming chronic fatigue syndrome.

She’s also had a string of injuries, including a fractured coccyx, rotated pelvis, fractured ribs, torn medial ligaments in the knee, torn meniscus and 10 stitches when a

surfboard smashed her in the face.

Two spinal injuries were the most serious.

“An eight-foot wave landed in the small of my lower back and folded me in half, my heels touched my head and that crushed my L3 and L4,” she says.

But the most debilitating was after a wave in Tahiti hit the back of her neck and for f ve years her left arm was numb. When she f nally had an MRI she had a herniated disc severing 80 per cent of her spinal cord.

The news came as she was in contention for her seventh world title, which she won.

You’d think all that would be enough to turn her off surf ng but she’s tenacious. Beachley attributes her success to the support of family, friends and mentors.

In the early days just pulling together enough money to go on the world circuit was a struggle.

She had four jobs, one at a

sabotage each other quite a lot too.”

The icon of women’s surf ng bore the brunt of some vicious and emotionally vindictive attacks from her peers after becoming world champion.

“It was hard. It was really challenging to deal with that. It taught me the really valuable lesson of staying true to yourself and surrounding yourself with people that are supportive and encouraging.”

Beachley will be the keynote speaker at the Sunshine Coast Business Women’s Network breakfast celebrating International Women’s Day on March 11.

Her presentation will focus on inspiring change, which is the theme for 2014 International Women’s Day celebrations across the globe.

Event attendees will have the opportunity to win a meetand-greet with the surf ng legend as well as a surfboard signed by Beachley.

The proceeds of the event’s raff e will be shared with Beachley’s Aim for the Stars Foundation.

The breakfast will take place at the Palmer Coolum Resort on Tuesday March 11 from 6.30am.

Tickets are $70 for members and $80 for non-members.

Call 0412 525 854 or visit www.scbwn.org.au for tickets.

Bookings close on March 4 or when sold out.

Does your kid find mouth guards uncomfortable?

Our mouth guards are made from heavy duty, flexible vinyl or laminates. We can customise your mouth guard with colours, logos and names if you require. You can even protect your teeth further by a dual or triple laminate.

Whichever your choice you can rest assured your teeth are well taken care of. We protect your teeth – you just need to focus on your performance.

We offer a mobile service that can come to your school or club or if you would prefer we have a clinic in Mooloolaba.

Customised mouthguards are very cost effective and you should be able to claim a rebate from your private health fund.

We also offer a clinic and mobile denture service on the Sunshine Coast. For more information check out our website or give Karen a call.

Ord Minnett Buderim – Sunshine Coast

Does your current f nancial adviser help you access the age pension even if you have up to $1M in investments?

App helps catch out fraudsters When a mysterious Taiwanese company took $127 from Juan Mackie’s bank account, alarm bells sounded.

The 24-year-old had never been to Taiwan. “With a bit of investigating, I found out they were fraudulent,” Mackie says.

He cancelled his card and is awaiting a refund from his bank. Yet the credit for the discovery, he says, goes to Australian app Pocketbook.

The spending-management app, which boasts some 50,000 Australian users, is forging a reputation for helping catch out fraudsters. The app pools a user’s various bank accounts, providing a single view of all spending. Regular transactions such as rent and weekly groceries are categorised, meaning irregular transactions immediately stand out.

In October, Pocketbook helped f nger a card-swiping scam when 10 users reported suspect transactions from a deregistered NSW company after paying taxi fares with their credit cards.

“It’s magic,” Mackie says. He

thanked the team behind the app in a Google Plus post.

The team investigated the fraudulent transactions to gauge whether others had been affected.

A few days later Pocketbook had issued an alert on its website urging users to watch out for payments from a Taiwanese payments processing company called Neweb Technologies, typically for 1150 Taiwanese dollars, or about $45, depending on the bank’s fees.

Pocketbook also lets users set daily ‘safe spend’ limits, which raise immediate alarm bells when breached.

Green asparagus is a good source of protein and f bre, and contains anti-inf ammatory compounds which protect from a range of diseases including Type 2 diabetes and heart disease. It can also help prevent colon cancer. Grab a bunch while it’s still in season and don’t cut off all the stalk – that’s where the good nutrients are.

Only the freshest local produce on menu

What’s your favourite go-to meal at home? I don’t have a favourite meal.

I do spontaneous cooking, and design a dish from the f rst thing that catches my eye. It could be wild mushrooms, heirloom tomatoes or fresh seafood, and then I build from there.

Owners: Rita and Osvaldo Melosu

Dinner Tues to Sat from 5.30pm (Takeaway Available) Beachfront Towers, 1st Floor, 4 Aerodrome Rd MAROOCHYDORE P. 5479 4115 www.calaluna.com.au

What’s your favourite local produce and how do you use it? I like a lot of baby vegetables, heirlooms and micro herbs – I like the variety and colour.

What’s the best advice someone has ever given you? My f rst executive chef – he said, “Put out every meal like it was your last.” If it’s going to be the last meal I cooked, it has to be my best!

What’s the strangest meal request you’ve ever had? I had a guy ask for his venison to be plated raw, and a whole tomato not cut. I know – some people, right?!

What task do you love being able to hand over to your apprentice and why? There isn’t a job in the kitchen I would not do myself, so I like to make a game and make all my staff compete against themselves, and try to do the

tasks better and faster. In a fast service every second counts.

Talk us through the process of creating a new dish. After 23 years in kitchens, making a dish is easy – if you have the passion and cook with love, it just comes together.

What do you think Sunshine Coast diners are looking for? I think the Coast diners are looking for the same as everywhere else in Australia and overseas I have worked. Most people want good food with great f avours that balance, and consistency is everything. Then plated with the wow factor, of course.

Dicky Beach Surf Life Saving Club’s Jupiters Summer Surf Girl entrant, Caitlin Knight, is swapping her patrol uniform for racewear this Sunday.

T

he born-again market darling in most portfolios, Telstra, has had a wonderful run over the past three or so years. The price has more than doubled.

The income paid to investors has been very impressive. This has been the main driver of the share price, with many yield-hungry investors bidding up Telstra’s price to current levels. The question is, where to from here?

Most drivers of Telstra Corp’s earnings contributed to a solid f rst-half result and the telco has so far def ed those who questioned the upside to margins and market shares in their key products. We think, however, that its mobile competitors are now responding to their market share losses and conditions will become less favourable for Telstra in the next f nancial year.

On a guidance basis, Telstra’s f rst-half operating earnings rose 6.6 per cent on a year ago.

Adjusting for the Telstra Clear loss incurred last year, it adds up to 4.1 per cent, but that still makes it a solid number relative to its ‘low single-digit growth’ guidance.

Operating metrics were also solid.

A full-year one cent per share rise in the dividend costs Telstra less than the operating earnings beat of about $200 million this half, so it is a reasonable decision in the near term. We would argue, however, against expecting a lot more of the same, even when National Broadband Co (NBN) cash f ows ramp up.

A signif cantly higher dividend would prove diff cult to maintain as f xed-line earnings shrink and mobile market dynamics become less favourable – unless the company buys earnings and/or its own shares.

Ultimately, we think that a buyback will be part of the story – the question is whether it is sooner, with disposal proceeds, or later, with NBN cash f ow.

It may prove harder for Telstra to improve from here, given it is coming off a high base in margins and market shares in its key products. In particular, mobile market conditions are potentially peaking, with SingTel’s Optus signalling a shift in strategy towards customer growth and Vodafone, on the evidence of its Decemberquarter numbers, now being past the worst of its issues.

It’s tradition

Why do brides wear white and grooms stand to the right at the altar? MWP investigates a few wedding traditions that most modern couples adopt for their day.

Groom standing to the right of the bride Traditionally, the bride stands to the left of the altar and the groom to the right. This tradition arose in Anglo-Saxon England, when onlookers were a little less inclined to hold their peace and would often charge the groom during the ceremony. A groom would stand to the right to ensure his right arm – or sword arm – was free to fend off an attacker. However, this isn’t the case in all cultures – in Jewish weddings the groom stands to the left.

bothersome, so brides began throwing their bouquet into the crowd instead. To this day, catching the bouquet is still a sign of romantic luck for single women.

The honeymoon The term ‘honeymoon’ derives from an ancient Northern European tradition where newly married couples would drink a cup of honeyed wine, called mead, each day for a month (or moon cycle) after their wedding. The concept of a post-wedding holiday comes from the 1800s, when couples would go on a ‘bridal tour’ to visit family who had been unable to attend the ceremony.

Throwing rice or confetti Throwing uncooked rice at the married couple as they walk back down the aisle is an ancient pagan tradition. Rice signif es a small seed growing into a large crop, and also symbolises the seed of fertility; in France it is custom to throw wheat, a symbol of abundance and bounty. While many modern couples opt for rose petals or confetti, throwing something is still popular, as long as it isn’t cooked rice à la Kath & Kim.

Throwing the bouquet This tradition is from medieval times, when the bride’s wedding outf t was seen as a symbol of fertility and female guests would chase her at the end of the night and tear off part of her gown or f owers as a good luck charm. After a while this became a bit

Not seeing the bride before the wedding Many people still hold the superstition that it’s bad luck for the groom to see the bride before the wedding (some claim it’s so the groom can’t change his mind and do a runner). However, more and more couples are choosing to disregard this in order to have photos taken before the ceremony – some photographers recommend this so everyone’s hair and make-up is fresh.

The veil There are several tales surrounding the origins of the bridal veil. One theory is that it originated in ancient Rome when people believed covering the bride’s face would protect

her from evil spirits. Others believe it originated in medieval times when arranged marriages were common. The groom could not lift the veil until after the ceremony so he was unable to back out of the marriage. Others believe it was a symbol of submission and a bride’s willingness to obey her husband.

The white dress White wedding dresses are particularly popular in western culture. This trend is believed to have been started by Queen Victoria, who wore a white dress when she married Prince Albert in 1840. It set off a trend throughout Europe and America.

White dresses also demonstrated wealth because of the limits to laundering techniques.

Bomboniere Giving bomboniere is a wedding tradition, believed to have started in Italy in the 14th century. Engaged couples swapped small packages of sweets to signify good fortune and eventually sugar-coated almonds became the sweets of choice.

One line of thought suggests that f ve sugar-coated almonds are given representing health, wealth, happiness, fertility and long life.

Something old…

Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue and a silver sixpence in her shoe. This rhyme has its origins in England in the 1800s but there are a few takes on the meaning. One thought is that the something old and something blue confuse the evil eye, which would generally render a woman barren. As such something borrowed is usually an undergarment from a woman blessed with children. Others suggest something old represents family and the past, something new represents the future, something borrowed is a symbol of happiness and something blue represents f delity, purity and love.

The sixpence is for prosperity and wealth.

TECH STUFF 6.4-litre Hemi V8 with aluminium cylinder heads, electronic throttle control, variable valve timing and multiplecylinder displacement system produces 347kW at 6100rpm; 631Nm at 4150rpm; five-speed automatic transmission with sports mode and wheel-mounted paddle shifters.

‘LOW FAT’ CHRYSLER FOR AUSTRALIA WORDS Peter Atkinson, AAP

W

ould you like fries with that? Will that be in a meal deal? Fancy a cookie and drink with your sandwich?

It seems that everywhere we look, we’re being ‘upsold’. Someone’s constantly trying to persuade us to buy more, pay more, consume more.

America can take most of the credit (or blame).

But not Chrysler. Unlike its compatriots, the big American car maker has taken the minimalist approach to the latest version of its most well-known model with a ‘low-fat’ version built specially for Australia.

Keen to tap into the Aussie love of

big, muscular performance sedans, the American brand has stripped its impressive 300C SRT8 hot rod back to the core. Literally.

The Chrysler 300 SRT8 Core is pitched as a ‘back to basics’ model for Aussie performance lovers. If this is ‘basics’, give me more of it.

Although they’ve taken away some of the luxury items from the original SRT8, they’ve left behind all of the performance and desirability at a much-reduced price.

The heart of this machine, the Core, if you like, is a thundering, high-performance 6.4-litre V8 engine that underpins the Chrysler’s appeal The engine delivers some formidable numbers – 347 kilowatts

of power and a gargantuan 631 Newton metres of torque; 0-100km/h in about 4.8 seconds and an electronically limited top speed of 250km per hour.

But the most formidable number is this one: $56,000. That’s the price, by the way, not the fuel bill.

The SRT8 Core is a full $10 grand cheaper than the fully equipped SRT8, and close to $20-grand cheaper than you would have paid a decade or so ago when the very first SRT8 caused such a stir when it arrived in Australia.

Not many cars have become $20,000 cheaper over the course of the past decade, that’s for sure.

Those numbers combine to make continued over>

FEATURES Seven airbags; electronic stability control with brake assist and all-speed traction control; ready-alert braking with rain support; adaptive lighting, rain-sensing wipers; 8.8-inch touchscreen cabin management system; Bluetooth and iPod inputs; electric seats, windows and mirrors.

THIRST 13L/100km (combined figure).

VERDICT Plenty of meat; hold the fries.

BOTTOM LINE $56,000 plus onroad costs.

Make your escape Whether it’s a country getaway in the XC60, a quick break from the city in the V40 Cross Country or a week at the beach with the kids in the 7-seat XC90. No matter where you choose to escape to, we can take you there.

the SRT8 Core perhaps the best value performance machine on the market.

Certainly nothing comes vaguely close to delivering the same bang for your buck even though Ford has started running out the f nal versions of its turbo-charged Falcon FPV F6 at a comparable cost.

The Chrysler is more than just a muscle machine.

While some desirable features of the full-blown 300 SRT8 have been stripped away (the leather trim, the premium audio and the adjustable suspension system, for instance), there’s still an overwhelming sense of ref nement about this car.

Driven sedately, it’s quiet, comfortable and spacious. Yes, even practical, if not exactly economical.

The SRT does get Chrysler’s cylinder deactivation system, which shuts down four of the engine’s cylinders when it’s not operating under heavy load, to save fuel. A little ‘eco’ sign illuminates on the instrument panel whenever the cylinder deactivation system kicks in.

Of course, get too enthusiastic with the right foot and you’ll literally

be able to watch the fuel gauge heading towards empty.

That won’t come as much of a surprise. Expecting a car with 6.4 litres of Detroit V8 to go light on the juice is a bit like expecting George Clooney to lay off the coffee.

We handed the big Chrysler back with 500km on the trip meter, the fuel gauge nudging empty and the onboard computer showing an average consumption rate of 12.1L/100km.

That’s pretty impressive for a car of this size and particularly one with such performance capability.

It f ts f ve adults in comfort, and boasts masses of cargo space in that big, handsome rear end.

As well as its thundering capacity to accelerate, the SRT8 can wipe off speed just as convincingly, thanks to its massive Brembo high-performance brakes – the same as those featured on the ‘full cream’ version.

The 300C is an intimidating looking machine, complemented by dark chrome 20-inch alloy wheels standard on the Core model.

So what do Core buyers have to

do without? Not much, to be honest.

The seats are cloth, instead of leather, but they’re still comfortable and supportive. They’re not heated, either, but that’s hardly a dealbreaker in Australia.

The Core gets sports suspension, but not the electronically adjustable version of the top-line SRT. Likewise it misses the radar-guided Adaptive Cruise Control and the collision avoidance system that comes with it.

But you still get the excellent touch-screen cabin management system (UConnect) which allows you to do everything from dial in your destination on the sat nav to dial up your friends on the Bluetooth phone system.

There’s also an SRT function which allows you to measure various vehicle dynamics and acceleration stats.

Like the SRT8, the transmission is a robust f ve-speeder, rather than the eight-speed unit f tted to more sedate V6 models. Apparently that excellent self-shifter has not yet been calibrated for the V8’s tarmac-tearing power.

The auto is still adequate and the

wheel-mounted paddle shifters allow the driver to select ratios at will.

The bottom line is a car that boasts massive doses of what performance fans want, with virtually none of the things they don’t.

A bit like being on a diet, I guess, but a diet where you still get to eat f llet steak every night of the week.

You want fries with that?

CAR MAKER OF THE YEAR

V

olvo Car Australia took out the number one spot in the Roy Morgan Research Customer Satisfaction Award for Car Manufacturer of the Year this month.

After coming second in 2012, Volvo recorded f ve consecutive winning months in 2013, building

an unassailable lead and beating off stiff competition from Mercedes, Lexus and Subaru to win the title.

Volvo’s satisfaction score of 95 per cent was higher than any other company represented in the 30 categories, including the banking and telecommunications industries.

“This award is testament to our

strong brand, excellent product and dedicated dealer network creating a positive ownership experience,” says Matt Braid, Volvo Car Australia managing director.

“We have a number of internal KPIs we set around customer satisfaction, so to see one of the measures we take seriously be independently recognised is tremendously satisfying. All credit to the Volvo dealer network.”

Each year Roy Morgan Research surveys about 52,000 Australians and asks them about their satisfaction with various products and services they own or use.

Roy Morgan interviews more than 40,000 drivers face-to-face annually.

The results for Volvo were revealing, with overall satisfaction levels consistently around the 95 per cent level during 2013.

Of those Volvo owners surveyed, 69 per cent drove a passenger vehicle, while 31 per cent drove an SUV, with the gap closing between the two categories due to SUV growth.

M O T O R I N G

]

Among those who bought new, satisfaction levels were at the high 90 per cent levels, while those who bought used cars demonstrated satisfaction levels in the low 90s.

Michele Levine, CEO of Roy Morgan Research, presented 39 awards to businesses that topped their respective f elds with outstanding levels of customer satisfaction, as judged by more than 50,000 consumers and 22,000 business decision-makers throughout 2013.

“By aggregating 12 months’ worth of responses to our Consumer Single Source and Business Single Source surveys, Roy Morgan is able to identify and celebrate those businesses – large and small – that have outperformed their competitors in customer satisfaction,” Levine says.

“Congratulations to this year’s winners, whose continued commitment to satisfying their customers is setting industry standards and being recognised not only by consumers but by businesses around Australia.”

TWITTER HURTS MOTORISTS

S

ocial media is impacting on the habits of motorists in Italy, who are used to thwarting road rules.

Rome is notorious for its maddening traff c and the inventive tactics motorists adopt to get around parking laws. But life is getting harder for rule breakers in the Italian capital, thanks to Twitter.

In December, City Police commander Raffaele Clemente asked citizens to use the microblogging website to f ag illegally parked cars and other violations.

The initiative has been a success,

the Rome edition of the La Republica newspaper wrote, with Clemente having received nearly 3700 tweets resulting in almost 1000 on-the-spot checks and 590 traff c f nes.

Clemente checks in to Twitter, recently noting 71 cars were f ned and 16 were towed away in one neighbourhood.

The commander also uses Twitter to debate traff c and public decorum issues with his 4600 followers.

His initiative has divided opinion.

Roma Fa Schifo (Rome is disgusting), an online protest group that has long campaigned for authorities to adopt a tougher law enforcement approach, has applauded the commander.

Opposition politicians and the police trade union are up in arms, arguing that citizens are unfairly being asked to do the job of public off cials and claiming that denouncing traff c violations through social media breaches privacy laws.

Sensors warns of mis-fuelling Accidentally filling your car with the wrong fuel could be a thing of the past thanks to a German invention.

A new sensor developed by scientists at Coburg University in Germany warns drivers against the expensive mistake of f lling up the tank with the wrong fuel.

The device sits inside the neck of the fuel tank and uses a laser to detect whether diesel or petrol is being f lled. A sensor warns the driver against mis-fuelling, which can cost thousands of dollars to rectify.

Motoring organisations warn that an increasing number of motorists are f lling up their cars with the wrong fuel by mistake.

Repairing the damage usually involves f ushing out the wrong fuel in a workshop but some manufacturers insist on new fuel pump and fuel lines if the car owner wants to keep the car’s warranty.

The Coburg sensor doubles up as a fuel-saver as it relays combustion data to the engine

control unit, helping to optimise fuel f ow.

According to the Bavarian-based patent alliance behind the project, the search is now on to f nd a car manufacturer willing to develop the device for production use.

17

ARIES [Mar 21-Apr 20] An impasse on the home front gets a nudge mid-week.

Jupiter has switched gears and you accelerate towards a long-awaited goal.

Having someone to yourself for the first time in weeks is icing on the romantic or relationship cake.

TAURUS [Apr 21-May 21] Soul-searching comes easily.

You reflect on mistakes of the past and ponder what can be done differently. Sentimental solar forces work in your favour and give you a newfound sense of self. You get credit for compassion shown towards others.

GEMINI [May 22-Jun 21] Mainstream issues are your bread and butter. Hip stars in the learning sector keep you abreast of pop culture and the latest high-tech devices.

You communicate through the ether rather than face-to-face and glean information the same way.

CANCER [Jun 22-Jul 23] You excel at platonic relationships but shy away from intimacy. Friends are less emotionally demanding, while loved ones grow needier by the day. Venus chills the air and the closer you come to people, the faster resentment grows.

LEO [Jul 24-Aug 23] Your world pulsates with pent-up energy. Mars suggests you release it through physical activity, while Mercury prefers a talk-fest. Either way, a respite comes later in the week.

Leos are in the final phase on a journey of self-discovery.

VIRGO [Aug 24-Sep 23] You are firm but fair. While others change their tune you stick to the same song book and steer situations in the right direction. What began as a partnership is likely end with you in total control. Your challenge this week is to find happiness in simple pleasures.

LIBRA [Sep 24-Oct 23] Keeping the faith is your biggest test of character.

Persistence pays off eventually but in the meantime, self-belief sustains you.

Stubborn stars see you taking one step forward and two back.

Repay acts of kindness to balance the karmic scales.

SCORPIO [Oct 24-Nov 22] The art of compromise comes with practice. You are put to the test having to meet people half way and sacrifice some of your own needs. Doing deals with devil is a step too far but making allowances for an adversary is doable. Your popularity is high in social circles.

SAGITTARIUS [Nov 23-Dec 21] You are ambivalent about resolving a personal problem.

First you want to fulfil a long-held dream, and then allow destiny to take its course.

Friends and family continue to enable you, but their patience is probably wearing thin. Choices are often made on your behalf.

CAPRICORN [Dec 22-Jan 20] All-inclusive stars demand equal treatment for everyone. Hence, you stop judging people on status and adjudicate instead on character. Capricorn has an in-built sense of right and wrong, but aloofness often masks your goodness. Take time to listen, learn and love.

AQUARIUS [Jan 21-Feb 19] You continue to ride a wave of change. Venus, the planet of friendship, helps you form new alliances with supportive people. Self-imposed seclusion gives way to a satisfying social life and amusing entertainment.

Sentiment worms its way into your heart.

PISCES [Feb 20-Mar 20] You gladly trade refuge for freedom. Sun in your sign catapults you out of a rut and into more exciting territory. You achieve independence in the context of close relationships through open communication.

To keep loved ones in the loop, express heartfelt needs.

SURF REPORT with MWP’s man in the water

Well MWP’s man in the water is still in the snow, and clearly the powder has overwhelmed him as he has failed to f le his report for this week. Is it a great loss, though? I mean, we kind of know what he is going to say – the snow in Canada is amazing, the surf on the Coast is, well, not so much! With showers forecast to continue over the weekend and temperatures still a bit cooler than they were a week or so ago, the beaches might be a bit quieter, though swell will be limited to about two or three feet on the open beaches and smaller on the points. A good time to plan your own snowboarding trip.

FISHING REPORT with Wayne Nilsson from Maroochydore Fishing World

ESTUARY: Quality whiting are taking yabbies and beach worms along the Twin Waters side of the Maroochy, with the high tide best. Bream and f athead are taking whitebait at the southern end of Goat Island. Find trevally and chopper tailor at the Motorway Bridge on lures.

Mangrove jack are starting to move up river where the salt meets fresh.

SURF: Catch dart and sand whiting on pippies at the Maroochy and Mooloolaba bars. Tailor and f athead are along Maroochy north shore and between the sand bag walls on the southern side beach at Maroochy. Whitebait and WA pillies are producing the best sizes.

OFFSHORE: Water temps are around 25 degrees. Mac tuna have been chasing bait off Mooloolaba with yellow-f n tuna and sharks joining in on the feast. Find cobia and bigger tuna at the Eight Mile Patch. Spanner crabs are east of Coolum along with lots of mackerel caught in same area.

FRESHWATER: Somerset Dam is working well for bass, golden perch, jew and red claw. Lake Macdonald and Borumba have both been returning saratoga, bass and Mary River cod on f ies and lures.
