• By Jess Gibson
A REDCLIFFS couple has
returned from their trip to
Hawaii with extra luggage.
Annie Crombie, 51, and
husband Terry Beentjes, 53,
each bagged two trophies
after placing in the US Slalom
Windsurfing Nationals in Maui
late last month.
Crombie won sport section
and finished third in the
women’s competition, while
Beentjes finished second in
both the semi-pro and men’s
40-59 racing events.
“We’re stoked,” Crombie
said. “We didn’t have any
expectations to be on the
podium.”
Both took part in 24 races
over the three-day event and
had only trained for one
week in the lead-up to the
competition.

ONE OF the owners of Sumner’s
Cave Rock Apartments says he
will appeal a High Court decision
if an order is made for the land to
be sold.
Peter Foster is one of four
owners who have refused to sell
the abandoned complex at 11
Marriner St for a split settlement
from IAG and the Earthquake
Commission, which was made
last year.
Forty-six out of 50 owners
agreed to the sale after fighting
a long battle with IAG and EQC
for an amount which remains
confidential.
About 70 per cent of the offer
has been paid to owners while the
rest remains invested in a trust
account because the remaining
four have refused to sell.
The High Court is expected
to make an order as to whether
they must adhere to the sale of
the complex or not at a hearing
which is expected to begin on
October 21.

A GREAT effort from husband and wife
windsurfers Annie Crombie and Terry
Beentjes in Hawaii on page 1 today.
Annie won the sport section and was
third in the women’s competition at the US
slalom nationals in Maui.
Terry was second in both the semi-pro event and the men’s
40-59 age group racing. He was lucky he got to compete. He
broke his thumb the day after their flights to Hawaii were
booked.
The couple also hadn’t been doing much windsurtfing for
several months, making their performances even more sweeter.
“We’re stoked. We didn’t have any expectations to be on the
podium,” Annie said.
Also on page 1 today, we have more developments in the long
running saga over the Sumner apartments.

‘Banks-centric’ film in the works
• By Jess Gibson
A SHORT film showcasing Port
Levy is set to be made.
Peninsula will be a fictional
drama about three isolated
people who manage to connect
in a very surprising way.
Award-winning editorturned-producer
Scott Flyger
and screenwriter/director Fiona
McKenzie have teamed up to
produce the film, which has been
inspired by real-life events.
Flyger, who lives in Governors
Bay, said the project will be
“Banks-centric.”
“We wanted it to be based in
a small township in the Banks
Peninsula, as it has very beautiful
aspects and scenery. It’s moody
and can have lots of sunshine or
dark clouds. It’s quite a dramatic
landscape.”
He said the film will
incorporate a cast, music talent,
crew members and props from
around the peninsula.
Flyger was editor of the
BAFTA award-winning comedy
series, That Mitchell and Webb
Look, and his other works have
won awards around the globe.
After writing for children’s
staples Play School and What
Now, McKenzie was a journalist
on CTV, before training as a
director at South Pacific Pictures.
Lyttelton resident and theatre
actor Tom Trevella has been cast
as Mark, a sound engineer who
moves to Banks Peninsula to
try and find his place within the
world.
Mr Trevella said he is excited
to see the film put a spotlight on
the area and its creative people as
“so much of the industry is based
in the North Island.”
Trevella will star in the film
alongside Jasper Sutcliffe, who
is set to play Toby, and Amber
Ranson.
Ranson, who has Down’s
syndrome, has a goal to star in a
film before the end of the year.
The team are on track to
fundraise the $15,000 production
budget, which will cover props
and costumes, location and
accommodation fees, equipment,
publicity, money for the cast and
crew, and catering contributions.
Screen CanterburyNZ is
supportive of the project and is
helping with marketing, as the
organisation wants to grow the
area as a filming destination.

Flyger said the crew hopes
to start shooting in September
so the film is wrapped up by
December. People who donate
to the film will be offered an
on-screen credit and will be
kept up to date throughout preproduction
and production.

Double
cause for
celebration
•From page 1
“We came out of winter
and haven’t windsurfed since
February so it was a hard seven
days. I got blisters all over my
hands and feet,” Crombie
said.
She said they stayed fit before
heading over by mountain
biking and doing yoga.
Beentjes almost opted out of
competing after he broke his
thumb the day after the flights
were booked.
“He was only three weeks
out of his plaster when he
competed. Once we got up
there the vibe of the event got a
hold of him,” Crombie said.
The couple had more than
just trophies to celebrate
during the prize-giving as it
was on the same day as their
31st wedding anniversary.
Crombie and Beentjes
have both been windsurfing
since the early 1990s and
have competed in many
competitions in New Zealand
and overseas.
Crombie said their two
teenage daughters, Kate and
Emma, have been all “around
the world to windy places.”
Four apartment owners prevent sale
•From page 1
The complex, which includes
49 apartments and the Cave
Rock Tavern, suffered damage
in the February and June, 2011,
earthquakes.
Mr Foster, who owns the
tavern, is unhappy with how the
money has been split as the area
he owns covers more land than
the other units.
About 30 of the units were
demolished in 2012, while the
rest remain damaged.
Mr Foster said members of the
body corporate committee who
no longer have a standing unit
should not have been able to vote
on the sale of the land.
He said if he has to appeal
he will request an appointed
administrator to deal with the
matter, which he believes has
been handled poorly.
“We’ve had the tavern valued
by a professional valuer and
what he is going to get under the
reassessed ownership interest is
more than the tavern is worth
anyway.”
“What he wants is a
substantially bigger sum out of
the total sum for the tavern than
it’s actually worth,” he said.
Thirteen of the 50 owners
which formed a body corporate
after the quakes have since
died and some of their family
members have taken over the

battle.
Mr White said he hopes the
process will be over soon for the
46 owners “who just want to get
on with their lives.”
“The rest of us will be
absolutely delighted if the
four individuals would at
least agree to the sale,” Mr
White said.
Meanwhile, Mr White said
the complex remains a target for
vandalism including graffiti and
deliberate flooding.
“It’s not good for the
neighbours or the community in
Sumner to see the place getting
bashed around. It’s dreadful.”

Policing concerns for Lyttelton

Planting day
to improve
waterways
THE BANKS Peninsula Water
Zone Committee wants to
protect mahinga kai for future
generations.
It will hold a community
planting day on August 25, centred
around the Okuti River and
improving its health.
It is a priority action of the
water zone committee to use
mahinga kai as an indicator of
the health of waterways around
Banks Peninsula.
Mahinga kai is about more
than just survival for Ngāi Tahu,
it is about maintaining the
things that sustain and nourish
people and that bring well-being
like clean water, air, soil and sufficient
shelter.
Access to, and being able to
gather, clean and healthy kai as
Ngāi Tahu ancestors did, and
doing this in a sustainable way is
also important.
Another planting day was
held for Te Wharau – one of
four priority streams in
Whaka-Ora – at Orton Bradley
Park on August 4.
For more information on the
planting days, including what to
bring, head to the Canterbury

Richard Emerson: The Hopfather
by Michael donaldson
The life and times of the man who built the modern beer scene in
New Zealand, an iconic brewer and businessman – Richard Emerson
of Emerson’s Brewery. Richard Emerson is one of our pre-eminent
brewers, a trailblazer who is often lauded as the godfather of craft beer
in New Zealand.
Born profoundly deaf in 1960s Dunedin, Emerson triumphed against
all odds to launch Emerson’s Brewery in 1992. He went on to create
a string of unique, award-winning beers, spark a cult-following,
attract global recognition, and become a millionaire – all from doing
something he loved. For Richard, it came after 20 years of unrelenting
commitment to the cause of good beer. They were two decades of
hard graft, physically and emotionally, of little or no pay, and of long
hours, during which he watched his father, mentor and friend die just
as the business began to stand on its own two feet. This is the story
of an adventurous boy who wouldn’t let anything get in the way of
what he wanted to do; a boy who fought for his place in the world and
refused to let anyone tell him ‘no’.
Johnathan Thurston: The
Autobiography
by Johnathan Thurston, with James Phelps
The bestselling autobiography of a league legend.
Johnathan Thurston is widely regarded as rugby league’s
greatest player. This autobiography will follow Thurston’s
journey from a Brisbane kid who was written off as too skinny,
too slow and too wild to play professionally, to his debut with
the Canterbury Bulldogs in 2003, to State of Origin star, to
Dally M and Clive Churchill Medal winner, and the fairytale
premierships.
Brothers in Black
The Long History of Brotherhood in New
Zealand rugby
by Jamie Wall
The All Blacks have had a brilliant run of brothers in the last
decade, with the Barretts, Whitelocks, Saveas and Franks,
but there have also been many more standouts throughout
New Zealand rugby history like the Meads, Whettons, Gears,
Bachops and Brownlies.
Jamie Wall writes insightfully, revealing fascinating stories and
providing analysis of some of the massive changes that have
occurred in New Zealand rugby over the years, while sharing
great yarns about the high-profile tests that live on in every
rugby fan’s memory.
R.A. Lawson - Victorian Architect &
designer of Dunedin
by Norman Ledgerwood
Following the discovery of gold in Otago, Dunedin quickly grew
to become the largest and richest city in New Zealand. Among
the architects who influenced the young city was the Scottish
architect, Robert Arthur Lawson.
Lawson became more than a leading architect of the day, he
was deeply involved in the management and affairs of his
beloved Presbyterian Church. Over a short period Lawson
played a major role in the growth of Dunedin — taking it
from a small township to a city of remarkable and enduring
Victorian architecture.
Lawson’s most significant works — First Presbyterian Church
of Otago, Knox Presbyterian Church, Larnach Castle, Otago
Boys’ High School, Dunedin Municipal Building — take
their place amongst the country’s most important historical
buildings and grace Dunedin to this day.

ROCKERS: Natalie Hutton (left), of Fendalton, and Minnie Robberds, of Sumner,
will head to the Smokefreerockquest finals this week.
Robberds makes rockquest finals
• By Jess Gibson
SUCCESS ON the Kiwi
music scene is on the
horizon for Sumner
resident Minnie Robberds.
The 18-year-old has been
selected to compete in
the Smokefreerockquest
national final in Auckland
on September 18.
She will perform alongside
Natalie Hutton, 18, in
the solo-duo act There’s a
Tuesday Between a Monday
and a Wednesday.
They will be up against
two other line-ups in the
solo/duo category.
Minnie is a student at
Christchurch Girls’ High
School and her love for
music came from listening
to her parent’s music growing
up.
“Artists like Patti Smith
and Neil Young,” she said.
Natalie, of Fendalton, is
the St Margaret’s College
co-head of arts and has
been singing and songwriting
since she was in
primary school.
They said they always
hoped they would get to
the rockquest final, but
they doubted their ability.
Just 10 high-school acts
across the country made it
through to the finals out of
more than 800 bands which
competed in this year’s
regional heats and finals.
At stake are prize
packages that include
$22,000 in Rockshop
vouchers, a $16,000 NZ
On Air recording, video
and promo package, and a
photo shoot and branding
package.

‘Unsung hero’ gets award
• By Jess Gibson
THE HUNT will soon be on to
find Lyttelton’s next top dog.
Popular children’s television
show What Now is looking to
feature pet dogs while it films
in the port town on September
8 at Te Ana Marina.

“UNSUNG HERO” Ian
McLennan has been
recognised for 12 years of
dedication to restoring Quail
Island.
The Redcliffs
environmentalist is the
Otamahua (Quail Island)
Ecological Restoration Trust
chairman and has taken part
in countless working bees on
the island.
Mr McLellan (left) received
a Keep Christchurch Beautiful
community award for his
efforts at a ceremony last week.
Planting, clearing weeds and
pest control are among the
tasks he takes part in when he
heads over with volunteers at
least twice a month.
The nomination, which was
Presenters will team up with
the children’s show Fanimals
for a dual broadcast and will
run prospective pet dogs
through their paces on site.
Parents can sign their
children and dogs up to go
along and be part of the
audience while the show is
submitted by a volunteer, said
Mr McLellan “works tirelessly
to restore this neglected and
abused island to its native
glory.”
He first got involved with
the trust when his brother was
chairman.
Said Mr McLellan: “The
main thing for me is the
almost complete loss of native
biodiversity over the last
couple of hundred years. It’s
a small effort to recreate what
was once there.”
During his time on the trust,
Mr McLellan said he has seen
all pests eradicated except for
mice.
“Making the island
predator-free has been a major
achievement for the trust.”
The trust is running its
annual planting programme
filmed and can register them to
participate in games.
On the day, Lyttelton
Primary School principal
Brendan Wright will also
get covered in gunge in the
segment ‘target ya teacher’.
Presenters were pre-filming
in Lyttelton on Thursday to
this month, which will see
3000 native trees planted over
four weekends. It will bring
the total number of trees
planted to more than 98,000.
At the ceremony 10 groups,
eight individuals and three life
members received awards.
Among the life membership
recipients was Governors Bay
resident John Thacker. He
has been involved with Keep
Christchurch Beautiful since
before its electronic records
began. He used to carry out
the litter count contract for the
city council, in tandem with
John Macaulay.
Mr Thacker is an active
member and will often put up

signs where he thinks people
need to be more conscious of
litter.

The winter months in real estate

We’ve had a bumper few months
and in July alone we met over 270
buyers who came through our open

We are so busy in fact, that we are
delighted to have added a new

been working in our city office for
the last few years. She has joined
Team Ward and her youth, energy

much leads the way, but with
Shaun Davey, Prue Dacombe, Claire
Savage and now Holli on board we
offer an incredibly diverse range of
skills, experience and personalities
– after all, we recognise that real
estate is all about relationships.
We have had some amazing
marketing campaigns in the
Ferrymead Bays area of late. The
incredible number of active buyers
coming through our open homes is
proof that our targeted marketing,
our wide range of contacts and our
comprehensive skills & experience
create outstandingly successful sale
results for our clients. If you have

IT IS 3AM, it is dark, there is
light rain and the wind is picking
up. It’s cold. The silence of the
sleeping community is broken
suddenly by the sounds two old
air raid sirens, one at each end of
the village.
In the houses of 20 local men
and women, emergency pagers
and text alerts also sound. These
men and women receive very
basic details of the reason they

They quickly dress and either
run, cycle or drive to the local
fire station to join their team.

AS I SAID in my last column,
we’ve travelled to Italy so Vittoria
can meet the family. And what a
journey it’s been.
Before we even left, Vittoria
caused her parents a heap of stress
with her first ambulance trip to
the emergency department, starting
on a course of antibiotics for
pneumonia, setting us back a day
on doctor’s orders.
It sounds bad, and it wasn’t ideal,
but it was all okay apart from
unsettling our sleep patterns.
So we were lucky, our pre-dawn
flight on Saturday went swimmingly.
Vittoria was happy to nap,
draw or watch cartoons all the
way to Brisbane where we stayed a
night with my sister-in-law Sarah.
The only niggle was that she
leaked on me because her nappy
was askew but, like for most parents
I think, that’s a non-event.
It looked like either the antibiotics
or time were working a treat
flurry of emotions from initial
annoyance to having been
woken, then quickly followed by
concerned thoughts about who
is in trouble and what has happened.
Is it a fire, has someone
had a heart attack, have trees
blown over onto power lines
causing fire and power outage,
has the community received an
upgraded warning of tsunami,
or has some tired driver driven
off the road and crashed?
Diamond Harbour has a magnificent
bunch of volunteer firefighters
who are highly trained,
multi-skilled and committed to
providing the very best support
in all sorts of emergencies to this
community – their people.
Their families sit at home and
worry about their firefighting
partner, or family members and
on Vittoria, so we were quietly
confident going into the 14-hour
leg to Dubai on Sunday night.
And again, it went pretty good.
Fourteen uneventful hours.
Arriving in Dubai we were all
tired, dishevelled, probably smelly
and definitely over trying to sleep
in an aircraft seat with a fidgety
toddler. Between us and relaxation,
were only four hours in an
airport and a six-hour flight. Easy
right? Spoiler alert – no.
Our luck ran out 20 minutes before
boarding started for our flight
to Venice when Vittoria vomited
all over the floor in the middle
of a packed terminal. And a little

on my shirt and shoes. Honestly,
what’s the protocol for that?
I just floundered in surprise for
a bit until Laura went into nurse
mode and sent me off to clean
Vittoria up while she “dealt with
it” in the splash zone.
Once we were as “fresh” as
possible and a suddenly exhausted
toddler crying in my arms, we
made our way to the gate where
we were told we could get Vittoria
checked up for free at the airport
clinic and wouldn’t miss our
flight.
However, once the “ambulance”
arrives (literally a push trolley)
we were told that a full check at
volunteer fire brigades in New
Zealand and around 49 are
trained and equipped for “medical
first response”, which in our
brigade accounts for about 60
per cent of our “calls for service.”
Even delivering babies is in our
repertoire.
They say variety is the spice
of life, so it is in the brigade,
we have been to fires caused by
swans flying into high voltage
cables at night, burning possums
falling into and setting alight to
hedges, cats up trees, sheep in
the clinic might make us miss our
flight – great.
With all the vitals coming back
healthy, and Vittoria totally out to
it asleep, I was offered a difficult
choice; do further checks and
miss the flight or sign a waiver
saying “refused treatment” and
that if it gets worse it’s all on you.
Although I was confident to
sign away and just get to the flight
so we could be done with it, I felt
terrible anyway. So for three long
and stressful hours of the last flight
we thought of all the worst things
it could be – dehydration, gastro,
some sort of never-wake-up
disease.
And what does Vittoria do when
she finally wakes up? Sits up, laughs
and becomes the flight staff’s
darling by running laps around the
plane with a huge grin on her face
for the duration of the flight.
Anyway, we’re in Italy now and
ready for family time.

All these jobs use all the skills

Many readers will be aware
our brigade has identified a
significant gap in our response
around our need to purchase a
four-wheel-drive response vehicle
to get us quickly and safely to
emergencies in difficult to reach
locations.
Our rural areas cause us
concern as our existing response
vehicles, the fire medical vehicle
and fire appliance are not able to
go “off-road.”
We have, with the help of major
supporters, including James
and Laura at On the Spot, so far
raised nearly $45,000 towards a
new vehicle.
We have a quite bit more to
raise so any help would be appreciated,
(fundraising account

We can then purchase a
purpose-built vehicle we and
our community can be proud
of.

Tutors’ commitment brings
results for students
A genuine commitment to helping
students achieve in education and concern
for what happens to them are what brings
the results for children tutored at Kip
McGrath Ferrymead, says franchise owner
Helen Hudson.
“As they progress through the sessions we
see them blossom and grow in confidence
with their learning and that’s so rewarding,”
Helen says.
The other key factors that set Kip McGrath
apart and contribute to students’ success are
that all tutors have to be qualified teachers,
and that students have the same tutor every
time they attend, Helen says.
“This allows the tutors to build a rapport
with their students. They work on an
individualised programme within a small
group of three to five students.”
Communication with parents is another
important aspect, Helen
points out.
“We have to be meeting
the needs of the children
as the parents see it, as well
as what we see is needed.”
Kip McGrath Ferrymead
has six tutors offering
students from Year 1-13
tutoring in maths and
English – covering a broad
spectrum of spelling,
writing and reading, with
the tutors fully conversant
with NCEA requirements.
Chemistry, Physics
and Biology along with
English and Maths tutoring is
available for Year 11, 12 and
13 students.
“With the senior students
we work alongside them, but
they are really the leader of
the lesson, which is tailormade
to their needs,” Helen
says.
There is also a focus on
children with learning
difficulties, such as dyslexia,
and for accelerant students,
who need extra challenges.
Each tutoring session lasts
one hour 20 minutes, with
about six different activities
included each time. Sessions are run
outside school hours, either before or after
school, with most students attending once
a week.
“We also offer one-on-one tutoring for
adult students, who may need to improve
their English or maths skills for work they
want to apply for.”
There are several funding subsidies
available for Kip McGrath tutoring.
Kip McGrath Ferrymead franchise owner Helen
Hudson helping a student
Registered Ngai Tahu members receive
some funding, as do registered members
of the Rotorua-based Tauhara No. 2 Trust.
Fletchers also provide funding subsidies for
family members of their employees.
Free assessments are offered, and students
can enroll at any time of the year.

Vote keeps clubs in reserve grade
• By Gordon Findlater
LYTTELTON, Otautahi and
Suburbs will continue to
compete in the metro rugby
premier reserve grade after a
decision was overturned at a
meeting last week.
A Canterbury Rugby Football
Union decision made three years
ago meant teams wanting to
compete in the premier reserve
grade would have needed a team
in the premier competition from
next season.
However, this requirement
was overturned last week at a
meeting between all 16 metro
sub-union clubs. The three clubs
which don’t have a team in the
premier competition will now
still be able to compete in the
reserve grade.
All of the metro sub-union
clubs voted in favour of no
changes being made to the teams
currently competing in the
premier reserve grade.
“The clubs were given some
material by the metro committee
to talk to their boards about and
come back with their boards’
feelings based on the material
we’d given them, which they
did,” said metro sub-union
committee chairman Brent
Goldsmid.
“It was basically unanimous
that given the player number
difficulties the sport faces,
to restrict teams from the
competition would make no
Bid to promote
squash in Sumner
THE SUMNER Tennis and
Squash Club wants to prevent
squash from fading as a sport.
The club will host the
Canterbury masters and
under-23 squash tournaments on
Saturday and Sunday as part of
an effort to promote the game in
the region.
Said president Phil Loughnan:
“Hopefully this will be the
first of many, with the club
reintroducing a Sumner open
next year.”
“Squash nationally is a fading
game, but it’s a great game the
club is committed to growing,”
Mr Loughnan said.
STILL ALIVE: Lyttelton will continue to compete in the metro premier reserve competition after
a decision to exclude them, Suburbs and Otautahi was overturned last week.
He said it will be an
opportunity to showcase the
club’s rejuvenated facilities,
which are “arguably the best in
Christchurch.”
The club on Heberden Ave
has spent more than $1 million
renovating the squash and tennis
courts and associated facilities,
which were reopened late last
year.
“The courts have new floors
and lighting and have been
heavily insulated to give excellent
playing conditions,” he said.

sense. The environment over the
last three years has changed . . .
three years ago, it was probably
the right decision, now it’s not
and we’re happy to change that.”
Lyttelton club president
SPORT
Clinton Norris said he was
confident going into the meeting
about the future of the three
clubs, but was surprised by the
amount of support for the clubs
to continue competing in the
reserve competition.
“To listen to what the clubs
had to say was overwhelming. It
means we can all work together
and make something better for
our local rugby,” said Norris.
The decision, which would
have ruled Lyttelton, Otautahi
and Suburbs out of the premier
reserve grade, came to light
recently, with vocal support for
it to be overturned on social
media.
“We got up two months ago
and just spilt the beans about
what effect it would have on our
clubs and how hard it would
be. No one had thought about a
pathway and then we asked for a
full review,” said Norris.
Lyttelton currently have two
senior teams and eight junior
teams. Suburbs have two senior,
a colts, a women’s and seven
junior teams. Otautahi have two
senior and four junior teams.
Experienced new coach appointed
THE REDCLIFFS Tennis Club
has appointed an internationally
experienced new head coach.
Originally from Canterbury,
Alan Adair has been coaching
at a high level in Germany
for many years, but recently
returned to Christchurch with
his family.
He replaces Jack Tiller, who
has taken up a role in Ashburton
as head coach of the Mid-
Canterbury region. Adair brings
a great deal of expertise to the
club and can coach at all levels
– from absolute beginners to
professionals.
His goal is to teach tactically
intelligent tennis, which
suits each player’s individual
strengths and weaknesses.
The former junior New
Zealand age group champion
has previously been the
Southland regional coach and
also coaches at the Kaiapoi and
Amberley clubs.
TACTICAL:
Alan
Adair has

head coach.
Adair will be available to
meet potential new members at
the ‘love tennis’ open day from
1-4pm on September 7 and 8 at
the Redcliffs club.

High build quality for new Toyota RAV4
Motoring
Ross Kiddie
IT HAS TO be said – Toyota has
really upped the ante with its new
RAV4.
I remember writing about the
interior of the previous generation
model, referencing the hard plastic
trim and low grade materials
which formed the cockpit.
That has all changed, the new
RAV4 is a quantum leap, premium
linings have been used,
soft-touch surfaces have been
included, and the layout of the
controls is comprehensive but
simplistic to understand.
All this from a model which
isn’t graded as high-specification.
This evaluation surrounds the
GXL model which still gets cloth
seat trim – yet I believe these are
the seats for Christchurch. Every
morning the RAV4 was in my
care the temperature was below
0 deg C and freezing. It was nice
to get into the relative warmth of
cloth as opposed to leather.
The 2019 RAV4 lands in eight
variants. I evaluated the rangetopping
hybrid in July, and
reported that it was the most
sensible model in the series. However,
there are petrol-only models
for those who don’t want to go
down the hybrid road. There are
three models with 2-litre engines
driving through the front wheels
only, and two 2.5-litre all-wheeldrive
variants – the GXL and
Adventure.
The GXL 4WD lands at $41,990
($48,990 Adventure), which to
me represents good buying and,
as my introduction suggested, it
is now a car which borders on the
luxury car class such is its build
quality and drive comfort.
A lot of the latter has to do with
a brand new platform, the RAV4
is totally fresh from the ground
up, and it’s something Toyota has
put a big effort into. Well, when
the car you are marketing sits
in the one of the busiest market
segments, then it has to be good
to compete.
Yes, the mid-size sport utility
market is crowded, but the RAV4
has a healthy reputation and solid
grounding.
Under the bonnet sits a revised
version of the four-cylinder
2487cc engine that has served
Toyota well for several years.
While its basic construction
hasn’t changed a lot, it has been
refined for higher power outputs
and greater efficiency. Toyota rate
it with 152kW and 243Nm, both
outputs peaky at 6600rpm and
4000-5000rpm respectively.
TOYOTA RAV4 GXL: Significant off-road capability.
That matters little, the specific to be honest, I felt it a little unnecessary,
but it’s there for when
outputs are high enough to provide
solid performance, an 8.5sec maximum performance is needed

comfort. Sure, at almost 1.7m tall
the body does have some gravitational
movement, but it is well
arrested and handling balance is
unaffected.
Bear in mind too, the fourwheel-drive
RAV has several offroad
drive modes which provide
the model with serious off-road
potential.
As much as I enjoyed the GXL’s
traditional driveline, I’m sticking
by my comment that the hybrid
is the pick of the range and would
certainly be my choice.
Yet, I’m fully aware that RAV4
buyers want just that little point
of difference to other SUV owners
and, I guess, that’s what Toyota
was thinking of when it included
an Adventure model into the
range. It has body kits and an
interior colour contrasts which
are vivid and striking.
I’m due to evaluate it soon and
from what I’m hearing it is the
go-to model. Just as well, then,
Toyota has a RAV4 for all tastes.

‘Feedback I get from clients is that they never would
have seen & experienced as much in a destination
if they had been free wheeling it themselves – the Tour
Directors really add value and bring a destination alive and save you time
and energy figuring out the good spots! Not to mention the cost of parking’.

‘From the touring I have done there was no way I
could put together an itinerary & price that offered
better value than a coach tour. When you consider you
have all of your accommodation, transport, key sightseeing and sometimes
special dining experiences all included – it’s unbeatable’!
