Protecting breeding penguins
aim of Sumner beach boulders
FIFTEEN boulders placed on
Sumner beach near Shag Rock
will help protect white-flippered
penguins during their nesting
season.
When the Coastal Pathway
was built, nesting boxes were
included in the rock embankment
by Shag Rock as it as an area where
the penguins are known to nest and
breed between August and February
each year.
Over the last breeding season,
there was evidence of five pairs of
penguins breeding in the area.
Said city council transport
planning and delivery manager
Lynette Ellis: “We want to make sure
these penguins have a secure nesting
spot that is undisturbed by people
or dogs. On the advice of our coastal
rangers we recently placed additional
boulders to give them some more
protection.”
She said the white-flippered
penguin is endemic to Canterbury
and is classified by the Department
of Conservation as acutely
threatened.
“It is important that we do all we
can to protect the nesting areas.
“It’s amazing to have these birds
breeding in a spot so close to an
urban area and we want people to
have a sense of guardianship. The
last thing we want is people or their
animals inadvertently disturbing

the nesting penguins.’’
Ms Ellis said people can still access
the beach at Shag Rock from the
Coastal Pathway but they should use
the access stairs, which are located
a bit further along the path towards
Sumner.
The city council gained consent to
place the rocks in January and was
not required to notify the public.
But Redcliffs resident Pat McIntosh
said she believed the city council
should have told the public what it
was doing.
“It came as a bit of a surprise.”
The city council has been
contacted five times by 11 different
people over the boulders – one of
those was a complaint.
Meanwhile, the city council
and Environment Canterbury are
currently investigating options to
address the issue of rock spoil which
has come to the surface of
the sand near Shag Rock following
the construction of the Coastal
Pathway.

THE MYSTERY of why
boulders appeared near Shag
Rock has been solved (see
page 1).
The 15 boulders will help
protect white-flippered penguins
during their nesting
season from dogs and people.
Nesting boxes were
included in the Coastal
pathway embankment but
more protection has been
deemed necessary – hence
the boulders.
The penguins nest and
breed between August and
February.
White-flippered penguins
are acutely threatened so very
good care needs to be taken
for their protection.
So it’s great to see the city
council doing its bit.
And for Joe Public – stay
away and keep your dog on
a lead if you are near Shag
Rock.
That could be easier said
than done, I suspect.

Funding decisions on projects due
• By Jess Gibson
TWO HERITAGE buildings
in the Bay Harbour News area
could be getting a spruce up
with help from the city council.
Decisions will be made tomorrow
over a $4872 grant towards
works on
Akaroa Lighthouse,
and a
$13,549 grant
towards the
painting of 2
Cunningham
Tce, Lyttelton.
Tori Peden
Both grants
would cover
50 per cent of
the funds needed to complete
each project.
Banks Peninsula Community
Board chairwoman Tori
Peden said having the heritage
landmarks being protected and
taken care of is important.
“It would keep the character
and keep our history. We’ve got
to tell the story of these heritage
structures and how the history
of our people came to be.”
Akaroa’s Lighthouse Preservation
Society applied for funding
to carry out maintenance,
conservation, and display of the
original clockwork mechanism
and machinery of the structure
on Beach Rd.
The heritage item is New
Zealand’s only operating decommissioned
lighthouse and
one of a very limited number of
lighthouses in the world which is
regularly open to the public.
The lighthouse, constructed

in 1878, is run entirely by
the community volunteers of
the LPS, which is reliant on
donations and grants to support
their work and maintain the
structure.
A separate report by Resource
Management Group Ltd
recommends the approval of a
grant to paint the building at
2 Cunningham Tce, Lyttelton,
which was built in the 1870s.
The recommended grant
would pay for part of the proposed
works to the property,
which has high historical and
social significance for its association
with prominent Canterbury
businessmen and civic figures
John Thomas Peacock and Peter
Cunningham.
In a slightly later period, the
house has significance for its
use as a boarding house, and for
the long period of ownership
and occupation by the Robson-
Merrifield family.
It reflects a characteristic
feature of Lyttelton life through
to the mid-20th-century, where
properties were commonly
retained in and passed down
through families over multiple
generations.
In Brief
CRASH SITE INVESTIGATION
City council traffic engineers
and police were set yesterday
to investigate a fatal crash on
Summit Rd. It would focus on the
role road infrastructure played in
a May 19 crash where Anthony
Deverson, 78, of Wigram, died
after his car went over a bank
about 1km from Evans Pass Rd.
The city council is also looking
at road safety improvements
for a different section of the
road following the death of
sisters Tayla, 17, and Sunmara
Alexander, 15, in a crash last year.
FUNDS FOR PATHWAY
Funding has been secured for a
project which will see the Moncks
Bay section of the Coastal
Pathway temporarily widened to
enable social distancing. The city
council has received more than
$80,000 from the Government
to pay for the project, as well as
another one in the central city
which involves putting temporary
measures in place at pedestrian
and cycling pinch points.
JETTY BEAM REPLACEMENTS
Two rotten beams and one rotten
pile will be replaced at Redcliffs
Jetty, off Beachville Rd. The
jetty will be closed and unusable
during the maintenance period,
which is scheduled to take place
from June 2 to June 19.

Online book
initiative for seniors
AN ONLINE book programme has
been set up with older Cantabrians
in mind, aiming to maintain social
interaction with others while physically
distanced.
Campfire - Stories Read Aloud for
Adults was created by the city council’s
libraries staff, featuring a fresh chapter
read by librarians from a book every
Wednesday and Friday.
City council head of libraries and
information Carolyn Robertson said
library staff produced the programme
with “our older adult community in
mind and in collaboration with Age
Concern.”
“It is a story time for seniors as we
help ensure that our older library users
remain engaged during the lockdown,”
she said.
“We believe
Campfire can boost
well-being for older
adults and bring a
fresh face – and voice
– to their day. They
can watch and listen
to our librarians as
they read aloud.
Ms Robertson
said for many older
people who have enjoyed books, listening
to another voice can bring comfort in
connection.
“Some may have also lost the ability to
read because of poor eyesight or physical
impairments. We want to hold on to that
social interaction and love of books.”
Age Concern Canterbury chief
executive Simon Templeton has
welcomed the story time programme,
describing Campfire as “a great
initiative.”
“Older people are often avid readers,
so any programme that enables people
to stay connected with their library, with
others and with reading is great,” Mr
Templeton said.
“Some specific groups will benefit,
including those with vision impairment,
dexterity issues, or the housebound. I
think this type of programme will grow
in popularity as the population ages.
“I see it as a daily part of residential
care therapy for rest home residents, and
the means to have a ‘book club’ for those
who can’t read.
“While many older people do not use
the internet, there is a large number who
do – and this is growing,” he said.
Anyone can access Campfire via the
libraries’ website.
Stabilisation work
on slip under way
• By Jess Gibson
Carolyn
Robertson
A NEW retaining wall is being installed
on Wainui Main Rd in French Farm to
stabilise a localised slip which happened
early last year.
As well as building the retaining wall,
city council contractors will carry out
a partial reconstruction of the road,
minor drainage works and associated
civil works.
The cost of the remediation work will
cost between $250,000 and $275,0000.
There will be some noise disturbance
during the work, which will be carried
out from 7am to 7pm, Monday to
Saturday, and the road will be reduced
to one lane.
For residents on Wainui Main Rd,
bins are to be put out as usual before
6am on the set collection day and the
crew will move and return them.

Black Cat retains ferry contract
Phil Clearwater
BLACK CAT Cruises will
continue to connect Diamond
Harbour with Lyttelton by
sailing across the harbour for
another 12 years.
The company, which has been
operating the Diamond Harbour
ferry service since 2000, has
retained its contract by completing
Environment Canterbury’s
public transport procurement
process.
Transport
portfolio lead
councillor
Phil Clearwater
said that
ECan is looking
forward to
continuing its
partnership with Black Cat.
Together they are still looking
at options to get a new, lowemission
vessel as the current
ferry is nearing end of life.
Bay Harbour News reported in
October they aimed to have the
new vessel in service by 2021 but
Cr Clearwater said it may now
be another year out.
“It’s slower than myself or
Black Cat would desire but
equally they are working on it as
hard as they can.
“As we investigate options
for a new vessel, top of mind
will be our community’s desire
for a low-emission public
transport fleet, something we
heard resoundingly through our
Regional Public Transport Plan
consultation.
He said over the next two
years, ECan will work alongside
Black Cat to make an informed
decision on the propulsion system
of a new ferry.
“This will include closely
watching the results of other
electric ferry implementations as
they progress, as well as engaging
with local Canterbury boat
builders.”
The new contract allows for essential
maintenance work to be
undertaken on the current ferry
so it can continue operating for
the next few years, while plans
and costs for a new vessel are
finalised.
Cr Clearwater said the contract
period has been extended
SMOOTH SAILING:
Black Cat Cruises
has retained its
contract for the
Diamond Harbour
ferry service.

HUNTER
from nine years to 12 years and
will start from November this
year.
“The first two years will see
the contract price remain as it is
now, except to accommodate the
critical maintenance work on the
current vessel. The remaining 10
years will reflect the new vessel
build and running costs.
'The feasibility work done so
far indicates that the cost of an
electric vessel could be similar to
a diesel-powered vessel, so if we
can be confident that an electric
vessel can meet the requirements
of the service then we will
commission one.”
Boy racer
numbers reach
pre-Covid levels
• By Matt Slaughter
POLICE ARE disappointed
the number of boy racers in
Lyttelton has increased to pre-
Covid-19 levels since level 2
started.
Canterbury road policing
manager Inspector Greg Cottam
said extra police were on patrol
over the weekend and saw an
increase in the number of boy
racers compared to during alert
level 3.
“We’re seeing them popping
up in the normal spots, at the
airport and over in Lyttelton
way.
“Everything’s probably
returning to normal, which is
disappointing because we still
want people behaving. The
reality is that Covid is still
here.
“We have seen more activity
from that sort of community,”
he said
Inspector Cottam said it is
important drivers take the rules
of level 2 seriously and police
will be there to enforce them if
they do not.
“We’ll be enforcing the
restrictions that are set down for
that, along with any breaches of
the Land Transport Act.”

Concerns problem gambling
could rise under Covid-19 climate
With financial hardship
and unemployment
on the rise as a result
of the Covid-19 crisis,
could problem gambling
follow suit? Louis Day
investigates
THE NUMBER of people on
the job seeker benefit across
Canterbury rose by 4.8 per cent
last month compared to the same
period last year.
The situation is likely to worsen
with the city’s economic development
agency ChristchurchNZ
forecasting
up to 36,500
jobs will be
lost across the
region over
the next 12
months.
A recent
Dr Ekant Veer
survey from
the Canterbury
Employers’
Chamber of Commerce
showed 63 per cent out of 470
businesses across the region were
experiencing “significant financial
impacts” from Covid-19. The
survey also showed 30 per cent
of businesses believed their staffing
numbers would have to be
reduced by more than 25 per cent
in order to survive.
Canterbury University professor
of marketing Dr Ekant Veer,
who closely studies social change
and consumption patterns, said
research showed there was a link
between problem gambling and
financial hardship.
“We know that people who
are facing financial hardship in
general, not necessarily who are
unemployed, are more likely to
gamble. As we see a society in
where everyone’s incomes are
taking a hit we may see gambling
rise as a result of that,” he said.
Statistics show gambling in
New Zealand has been on a
steady incline for the last nine
years.
SPIKE: The financial hardship brought on by Covid-19 restrictions and economic downturn is
expected to bring a spike in problem gambling.
PHOTO: GETTY
In 2011 New Zealanders spent
$2 billion on gambling. Last
year it had increased to $2.4 billion.
The most popular form of
gambling last year was gaming
machines outside of casinos at
$924 million which was followed
by the $616 million spent inside
of casinos.
Salvation Army Oasis Centre
for Problem Gambling team
leader Graham Payne expected to
see a spike in gambling as restrictions
eased, with a particular
concern over pokie machines
within pubs and bars. He has
helped problem gamblers with
their addictions since 1992.
“When people who have got
gambling issues haven’t done it
for a while there is going to be
that catch-up phase, that is how
they operate, ‘I haven’t done it for
a while I need to catch up I have
saved all this money.’ I feel that
issues could really increase over
the first three to six months with
the pubs reopening,” he said.
Mr Payne had also witnessed
an increase in online gambling
over the lockdown period and
expected it to continue even as
other forms of gambling are
made available.
He said early signs of gambling
becoming an addiction were that

pokie machines.
“Pokies are the most harmful
form of gambling in New
Zealand. The majority of people
that seek help for a gambling
problem do so because of pokie
machines,” she said.
The foundation is currently
urging the Government to cut
back the country’s pokie machines
in coalition with The
Salvation Army and Māori health
agency Hapai te Hauora.
Ms Froude said the main reason
behind this was to reduce the
reliance community groups have
on grants from pokie trusts,
but also to reduce gamblingrelated
harm across the country.
A letter from the coalition to
Internal Affairs Minister Tracey
Martin said the Government
could easily replace the $242
million worth of pokie grants
from within its own funds and
argued the shutdown of pubs
and pokie machines due to the
pandemic presented a “golden
opportunity” for an overhaul of
the system.

Readers respond to
last week’s article
about Foodstuffs
South Island’s decision
to transform Redcliffs
New World into a Four
Square
Julia Pringle – I am
still disappointed that New
World will now become a
Four Square. I will likely
go to another New World
instead.
Ann Newsom – I think
it may backfire on them actually,
I’ve spoken to quite
a number of people who
have said they’re not going
to be shopping there if it’s
going to be a Four Square. I
wouldn’t do a weekly shop
there now, like I have been.
Helen Peate – I do
all my grocery shopping
at Redcliffs New World as
do many of my friends. Nowhere
have I read or heard
the reason that it is more
financially viable for the
name to change from New
World to Four Square. Both
are owned by Foodstuffs.
So why the name change
and reduction in staff
numbers? Are we going to
get less choice and cheaper
products or a reduction in
service? Why has there not
been an explanation?
Michaela Hicks – I
read the article in the newspaper
about the transition
for Redcliffs New World to
become a Four Square. As
a previous employee there,
I think that a rebrand is
good for the store as it is
not turning over a sustainable
income. However,
I would’ve thought they
could rebrand it to a mini
Pak’n’ Save like they have
at Levin, as it would be of
good size, and the prices
would be cheaper. I think
because Four Square is
more expensive than a New
World it may not thrive as
people may go to another
supermarket.

ONE OF the more
colourful native birds seen
around the estuary is the
welcome swallow or warou.
In fact, people are often
surprised the swallow’s
appearance when they see
a photo as there are not
many opportunities to see
them close up.
But large flocks are
common on the edges
of the estuary and
particularly around the
oxidation ponds when
they are erratically darting
above the water to catch
midgets.
Elsewhere they will also
feed on flies, moths and
other small insects.
Did you know that the
swallow even drinks water
in flight? They swoop up
water as they fly above the
ponds or estuary.
The swallow is also one of
few bird species that sleep
or rest in flight as they
prefer to stay airborne 24/7
BIRDS OF THE ESTUARY
Tanya Jenkins is the manager of the Avon-Heathcote Estuary Ihutai
Trust, a non-profit organisation formed in 2002 to protect one of
New Zealand’s most important coastal wetlands. Each week she
introduces a new bird found in the estuary. Her column aims to raise
the understanding of the values and uniqueness of the area.
Swallow likes to be airborne

unless they are nesting.
They only reach the age
of about six years, but they
sure make the most of
their time by producing
two, sometimes even three
clutches of eggs per season.
The female will incubate
the eggs alone but feeding
the chicks is a shared
task with help from other
swallow family members.
It is so lovely to see how
some bird species use this
combined effort and share
the load of chick feeding
duties.
The other notable fact
is how the swallow has
adapted so cleverly to
civilisation and now prefers
to build their cup-shaped
nests under the eaves of
homes away from direct
sunlight, or under bridges
or culverts.
The swallow is another
truly stunning and amazing
bird in our estuary
worth looking after - so
how can we help them to
thrive?
Predator control, picking
up litter when we see it and
of course, keeping our dogs
on the lead. Luckily the
city council has established
great dog parks all around
the city so no excuse to
let dogs roam around our
estuary.
No lawn too big.
No job too small.

Tasty Bites
Quick and easy fried rice
• By Ian Knott
Quick, easy and versatile,
fried rice can be used
as a side dish or main
meal. This tasty version is
loaded with vegetables
and can be transformed
into something even
greater by adding your
favourite protein
The best fried rice
4-6 servings
Ingredients
3 tbsp butter, divided
2 eggs, whisked
2 medium carrots, peeled, diced
1 small white onion, diced
½ cup frozen peas
3 cloves garlic, minced
salt and black pepper
4 cups cooked and chilled rice
3 green onions, thinly sliced
3-4 tbsp soy sauce
2 tsp oyster sauce (optional)
½ tsp toasted sesame oil
Directions
Heat ½ tbsp of butter in a large
sauté pan over medium-high
heat until melted. Add egg, and
cook until scrambled, stirring
occasionally. Remove egg, and transfer
to a separate plate.
Add an additional 1 tbsp of butter
to the pan and heat until melted. Add
carrots, onion, peas, garlic, and season
with a generous pinch of salt and
pepper. Sauté for about 5min or until
the onion and carrots are soft. Increase
heat to high, add in the remaining ½
tbsp of butter, and stir until melted.
Immediately add the rice, green onions,
soy sauce and oyster sauce (if using),
and stir until combined. Continue stirring
for an additional 3min to fry the rice.
Then add in the eggs and stir to combine.
Remove from heat, and stir in the sesame
oil until combined. Taste and season with
extra soy sauce, if needed.
Serve immediately, or refrigerate in a
sealed container for up to 3 days.
Top tips
It’s important to use cold, cooked rice.
So plan ahead and have some prepared.
Warm rice doesn’t tend to fry well when
it hits the hot pan and becomes soggy,
sticky clumps.
If you haven’t planned ahead, just
cook up a fresh batch of rice, spread it
out as thinly as possible on a backing
tray and put it in the fridge for 30min
(or freezer for 10-15min).
Use a high heat. This will help
brown the rice and vegetables, and
prevent the rice from steaming in
the pan. Don’t leave it sitting too
long though. Nobody wants burnt
fried rice.

Stop Surviving Start Fighting
by Jazz thornton
A hard-hitting, thought-provoking account of surviving suicide attempts
and moving on to a better life, which provides practical help and
inspiration to anyone affected by depression or suicide. Jazz Thornton first
attempted to take her own life at the age of 12. Multiple attempts followed
and she spent time in psychiatric wards and under medical supervision as
she rode the rollercoaster of depression and anxiety through her teenage
years - yet the attempts continued. Find out what Jazz learned about
how her negative thought patterns came to be, and how she turned those
thoughts - and her life - around. Who and what helped, and what didn’t
help. The insights she gives will help create greater understanding of those
grappling with mental illness, and provide support for those around them
who desperately want to help. Jazz went on to attend film school, and to co-found Voices of Hope, a
non-profit organisation dedicated to helping those with mental health issues and show them there is
a way forward. She creates online content to provide hope and help.

Chardonnay a true
peach of a grape
• By Mark Henderson
A HUGE number of
variables can influence
the retail price of a bottle
of wine, including the
amount and consequent
cost of viticultural and
winemaker input, yield per
hectare, oak usage, scarcity,
demand, market position
and market forces.
Today’s collection of
chardonnays covers the
gamut of pricing from
widely available value-formoney
offerings through
to scarce, limited-release
bottlings.
It’s a reminder of the
variety of styles produced
with this grape that can
certainly offer something
for everyone.
2018 Kono Nelson
Chardonnay
Price: $19.95
Rating: Very good to
excellent
Attractively fragrant
nose, Fruit driven with ripe
tropical fruits, peach and
warm bread. Creamy entry
and good texture, a hint
of oak underlay backing
the ripe fruits, showing
good richness through the
mouth with bright lift from
a grapefruit-like touch on
the close. Not huge but
generous nevertheless.
Lovely drinkability.
www.tohuwines.co.nz
2018 Main Divide
North Canterbury
Chardonnay
Price: $20.99
Rating: Good to very good
Powerful nose with
smoke and struck match,
a backdrop of white peach
and stonefruits. Smoky,
charry notes dominate
the palate, while the fruit
has a sweet ’n’ sour zing to
it. No doubting the fruit
intensity, and possibly
crowd appeal, but the
apricot kernel bittersweet
note masks the finish for
me.

2018 Trinity Hill
125 Gimblett Single
Vineyard Gimblett
Gravels Chardonnay
Price: $80
Rating: Outstanding
Expressively fragrant
nose of sweet cedar, warm
baguette, spice and ripe
peach. Lovely texture and
while there’s clear power
here, it retains a wonderful
lightness, brightness and
energy.
www.trinityhill.com
2018 Pegasus Bay
Chardonnay
Price: $44
Rating: Excellent
Brooding nose offering
struck match and a saline,
seashell-like note with
oak nuances in support.
Tropical fruits and
pineapple pop their heads
up, too. Creaminess, with
tropical and stonefruits
melding with citrus and
almond-led nuttiness on
the long close.

2017 Mills Reef
Elspeth Gimblett
Gravels Chardonnay
Price: $39.95
Rating: Excellent
Lifted nose with
(West’s) pineapple & pear,
fruit sherbet and melon.
There’s a cool wellspring
filling the palate led by
nectarine hints, though
with riper pineapple and
topical fruit seasoned with
oak as the wine aerates.
Creamy texture, notable
viscosity, with power and
weight in the mouth.
Potential yet to come,
too.

2019 Jules Taylor
Marlborough
Chardonnay
Price: $24.99
Rating: Very good to
excellent
Fruit jubes and ripe
pears lead, evolving
to peach, spices and
perfumed oak. An oily
richness frames the palate.
Peach and stonefruits flow
through the palate to a
lightly tannic, long nutty
finish. The bright acidity
adds a lemony hint and
freshness. Youthful, but
already drinking very
nicely.

MERCEDES-Benz has a huge
range of sport utility vehicles.
That is no surprise, the market
is demanding cars that cater for
many roles – family transport as
well as practicality.
The most popular SUV in the
luxury car maker’s range is the
GLC and, not surprisingly, it is
available in a series which accounts
for eight variants. There
is a petrol-electric hybrid model,
a plug-in EV, and those with
the choice of four, six or eightcylinder
engines; there’s even a
two-wheel-drive model.
However, most incorporate the
4Matic system which sends drive
to each corner.
It must also be noted that the
GLC is a series which incorporates
coupe-type models as well
as the traditional SUV.
The entire GLC range has just
had a bit of a refresh, there’s been
a styling change, and buyers now
have the choice of varying suspension
types, depending on how
the vehicle will be used, and the
surfaces it is likely to travel on, on
a daily basis.
The range spans prices from
$87,600 to $187,400.
The vehicle this evaluation focuses
on is GLC 300, a mid-range
SUV which lists at $102,500 in
standard form.
The 300 effectively replaces
the 250 from a year or two back.
Put simply, the four-cylinder
turbocharged petrol engine has
had a power and torque increase,
up from 155kW and 350Nm to
190kW and 370Nm.
The increase doesn’t affect the
silent and smooth operation of
the 2-litre, four cylinder unit. It is
a high-performing engine but it
does everything without making
a fuss, it searches the rev band
well but works fluidly through
the mid-range, maximum torque
arrives at 1800rpm and spreads to
4000rpm, and with peak power
arriving at just 5800rpm there is
no drop-off in performance.
A lot of that is also garnered
through the seamless flow of
gearing courtesy of a nine-speed
automatic transmission.
This engine is a powerhouse
through the whole acceleration
process, it will cut out a standstill
to 100km/h time of 6.1sec, and
will make 120km/h from 80km/h
in 3.8sec. Steering wheel-mounted
paddle shifters will assist the
driver if he/she decides to take
control over the acceleration
process.

Many options in Mercedes-Benz GLC range
MERCEDES-BENZ GLC 300: Boost in power for 2020.
It wouldn’t be a world-class
engine unless you get the benefits
of thrifty fuel usage, and that is
certainly the case in the 300. It
is rated by Mercedes-Benz with
an 8.1-litre per 100km combined
cycle average.
These figures are all quite
remarkable for a vehicle which
weighs in a little tubby at 1804kg,
but the point is that the engineering
which is coming out of
European factories at the moment
is at the forefront of technology,
and the GLC is just one example
of performance and economy all
rolled into one.
Time was a little against me on
the day I went testing and I didn’t
venture as far as I would normally
travel in an evaluation car. However,
on the roads west heading
home through Burnham and Lincoln
I got a thorough understanding
of the GLC’s behaviour on
the seal, and I enjoyed its nimble
and agile nature given that it is a
mid-size SUV.
Riding on huge 20in Pirelli rubber,
there is positive steering feel
and unyielding grip.
As you would expect from
Mercedes-Benz, the GLC is full
of luxury appointments, it has
the kit to make you feel you
have bought a lot of car, and it is
intensely comfortable to ride in,
even for five occupants.
One of the standout features
is the voice recognition operating
system which takes command
over many of the in-cabin
functions. By opening with “hey
Mercedes’’ you can instruct the
vehicle to do many of the adjustments
you would normally do by
hand. This could well be seen as a
safety device allowing the driver’s
hands to remain on the steering
wheel and to keep concentration

Safety has been at the forefront
of Mercedes-Benz’s manufacturing
operation for as long as I can
remember, and the company’s
entire range has a high ingredient
of built-in-safety features. The
GLC is brimming with all the
electronic functions which are
not far from offering autonomous
operation.
Some of them I could do without,
but the automotive world is
demanding vehicles intervene
on their own accord if collisions
seem imminent and Mercedes-
Benz has answered that call.
The GLC is just another
example of what make
Mercedes-Benz so desirable as
a manufacturer. The company
has recognised that buyers want
plenty of choice and the GLC
coupe and SUV options are
extensive.
Personally, I’d be opting for
the 63 S, just the thought of that
thundering V8 under the bonnet
is enough to make my heart race.
