Tech boost for 87-year-old rider<br />

EASY RIDER: Eric Hunter, 87, is moving with the times, extending his leisurely pursuit of cycling with an ebike.<br />

ERIC HUNTER has<br />

never been the breed of<br />

cyclist to take short cuts on<br />

the road, but at 87 the<br />

evergreen rider from<br />

Governors <strong>Bay</strong> is reluctantly<br />

in the saddle with modern<br />

technology.<br />

A non-travelling reserve on<br />

Great Britain’s cycling team<br />

for the Melbourne Olympics in<br />

1956, Hunter baulked when 17<br />

of his companions on a cycling<br />

tour through Europe in 2018<br />

opted for an electrical power<br />

boost.<br />

Covid<br />

blamed<br />

for rising<br />

house<br />

prices in<br />

Akaroa<br />

• By Matt Slaughter<br />

HOUSE PRICES in Akaroa have<br />

increased 58 per cent since last<br />

year.<br />

The median house price in<br />

Akaroa is now $830,000, compared<br />

to $525,000 at the same<br />

time last year.<br />

Harcourts<br />

Akaroa sales<br />

consultant Alan<br />

Nobbs said a<br />

reason for this<br />

increase could be<br />

because of travel<br />

restrictions<br />

Alan Nobbs<br />

caused by Covid-19.<br />

He said people may be spending<br />

money they would have spent<br />

on things like overseas travel on a<br />

buying holiday homes in Akaroa<br />

or renovating them to sell.<br />

“I think Covid’s got a lot to do<br />

with it. People aren’t travelling<br />

and aren’t necessarily intending<br />

to travel. I think we underestimate<br />

how much Kiwi’s spend<br />

travelling. •Turn to page 6<br />

has been going on to refresh the buildings and grounds,<br />

including the newly completed bathrooms and ensuites -<br />

an integral part of the refresh.<br />

The fit for purpose, new bathrooms have been designed for<br />

easy access with a refreshingly contemporary look and feel.<br />

Manager Scott says the refurbishment work is coming along<br />

nicely, with all the outdoor painting completed, the gardens<br />

newly planted and the new reception area now up and<br />

running.<br />

The new reception will make a big difference to friends and<br />

families visiting the village. “Before people had a choice of<br />

walking two directions and would get a bit lost, now they are<br />

greeted straight away with a warm welcome,” says Scott.<br />

It’s come just in time as staff and residents look forward to<br />

lots of visitors over the Christmas and holiday period.<br />

“We wish everyone a very merry Christmas and a safe and<br />

happy New Year”, says Scott.<br />

Rockfall risk closes Cave Rock entry<br />

ONE OF the entrances to<br />

Tuawera Cave Rock, on Sumner<br />

beach, is being closed to the<br />

public because of the rockfall risk.<br />

“We have recently noticed<br />

some rockfall around the<br />

smaller, northern entrance of<br />

Cave Rock so for safety reasons<br />

we have decided to close off that<br />

access point,’’ said city council<br />

regional parks manager Kay<br />

Holder.<br />

“We are putting fences and<br />

signs up to stop people gaining<br />

access to the cave through that<br />

opening, however, people can<br />

still get into the cave through the<br />

main entrances.<br />

“If you are entering the cave,<br />

please move through quickly and<br />

don’t linger. Cave Rock is a natural<br />

rock formation that is naturally<br />

weathering which means<br />

we can’t completely eliminate the<br />

risk of rockfalls.”<br />

Cave Rock, and the historic<br />

signal that sits atop it, both suffered<br />

significant damage in the<br />

earthquakes. Geotechnical work<br />

was subsequently done on Cave<br />

Rock to reduce the rockfall risk.<br />

Holder said more geotechnical<br />

work will be carried out over the<br />

coming months to determine<br />

the cause of the recent rockfalls<br />

at the northern entrance and to<br />

come up a long-term strategy.<br />

“The fencing will remain in<br />

place until that work is completed,”<br />

she said.<br />

In the meantime, the city<br />

council is also warning people<br />

not to try and clamber up Rapanui<br />

Shag Rock.<br />

“Rapanui Shag Rock is subject<br />

to rock movement with natural<br />

weathering and shouldn’t be<br />

climbed on.”<br />

Cave Rock’s unusual volcanic<br />

formation on the beach has provided<br />

the perfect natural playground<br />

for children and families<br />

alike over the years.<br />

The signal station at the top of<br />

the rock was used to signal vessels<br />

approaching Sumner when<br />

the wharf at Ferrymead was used<br />

to unload cargo for Christchurch<br />

in the 19th-century.<br />

In Brief<br />

STOPPING RESTRICTIONS<br />

Stopping and parking restrictions<br />

on Rue Balguerie, Akaroa, have<br />

been approved by the Banks<br />

Peninsula Community Board at<br />

their latest meeting. Following<br />

requests from the community<br />

to address traffic congestion and<br />

parking accessibility issues due<br />

to high demands for on-street<br />

parking, 2hr parking restrictions<br />

on the south-west side of Rue<br />

Balguerie, and no-stopping<br />

restrictions on the north-east<br />

side, will be installed. The<br />

restrictions will apply every day<br />

between 8am to 6pm.<br />

FLAG POLE MEMORIAL<br />

The Banks Peninsula<br />

Community Board has agreed<br />

to support the installation of<br />

a 9m flagpole at the French<br />

Farm waterfront beside the<br />

commemorative plaque naming<br />

the 14 men from the farm who<br />

served in World War 1. The<br />

French Farm Working Group<br />

made the request for support<br />

after the area was used to<br />

commemorate Anzac Day in<br />

April this year, and intend on<br />

doing so from now on once the<br />

flagpole is installed. Following<br />

the war, 13 men returned from<br />

service, and their names were<br />

embroidered on a New Zealanad<br />

flag by the women of the bay. A<br />

replica flag will be installed.<br />

‘As you get older you’re<br />

inclined to break easier’<br />

• From page 1<br />

But with his regular route from<br />

Governors <strong>Bay</strong> to the Sign of<br />

the Kiwi not getting any easier<br />

these days, Hunter has embraced<br />

the ebike as his preferred mode<br />

of transport thanks to sponsor<br />

Scotty Brown.<br />

“It’s a hard ride up to the Kiwi,<br />

it’s quite steep. As you get older<br />

it becomes harder, as you can<br />

imagine,” he said.<br />

So the Liverpudlian, who emigrated<br />

in 1964 to work in the hotel<br />

industry, is now comfortable<br />

on a bike with a top (assisted)<br />

speed of 32km/h.<br />

“This’ll prolong my riding, I<br />

don’t know how many (years) I’ve<br />

got left,” said Hunter, who started<br />

biking competitively in 1950.<br />

He represented England at<br />

regular intervals, including the<br />

Tour of Ireland and the Isle of<br />

Man International Road Race,<br />

which he rode for the Manx<br />

Trophy nine times before moving<br />

to New Zealand.<br />

The Coast to Coast endurance<br />

test appealed when it launched<br />

in 1983, Hunter was in the<br />

inaugural race and did the bike<br />

leg 11 times. He was the oldest<br />

competitor to complete the<br />

243km trek when he set off as a<br />

79-year-old.<br />

Hunter was a founder member<br />

of the ‘Magpies’ casual riding<br />

group around Cashmere and<br />

its ‘Elegant Eightys’ offshoot,<br />

though he now rides in more<br />

compact groups of two or three<br />

for safety reasons.<br />

“Unfortunately some people<br />

FITNESS: English-born Governors <strong>Bay</strong>-based cyclist Eric<br />

Hunter, 87, was a nine-time starter in the Isle of Man<br />

International Road Race before emigrating.<br />

as they get older they become<br />

a little bit hard of hearing and<br />

they don’t really know which way<br />

they’re going, and there’s a few<br />

accidents,” he said.<br />

“As you get older you’re inclined<br />

to break easier and you<br />

take longer to recover.”<br />

Naturally Hunter has had to<br />

get back on his bike more than<br />

once, with a broken collarbone<br />

via a Coast to Coast pile up<br />

nominated as his worst injury.<br />

He has also needed two knee<br />

replacements, a hip pin, a heart<br />

stent and a titanium ankle.<br />

“That was just wear and tear,”<br />

Hunter said of his new left ankle.<br />

“It’s actually harder to walk<br />

than it is to ride a bike. Walking<br />

down my driveway and along the<br />

beach every day with my little<br />

doggie . . . it’s harder walking<br />

than riding a bike.”<br />

So Hunter is at ease riding up<br />

to 200km a week, he even managed<br />

21km – at <strong>23</strong>.2km/h – when<br />

he turned 87 on <strong>December</strong> 5.<br />

“I go out on the bike four times<br />

a week, I play golf and I go out<br />

on the canoe depending on the<br />

weather,” he said.<br />

Hunter tees off at Rawhiti, in<br />

New Brighton, about <strong>23</strong>km from<br />

home, so understandably he<br />

takes the car before driving.<br />

PRECIOUS: A 3ha block in Okains <strong>Bay</strong> is set to become<br />

protected, allowing a number of plant species to thrive.<br />

Covenant will protect<br />

native plants on farmland<br />

ABOUT THREE hectares of<br />

land on a beef farm in Okains<br />

<strong>Bay</strong> will be protected by a<br />

Banks Peninsula Conservation<br />

Trust covenant.<br />

The Thelning covenant project<br />

has been “thought about for a<br />

long time,” landowners Peter and<br />

Cynthia Thelning said.<br />

It was one of four projects recommended<br />

for Immediate Steps<br />

biodiversity funding by Banks<br />

Peninsula Water Zone Committee<br />

and will receive about<br />

$16,000 of funding.<br />

The funding will be used<br />

alongside more than $20,000<br />

from the city council’s Biodiversity<br />

Fund, to fence and covenant<br />

a 2.8ha forested section of<br />

Okains <strong>Bay</strong>.<br />

The project connects to several<br />

other covenants along Okains<br />

<strong>Bay</strong> Stream.<br />

The Thelnings, who are farmers,<br />

have been keen to protect<br />

the stream and its values such as<br />

mahinga kai and biodiversity for<br />

a long time, and were happy to<br />

be able to work with Banks Peninsula<br />

Conservation Trust and<br />

Environment Canterbury staff to<br />

progress plans.<br />

“Marie from BPCT has guided<br />

us throughout the process.<br />

“Stock will be kept out by the<br />

fencing constructed around the<br />

reserve, which will really preserve<br />

the flora in the area,” Peter<br />

Thelning said.<br />

To allow native species to<br />

flourish, the Thelnings will also<br />

undertake pest and weed control,<br />

with some sycamore control<br />

already being completed.<br />

Banks Peninsula Water<br />

Zone Committee chairwoman<br />

Benita Wakefield is proud local<br />

landowners are taking action to<br />

protect and enhance biodiversity<br />

and water quality in the zone.<br />

“Projects like this highlight the<br />

collective effort that’s going on<br />

to improve the waterways and<br />

biodiversity values in our zone<br />

and contribute to the vision of<br />

‘ki uta ki tai’ (mountains to the<br />

sea),’ she said.<br />

There are a variety of native<br />

species including adultmataī<br />

(black pine), kahikatea (white<br />

pine) and andtōtaraare present<br />

in the reserve, with seedlings<br />

coming through in the undergrowth.<br />

The trees make good homes<br />

for tūī, korimako (bellbirds) and<br />

andkererū New Zealand wood<br />

pigeons. These have all been seen<br />

in the area by the Thelnings.<br />

The project will help to protect<br />

a diverse range of native plant<br />

species, including the only native<br />

climbing daisy with yellow flowers<br />

-climbing groundsel (Brachyglottis<br />

sciadophila), which is at<br />

risk of declining according to the<br />

Department of Conservation.<br />

The site also contains other<br />

native plant species such astitoki<br />

(New Zealand ash) porokaiwhiri<br />

(pigeonwood) and a variety of<br />

ferns.<br />

This indicates natural regeneration<br />

of the site has begun, and<br />

good ecosystem health exists – a<br />

recipe for success when it comes<br />

to protection projects.<br />

“They’re putting it into<br />

Nobbs.<br />

He said Akaroa’s<br />

proximity to Christchurch<br />

and its impressive<br />

landscape have made it<br />

desirable for buyers in the<br />

last year.<br />

“It’s a place that’s close<br />

to Christchurch that gets<br />

them out of Christchurch.<br />

It’s beautiful and there’s<br />

quite a lot to do once<br />

your’re there.”<br />

Nobbs said it’s hard to<br />

pinpoint specific examples<br />

of houses which have<br />

sold for significant values<br />

in Akaroa recently, but<br />

“there’s been quite a lot<br />

of multi-million and million<br />

dollar sales and more<br />

million dollar sales in the<br />

last six to 12 months and<br />

several years that become<br />

the norm.”<br />

ESTUARY MATTERS<br />

The Avon-Heathcote Estuary Ihutai Trust is a non-profit<br />

organisation formed to protect one of New Zealand’s<br />

most important coastal wetlands. Each week, board<br />

members will discuss matters regarding the estuary, its<br />

rich history and what makes it unique. This week Bill<br />

Simpson writes about the country’s youngst member<br />

of Parliament in history<br />

ONE OF the oddities of<br />

our estuary edge is a wide<br />

drain where Linwood Ave<br />

runs into Humphreys<br />

Drive.<br />

The land was designated<br />

a canal reserve when early<br />

European settlers arrived.<br />

A canal was planned to<br />

be built from a planned<br />

port in the estuary to central<br />

Christchurch. The idea<br />

lost momentum when the<br />

railway tunnel from Lyttelton<br />

opened in 1867.<br />

The planned route was<br />

called Canal Reserve but<br />

over time most of it became<br />

a road.<br />

There were many suggestions<br />

for a new name<br />

including Seaward Rd,<br />

New Commercial Rd and<br />

Port Christchurch Rd. The<br />

old name Canal Reserve<br />

Rd persisted until the new<br />

name Linwood Ave was<br />

firmly in place by 1924.<br />

Early plans for Christchurch<br />

show three routes<br />

for canals; those routes<br />

were along Marshland Rd,<br />

Sparks Rd, and of course<br />

Linwood Ave.<br />

The wide drain at the<br />

estuary end of the avenue<br />

has been thought to be<br />

the start of a canal, but it<br />

was actually a stormwater<br />

drain. Newspaper reports<br />

from 1935 record how<br />

the previous road-side<br />

open sewer and drain was<br />

widened and deepened by<br />

unemployed relief workers.<br />

Tidal gates were installed<br />

of fireworks has been<br />

banned under the Fire<br />

and Emergency Act.<br />

A breach of this<br />

act can result in two<br />

years imprisonment or<br />

$300,000 fine.<br />

Said Stackhouse:<br />

“Using fireworks should<br />

be completely out of the<br />

question, and we will take<br />

a very dim view of anyone<br />

who is found to be using<br />

them while this ban is in<br />

place.”<br />

across the <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong><br />

News area in the last year.<br />

House prices in some<br />

of New Zealand’s holiday<br />

hotspots have jumped more<br />

than 50 per cent in a year,<br />

according to the Real Estate<br />

Institute.<br />

The canal to nowhere<br />

so at high tide the drain<br />

became a storage basin for<br />

stormwater.<br />

Excavated dirt was used<br />

to form Humphreys Drive.<br />

Today you can cross the<br />

Linwood Drain via the tiny<br />

wooden pedestrian bridge<br />

on Humphreys Drive. The<br />

bridge itself is a section<br />

of the wooden one-way<br />

bridge that crossed the<br />

mouth of the Avon River at<br />

South Brighton which was<br />

replaced in the 1980s.<br />

The drain is a haven for<br />

birds. Occasionally you<br />

can see a white heron feeding<br />

and scores of Christchurch<br />

children have had<br />

the delight of feeding<br />

the numerous ducks that<br />

gather there.

“Despite the national festival<br />

coming to a close at the end of<br />

last season, Banks Peninsula has<br />

committed to delivering a great<br />

day for all ages every year and<br />

this year is no exception,” said<br />

May.<br />

“Heading out to Motukarara<br />

for the country races with<br />

friends and family has become a<br />

summer tradition.”<br />

The youngest racegoers can<br />

expect activities ranging from<br />

bouncy castles and pony rides<br />

to racing each other down the<br />

home straight.<br />

Plan to get the best use<br />

out of community facilities<br />

A NEW plan will make it easier<br />

for community boards and the<br />

city council to make decisions<br />

about facilities and how they’re<br />

run in the Banks Peninsula area<br />

and beyond.<br />

The Community Facilities<br />

Network Plan adopted by the<br />

city council provides a snapshot<br />

of all the community centres,<br />

halls and volunteer libraries, detailing<br />

where they are and what<br />

they offer.<br />

Eighty of the facilities – collectively<br />

valued at $83 million<br />

– are owned by the city council.<br />

Another 82 facilities are owned<br />

by community groups, churches<br />

and trusts.<br />

“Community facilities are<br />

important spaces because they<br />

bring people together and<br />

provide opportunities for the<br />

shared experiences that help<br />

build strong communities,’’<br />

said councillor Sara Templeton,<br />

city council sustainability and<br />

community resilience committee<br />

chairwoman.<br />

“What the work on the Community<br />

Facilities Network<br />

Plan shows us is that we have a<br />

comprehensive network of community<br />

facilities spread across<br />

Moving forward, any changes<br />

made to the provision of these<br />

facilities was likely to arise from<br />

a change in community needs,<br />

she said, rather than a need to fill<br />

ferrymead<br />

medIcal centre<br />

PROCESS: The new Community Facilities Network Plan<br />

will make it easier for community boards and the city<br />

a geographical gap.<br />

“The only parts of the city<br />

where a shortage of facilities<br />

could become an issue in the<br />

future is in the north and southwest<br />

where most of the population<br />

growth is expected to occur,”<br />

said Cr Templeton.<br />

“Where possible, we want to<br />

partner with communities to<br />

help them make the most of<br />

each facility. We want to support<br />

them in identifying opportunities<br />

for new events, activities<br />

and programmes that will bring<br />

these spaces to life.<br />

“We would love to hear from<br />

groups who might be interested<br />

in managing their local facility.”

Tasty Bites<br />

Break out the barbecue to cook your beef<br />

Warm temperatures<br />

and a family to cook<br />

for? Get the barbecue<br />

cranking and let it do<br />

the hard work. Try this<br />

simple way to cook a<br />

ribeye or the Sunday<br />

roast<br />

Barbecue ribeye steak<br />

Ingredients<br />

Ribeye steaks, at least 4cm<br />

thick<br />

Olive oil<br />

Salt<br />

Fresh ground black pepper<br />

Directions<br />

Preheat the barbecue to high<br />

heat. If you have a sear burner<br />

and a steak that is more than<br />

3cm thick, get one side of the<br />

grill going at about mediumhigh<br />

in case you need to cook<br />

it through a little more after the<br />

sear.<br />

Remove the ribeye steaks from<br />

their packaging and rub them<br />

down with some olive oil and<br />

then coat a generous amount<br />

of salt and freshly ground black<br />

pepper. The olive oil provides<br />

just enough fat to help the salt<br />

and pepper create a great, caramelised<br />

crust.<br />

Clean and lubricate your grill<br />

grates with some cooking oil on<br />

a rolled up piece of paper towel<br />

(using tongs, of course).<br />

Place the ribeye steaks on the<br />

hottest part of the grill and then<br />

stand ready with the tongs.<br />

At this point, you are on flareup<br />

watch. The fat dripping off of<br />

the steaks could create a flare-up.<br />

If a flare-up occurs and doesn’t<br />

go away in a few seconds, simply<br />

use your tongs to slide the steaks<br />

away from the open flame until<br />

the flame dies down and then<br />

move them back over the heat.<br />

Continue to grill with the lid<br />

open for about 4-6min.<br />

Flip the steaks over onto the<br />

other side, still over the hottest<br />

part of the grill.<br />

Grill the ribeye steaks for an<br />

additional 4-6min on the other<br />

side, lid open, for a medium-rare<br />

delicious steak.<br />

Remove the steaks from the<br />

grill and allow to rest for 5min<br />

before serving.<br />

The resting period is important<br />

so that the juices don’t run<br />

out when you cut into the ribeye,<br />

so be patient.<br />

Slow-cooked beef rump<br />

with fennel and olives<br />

– Serves 4<br />

Ingredients<br />

Grilled steak<br />

from the<br />

barbecue and<br />

a slow roasted<br />

beef rump.<br />

1kg beef roast<br />

3 cloves crushed garlic<br />

1 Tbsp thyme leaves<br />

1 Tbsp rosemary leaf, chopped<br />

1 to taste flaky sea salt<br />

1 shallot, diced<br />

1 to taste freshly ground black<br />

pepper<br />

1 carrot, diced<br />

1 fennel bulb, sliced<br />

12 olives, pitted<br />

1 cup beef stock<br />

Directions<br />

Ensure beef is at room temperature<br />

before cooking. Wipe dry.<br />

Combine the garlic, thyme,<br />

rosemary, salt and pepper and rub<br />

over the meat.<br />

Place the vegetables on the base<br />

of a slow cooker or your outdoor<br />

cooker.<br />

Rest the meat on top.<br />

Add the stock and place the lid<br />

on the cooker.<br />

Turn the temperature to low and<br />

cook for 4-5 hours.<br />

BMW wagon with performance edge<br />

WHEN I LOOK back at my first<br />

real car I wonder how much<br />

influence that model has in the<br />

way I view cars today.<br />

That car was an early F-series<br />

Holden, and up until the<br />

time where vee engines were<br />

introduced into the Commodore<br />

in the late 80s, most Holdens sold<br />

up until then had an in-line sixcylinder<br />

engine.<br />

I remember mine for its<br />

smooth, uninterrupted flow of<br />

power, and every time I drive<br />

inline sixes I relate to the feel and<br />

sound, even today the experience<br />

is not dissimilar. Given that my<br />

wife and I own two cars with<br />

that configuration, there must be<br />

some long-lasting effect.<br />

The latest inline six to come<br />

my way for evaluation was<br />

BMW’s M340i and it represents<br />

everything I like in a driveline.<br />

What’s more, its body style was<br />

another plus - it was a Touring<br />

wagon, all-up the package is<br />

something I see as being very<br />

desirable – definitely a Lottowinning<br />

dream car<br />

The 3-Series is my favourite<br />

BMW car line, it is traditional<br />

in many ways, and with an M<br />

badge you can bet the 340i has<br />

something special on offer in<br />

terms of performance. Of course,<br />

you don’t have to go high power,<br />

the 3 Touring is also available<br />

with two diesel engine options,<br />

four and six-cylinder. The range<br />

starts at $85,100 for the 320d,<br />

the 330d adds $14,700, while<br />

the M340i as evaluated sits at<br />

$129,300, and for my money it’s<br />

worth every cent, it is a fabulous<br />

all-round vehicle and certainly a<br />

compromise if you don’t want to<br />

join the masses and buy a sport<br />

utility vehicle.<br />

The heart of the M340i is its<br />

engine, not only does it have all<br />

the traditional BMW hallmarks<br />

of efficiency and sultry smooth<br />

behaviour, it is turbocharged,<br />

and that adds to the unfaltering<br />

delivery that makes this design so<br />

desirable. If you are wondering<br />

if this engine just arrived out of<br />

nowhere, it’s been around in the<br />

BMW Z4 for a few years now<br />

and, of course, it’s the same as<br />

that is fitted to Toyota’s latest<br />

Supra.<br />

BMW rates the 2998cc unit<br />

at 285kW with a beefy 500Nm<br />

of torque available at just<br />

1850rpm. The result is a potent<br />

flow of force from idle through<br />

to red-line. These outputs are<br />

enough to produce a standstill<br />

to 100km/h time of just 4.5sec,<br />

while its mid-range acceleration<br />

is extraordinary with a blistering<br />

3.9sec time to make 120km/h<br />

from 80km/h.<br />

• Price – BMW M340i<br />

Touring xDrive, $129,300<br />

• Dimensions – Length,<br />

4713mm; width, 1827mm;<br />

height, 1440mm<br />

• Configuration – Sixcylinder,<br />

four-wheel-drive,<br />

2998cc, 285kW, 500Nm,<br />

eight-speed automatic<br />

• Performance –<br />

0-100km/h, 4.5sec<br />

• Fuel usage – 8l/100km<br />

Drive is transmitted through<br />

a quick-shifting eight-speed<br />

automatic gearbox. In typical<br />

BMW fashion, power is then<br />

directed to the rear wheels, and<br />

herein lies another surprise,<br />

all 3-Series Touring wagons<br />

get xDrive, BMW’s power<br />

proportioning four-wheel-drive<br />

system. When the electronic<br />

traction control devices deem<br />

more grip is needed, drive is then<br />

transferred seamlessly to the<br />

front.<br />

Purists need not worry, the<br />

M340i still feels like a rear-wheeldrive<br />

car, and if you like it to<br />

be playful you can adjust the<br />

traction control settings so that<br />

bias to the rear is predominant.<br />

I didn’t alter the settings at all, I<br />

simply don’t drive to that extreme<br />

any more but it is nice to have<br />

that feel and knowing that if you<br />

BMW M340I: Silky smooth and powerful inline six-cylinder engine.<br />

do present a corner too quickly,<br />

or that there is a slippery exit, the<br />

systems are in place to keep you<br />

out of trouble.<br />

Drive is forceful, the engine<br />

reacts solidly to throttle request,<br />

providing instant acceleration<br />

along with a tantalising sound,<br />

there is an angry bellow out of<br />

the exhausts, although that only<br />

manifests under a heavy throttle,<br />

otherwise the engine has a sweet<br />

aural tone and only lets you know<br />

it is enjoying its work.<br />

That feel is transmitted<br />

throughout the entire car, not<br />

only is it exciting in terms of<br />

power flow, the M340i handles<br />

like a traditional sports sedan, the<br />

wagon section is no handicap in<br />

terms of how it feels in a corner,<br />

it has impeccable handling<br />

manners with high grip levels and<br />

a feel at the steering wheel that is<br />

natural, yet involving.<br />

The M340i sits on high<br />

performance, 19in Bridgestone<br />

Turanza tyres, there’s more<br />

rubber at the rear than there is<br />

at the front (225/40 and 255/35),<br />

steering feel is sharp and accuracy<br />

unsurpassed.<br />

Road works near Glenroy on<br />

my favourite inland route – State<br />

Highway 72/scenic route – meant<br />

looking for other roads on which<br />

to evaluate, I decided on the<br />

northern section of that road<br />

from Loburn to Waddington and<br />

could tell the M340i enjoyed the<br />

freedom of those straights and<br />

fast flowing corners. It was in its<br />

element on the high country run,<br />

it is a genuine touring car and one<br />

which delights with its ability.<br />

It can be forced into corners<br />

quickly, rewarding with its<br />

balance and directional stability,<br />

the suspension is sublime,<br />

creating athleticism along with<br />

balance.<br />

A lot of the latter is due to a<br />

marginally lowered ride height<br />

from that of its stablemates,<br />

at 1.4m it sits low meaning<br />

gravitational movement is<br />

negated to full effect. That’s<br />

something you get in an M-Sport<br />

car, the chassis mechanicals are<br />

engineered for performance,<br />

there’s also a premium brake<br />

package which provides<br />

immediate surety when speed<br />

needs to be chiselled off quickly.<br />

Not only does the M340i<br />

reward the driver with its highspeed<br />

capability, it is also the<br />

everyday car which does its<br />

best to look after the occupants.<br />

Ride comfort is superb and it is<br />

amazingly practical, the rear load<br />

section isn’t cavernous, but it is<br />

deep and easily took care of the<br />

hefty Kiddie-family grocery haul.<br />

The cabin is plush and the seats<br />

are formed brilliantly to contain<br />

the body. Seat adjustment is vast,<br />

there are several applications to<br />

suit the driver and most are done<br />

electrically. There are also heated<br />

seats for when winter bites.<br />

Other features include headup<br />

display, satellite navigation,<br />

electric sunroof, paddle-shifters,<br />

automatic stop-start, and<br />

comprehensive infotainment<br />

network, many of these functions<br />

can be controlled by voice<br />

activation.<br />

As part of the on-screen<br />

displays, the M340i has a<br />

comprehensive trip computer<br />

and fuel usage readouts, bearing<br />

in mind there are economical<br />

drive modes if the driver wishes<br />

to select them through a consolemounted<br />

switching system.<br />

Against BMW’s eight-litre<br />

per 100km combined cycle<br />

claim, I recorded a 9.6l/100km<br />

figure along with a 5.8l/100km<br />

instantaneous figure travelling<br />

at 100km/h on the highway with<br />

the engine turning over relaxed at<br />

just 1400rpm.<br />

How BMW make this engine<br />

so relaxed yet so forceful is a<br />

constant source of amazement,<br />

the M340i is a car for those who<br />

want everyday relaxation in<br />

their travel, yet know that there<br />

is power in abundance for the<br />

highway overtake and for speed<br />

when conditions allow.<br />

The 3-Series in total is a range<br />

of vehicles engineered for driving<br />

pleasure and I’m really smitten<br />

with the concept, the M340i has<br />

road feel, power and handling<br />

that makes you feel so much part<br />

of the car.<br />

I didn’t win Big Wednesday last<br />

“We need a fully integrated<br />

would essentially be an alliance<br />

the whole area bit by bit and<br />

done,” she said during the<br />

campaign.<br />

CALLS HAVE been made to<br />

stop rates increases in response<br />

to the Covid-19 crisis.<br />

City councillors James Gough,<br />

Sam MacDonald, Catherine<br />

Chu, Phil Mauger, Aaron Keown<br />

and James Daniels have sent a<br />

letter to Mayor Lianne Dalziel<br />

asking her to lead a conversation<br />

as to how a zero per cent rates<br />

increase could be achieved this<br />

year.<br />

The city council is proposing<br />

an average rates increase of 4.65<br />

per cent across all ratepayers in<br />

this year’s Draft Annual Plan<br />

which is currently under public<br />

consultation until April 5 and<br />

will be finalised before July 1.<br />

The 2018-2028 Long Term<br />

Plan also predicts a 50 per cent<br />

rates increase over 10 years.<br />

Said Cr MacDonald: “In<br />

the current environment it’s<br />

clear business as usual is not<br />

appropriate and the council<br />

needs to look at how we enable<br />

this 12-month rates increase<br />

freeze to occur, it’s crucial for<br />

the economic confidence of our<br />

city.”<br />

Ms Dalziel said the last thing<br />

the city council needed was for<br />

someone to hit the panic button.<br />

“Calm heads must and will<br />

prevail,” she said.<br />

“Our residents and businesses<br />

will be depending on us to<br />

make adjustments, and we will,<br />

however, we will need advice<br />

on the impacts on all aspects of<br />

Vaping rules<br />

the council’s budget, which is<br />

not entirely funded by rates, and<br />

the consequences that will flow<br />

from decisions we make.<br />

“The Annual Plan is not<br />

signed off for three months so<br />

we have time to get this advice.<br />

At the same time, the council<br />

is meeting with our economic<br />

development agency, ChristchurchNZ,<br />

the Canterbury Employers’<br />

Chamber of Commerce<br />

and other key players so we are<br />

best prepared for the economic<br />

challenges that lie ahead.”<br />

City council chief executive<br />

Dawn Baxendale did not rule a<br />

zero rates rise out.<br />

“We’re considering a series of<br />

options in light of the extraordinary<br />

circumstances related to<br />

Covid-19. We will discuss these<br />

options with elected members<br />

as we develop the Annual Plan,”<br />

she said.<br />

The push from city councillors<br />

for a freeze on rates rises comes<br />

shortly after Minister of Finance<br />

Grant Robertson announced<br />

a $12.1 billion package to aid<br />
