Collector seeks owners of tuned Car collector George Pappas was just a kid living in Vancouver’s Main Street neighborhood when he saw his first Cheetah. The specially badged 1968 Pontiac ALYN EDWARDS Beaumont Sport Deluxe Classic with a huge 427-cubicRIDES inch engine and fourspeed transmission was in for service at Jim Pattison Pontiac Buick. George’s older brother tried to get his dad to buy it and trade in his more sedate 307-cubic-inch V8-equipped Pontiac Beaumont. But this was a customer’s car and not for sale. The-427 cubic-inch four-speed Cheetah left a huge impression on young George. Mike Carmichael, general manager of West Vancouver’s Conroy Pontiac Buick, had noticed a new car-buying trend focused on exciting performance muscle cars. He set out to capture this market with his own dealer-built supercars. He began to factory order Canadianonly Beaumont Sport Deluxe models (which only came with Chevrolet drivelines) and add the Cheetah package with high performance options that could make them into street or drag strip racers. Of the approximately 50 Cheetahs built, most were equipped with 396cubic-inch engines and M20 wide ratio four-speed transmissions. But no more than 10 of these cars got the high horsepower 427-cubic-inch L72 engines

with four-speed transmissions and other performance equipment installed in the Conroy Pontiac shop. A low number were built in 1965 with small block V8 engines. In 1966, a dozen big block Beaumont SD Cheetah cars were sold. The years 1966, 1967 and 1968 saw more than 40 big block Cheetah cars sold, some with 427-cubic-inch 450 horsepower engines. Only three Cheetah Beaumonts are believed to have been built and sold in 1969. They were not the Sport Deluxe
model and only used the 350-cubic-inch engines. The only Cheetah ever built with an automatic transmission was one of these three. It was the Conroysponsored drag race car. Conroy had sponsored drag race cars since 1966. Meanwhile, Nickey Chevrolet in Chicago, Baldwin Motion on Long Island, New York and Yenko Chevrolet in Canonsberg, Pennsylvania were building the new Chevrolet Camaro into super cars with 427 engines and Continued on Pg.

Conroy Pontiac is believed to be the second dealership in North America behind Nickey Chevrolet in Chicago to produce dealer-built super cars, to be followed by Baldwin Motion and Yenko.

General Motors showed the company’s vision of the Chevrolet EN-V 2.0 concept at the recent Auto China 2012. It is an evolved design of the company’s revolutionary mobility concept revealed at World Expo 2010 Shanghai. The original EN-V (Electric NetworkedVehicle) concept was a centerpiece of the SAIC-GM Pavilion at World Expo 2010. The two-seat electric vehicle pioneered a new automobile DNA based on the convergence of electrification and connectivity. It was developed to show the possibilities for alleviating concerns surrounding traffic congestion, parking availability, air quality and affordability for tomorrow’s cities. The EN-V 2.0 concept adds features that consumers demand such as in-vehicle climate control and personal storage space. In addition, it would be capable of driving in all weather and city road conditions. GM expects to use EN-V 2.0 prototype models in pilot studies throughout China.

All-New Ford Fusion features unique crush can safety feature The new shape of the 2013 Ford Fusion conceals another shapeoptimized innovation that helps keep the car and those inside it safer. The brand-new car features two diamond square-shaped crush cans, which are hollow pieces of metal between the bumper and the front end of the vehicle structure.
BMW X1: Style and efficiency The new BMW X1 now offers an even more sporty and refined take on the premium compact crossover, a market it defined at launch 2 1/2 years ago. With revised dynamic exterior styling, detail improvements to the cabin and a new range of advanced diesel engines, the new X1 is perfectly placed to continue the sales success of the outgoing model. Every rear-wheel drive X1 now emits less than 130g/km of CO2, and with the option of a new eightspeed automatic gearbox combined with BMW’s award-winning EfficientDynamics technologies, the new BMW X1 range is more efficient than ever before. Customers can now also choose from two new models: Sport and
At low speeds, the crush can manages the impact energy by quickly offering resistance force due to its additional corners. This reduces the stroke and keeps the deformation within the crush cans. This progressive collapse helps eliminate damage to the rest of the car. The crush can and the bumper beam assembly is bolted onto the front rails making the parts easier to replace as

xLine. In addition, SE and M Sport specifications receive an increase in standard equipment. The new BMW X1 has a new flagship model in the form of the xDrive25d, which is only available in four-wheel drive. The 25d features a pair of turbochargers working together in sequence. The smaller of the two turbochargers features variable geometry technology and is responsible for the low rev response of the engine. The larger turbo is concerned with higher rev output and helps the engine to produce 218 hp at 4,000rpm. On the road this equates to a 0-100 km/h time of just 6.8 seconds and a top speed of 142 mph.
well. This protection saves the driver from costly repairs to the cooling system and horn. At higher speeds, the crush can efficiently absorbs the impact energy by completely collapsing around itself in tighter spirals to help protect the driver and passengers inside the vehicle. In a crash at 50 km/h, the can resembles a condensed screw due to the way it crushes.

When involved in an accident, the crush cans collapse progressively to efficiently absorb the energy of an impact. The diamond square-shape design is the result of what engineers call shape optimization, or the simulation of different shapes to find the right geometry to provide additional protection for the new Fusion and its passengers.

Heartburn Reflux By Dr. Chakib Hammoud, M.H.,PhD.
The USDA now recommends to eat 50% alkaline food (vegetables, legumes, salads, fruit). Health professionals suggest 80% alkaline food. Unfortunately, North American people eat 90% acidic food (meat, pasta, rice, bread, pastries, sweets, junk food). If you cannot change your diet to USDA’s 50% or closer to 80% alkaline food, consider to supplement with a natural health product that helps to increase your pH alkaline level close to a healthy 7. Ask for Bell Acidic Stomach/Alkaline Balance #39. It’s inexpensive, has no side effects and may eliminate the need for anti-acid pills many people take. As a bonus, an alkaline balanced body prevents many illnesses. See guarantee printed on box.

The Bentley Continental GTC now features an upgraded 6.0-litre W12 engine with 567 hp and 516 lb/ft of torque.
Bentley Continental GTC 6.0 Litre W12 redesign features uncompromising quality Metroland Media WheelsTalk.com
Taking cues from its 6.0-litre W12 GT coupe sibling, the Bentley Continental GTC builds on the highly successful foundation of the previous cabriolet, which premiered in 2006. Bentley’s design and engineering teams have improved virtually every aspect of the iconic convertible with an uncompromising focus on quality. While the original Continental GTC was elegant and understated, the sharper radii and assertive stance of the new model delivers a more contemporary and muscular presence. Advanced manufacturing techniques produce aluminum front wings without the need for seams or welds creating the look and feel of a coach-built car. Twenty-inch wheels are now standard with three styles of 21-inch wheel, a first for GTC, available as an option, reinforcing the distinctive, sporting stance of the new Bentley. The four-seater luxury convertible features a new, even more spacious and sumptuous hand-crafted cabin, with softtouch leather hides, an extensive range of wood veneers, cool-touch metals and deeppile carpets. There are 17 standard soft-touch leather hide colours with six colour split combinations, complemented by a range of seven veneers, all produced by Bentley’s talented craftsmen and women. This compelling dynamic package is combined with a more powerful 6.0-litre, twin-turbocharged W12 engine as well as a new QuickShift transmission enabling faster gear changes than ever before. Power output is raised to 567 hp and the famed Bentley “wave of torque” has been increased to 516 lb/ft.
