A word from the
Dealer Principal



Hello and welcome to our June edition and a special welcome to our new subscribers.

Well 2009 is marching on and we are almost half way through – where has the time gone?

Isn’t it wonderful to have the press report on more positive news and fantastic that Australia officially is not in a recession despite all the negative press?

We have seen a great deal of consumer confidence in the last six months and have never doubted things were not as bad as reported.

June sales are looking very strong, brought on by the government’s 50% tax break for small businesses. If you are in business and contemplating changing over your vehicle(s) you should seriously consider an acquisition at this time. Talk to your tax advisor to see if you are eligible.

We trust you will enjoy this month’s issue. Thanks for all of the positive feedback. Happy and safe motoring.

Andrew Brown,
Dealer Principal

FORD FOR LIFE
There’s little other proof needed that the Ford Ute is one tough machine after five people escaped death in a freak head-on accident which saw a plane hit a four-wheel drive Ford Ute.

 

With three people inside the Ute, the light aircraft which had just taken off from a South African runway plunged from the sky, crashed into the Ute and burst into flames.

Photos of the disaster amazingly show the plane demolished and burning while the Ford Ute suffered only damage to the engine bay.

The driver of the Ute, Ms Vaulina, said she was lucky the vehicle was sturdy. Now that's an understatement if ever you heard one!

HAPPY DAYS HYUNDAI
It’s smiles all round at Hyundai right now as they report a 25% rise in sales in South Australia.

 

Their success could be credited to the i30 hatch and wagon which has received praise country-wide.

It could also be down to the numerous awards heaped on the i30, the Getz and the iLoad.

Or maybe Hyundai’s success is down to the sheer value for money they offer on their entire range.

To test drive the i30 give us a call today!

The timeless elegance and refined comfort of the 300C and the genuine Jeep brand DNA present in the Cherokee are reason enough to drop into Adrian Brien to test drive these two kings of the road.

PEAR AND RHUBARB CRUMBLE WITH ALMOND AND OAT TOPPING


INGREDIENTS

4 pears, peeled, cored, sliced
1/2 cup (110g) caster sugar
juice of 1 lemon
500g packet frozen rhubarb pieces
1 cup (90g) rolled oats
1/2 cup (110g) brown sugar
50g butter, melted
1/3 cup (25g) flaked almonds
ice-cream, to serve
  

METHOD

1. Preheat oven to 180C or 160C fan. Grease a 6-cup ovenproof dish.

2. Cook pear, caster sugar and lemon juice in a large saucepan on medium heat for 4-5 minutes, stirring, until tender. Add rhubarb and cook another 3-4 minutes, until soft but still holds its shape.

3. Remove fruit from syrup with a slotted spoon and transfer to prepared dish. Taste and check for sweetness, sprinkling with a little extra sugar if needed.

4. Meanwhile, combine oats, brown sugar, butter and almonds in a bowl. Sprinkle over fruit and bake for 30 minutes, until golden and bubbling. Serve with ice-cream.

Tip: Save the syrup from the fruit and store in an airtight container in the fridge. It will keep for several weeks and you can use it to poach fruit for another occasion.
