Local swimmer Savaniya Williams will be South Africas fi rst Indian female diver in the South African Navy when she completes her div-ers training in Simons Town next year.

Williams, who was invited by the SA Navy to attend the pre-div-ers selection in Durban in 2010, said she believes it is her calling to be a part of the navy.

Williams has always been a water baby as both her parents are swimming instructors and hold classes at the Olympic Swimming Pool in Northdale. They put her in the water at the age of two. As the years went by she began com-petitive swimming and then social long distances such as the Kapi-tal K and Midmar Mile. I also had my brothers to keep up with, she added.

Williams, one of 47 trainees to make it through, said that everyday experiences are both physically and mentally challenging. Here, they

are said to break and make their subject, she said.

Williams, also a keen Indian classical dancer, said swimming and dancing always vied with each other in her life. As luck would have it, just before the call from the navy, she was cast in Ronnie Gov-enders latest show, Too Muckin Futch. But she isnt giving up on dancing completely. I still plan on dancing my weekends away, she said.

The closest most people come to their dreams is watching them on a 64 cm television screen. I have been given the opportunity not only to live my dream but my late broth-ers as well, which is the biggest honour for me, she said.

Being a buyer at Toyotas Head Office musthave been fun a few years ago. Whowouldnt enjoy getting an e-mail saying,Heres a couple of zillion dollars - nip out andbuy us a chunk of Subaru, please.?

Anyway, Toyotas 16,7 percent share in the otherJapanese manufacturer bore fruit with the launch ofthe jointly developed Toyota GT 86 earlier this year.The gorgeous looking Toyota version, sans the GTappellation in South Africa, fell into my sweatypalms earlier this month, and not a moment toosoon.

After driving the 86 pronounced eight-six - for

a week Im convinced that the collaboration hasproduced an instant classic in the mould of theToyota 2000 GT of 50 years ago.

Unusually for anything Toyotas had a hand in, afair amount of practicality has been sacrificed in thequest to create a real drivers car. The back seat is ajoke, the boot is taken up largely by the spare wheel,the ride is firm and the steering is precise to the pointof being twitchy. And, of course, theres rear wheeldrive.

But enough of the background stuff. Whats it liketo drive?

Well, the engineers got it right. Theyve produceda small, light car with adequate but not enormous

power that handles beautifully and demands to bebullied along a winding road while averaging lessthan 10l/100km fuel consumption.

Ive always maintained that its a lot moreenjoyable driving a slow car or bike fast than itis to drive a fast one slowly. The Toyota isnt by anymeans slow its 147kW naturally-aspirated enginehauls it up to 100km/h in 7,6 seconds, and top speedis claimed to be 226km/h for the manual version but its not blindingly quick either, so you can driveit hard without attracting too much attention, and themore aggressively you drive it, the better it feels.

The car weighs just 1,250kg, with a very low

centre of gravity and this, along with the firmsuspension and responsive steering gives it the feelof a real thoroughbred in the classic mould.

I had the six-speed auto version and would havepreferred the manual, but I still enjoyed the 86 morethan anything else Ive driven in yonks.

Think of it as a poor mans Nissan 370Z. Itcertainly qualifies for that comparison on pricebecause the Toyota will set you back just R298,500for the base model and R346,500 for the better-specced but mechanically identical High versionwith an auto gearbox. Theres also a six-speedmanual 86 High at R329,400.

Toyota 86 handles beautifully and demands to be bullied along winding roads.

This is a real drivers car with a firm ride and precise to the point steering.

Fiat Fiorino

Practically cuteBy Gavin Foster

The little Fiorino panel van that Fiat offered tome for evaluation recently didn't initially ap-pear to have much going for it in terms of fun.Being a workhorse, it lacks street cred, and the1.4-litre petrol engine in the entry-level modeloffers an uninspiring 54kW at 5,200rpm and118Nm at 2,600.

That's what I thought, anyway, until I drove thelittle van. It's surprisingly lively and entertaining tozip around the city in, thanks to its nimbleness andcompact dimensions, while being extremely prac-tical as a workhorse.

By the time I gave the test vehicle back I waspicturing it in a vibrant colour with a lowering kit,a set of alloy rims, an aircon, perhaps a per-formance exhaust, and a race-team sticker kit toshow that I still haven't really grown up.

The interior of the Fiat impressed with itsquality. The trim fitted neatly and felt classier thanthat off many passenger cars. The spec level isn'ttoo bad either. You get driver and passengerairbags, ABS brakes, cup-holders, a passenger seatthat folds away level with the floor when you needthe space for cargo, lots of stowage bins and cupholders, and a 12-voltaccessory socket.

The options list islong and includes air-con, parking sensors,load area partitions, andvarious sound systemswith or without steeringwheel controls andBluetooth functionali-t y.

Interestingly, thereare all sorts of possi-bilities for doors andwindows; the load areahas various templatesbuilt in for easy fitting.The test vehicle had noside doors at all and nowindows in the backones, so the factorysaved on the cost ofincluding an interiorm i r r o r.

Pricing of the FiatFiorino is pretty goodfor what you're getting.The petrol-engined vanretails for R129,900,and if you're a VAT ven-dor you can claim al-most R16.000 back.The 1.3-litre Multijetdiesel model seems aneven better buy with55kW at 4,000rpm andmuch healthier torqueof 190Nm at 1,500rpm.Included in the diesel'sextra R20,000 price tagis a sliding door on theleft side of the load

area.I think the little Fiat van should appeal to many

buyers because it can deliver the goods, literallyand figuratively, in much the same way that thepopular 3/4 ton pickups do for many South Africanfa m i l i e s .

There's 2.5 cubic metres of stowage space, and itcan easily handle items that wouldn't fit into a 3/4ton bakkie with a canopy. It comes with a three-year 100,000km warranty and an optional serviceplan is available.

The Fiorino is suprisingly lively and entertaining to zip around in.Pic by Gavin Foster.

GWM unveils new H6 in Durban

New Model

The GWM H6 unveiled at the Durban MotorShow. Pic by James Siddall.

GWM had an impactful pres-ence at the recent DurbanMotor Show in November,introducing its brand new H6 SUVto the public for the first time.

Hailed South Africas most suc-cessful regional motor exhibition, thefirst Durban Motor Show took place 20years ago. KZN residents are devel-oping a growing appetite for motorentertainment, as the relocation of theTop Gear show from Johannesburg toDurban testifies.

As such, the Durban Motor Show

provides an effective and popular plat-form for motor manufactures to show-case their latest vehicle ranges andinteract with the public each year andGWM is no exception.

GWM Gateway, the latest deal-ership to join GWMs network of 78,welcomed visitors to the visually strik-ing red and white GWM exhibitionstand. Apart from well-knownfavourites like the Steed 5 pick-uprange, H5 SUV and the newlylaunched C10 compact hatch, showvisitors feasted their eyes on the newH6 SUV.

This newcomer was Chinas best-selling SUV in September 2012. If theSouth African publics response isanything to go by, the H6 promises tobe a worthy addition to the GWMvehicle range.

Design-wise, the H6 boasts refinedlines and sportier contours, making it ahighly attractive alternative for bothmale and female SUV connoisseurs.Comfort and safety features abound,and visitors were delighted by its superspacious boot and luxurious interior.The GWM H6 will be available atGWM dealerships early in 2013.

Tony Pinfold, Chairman of GWMSouth Africa, says: Every oppor-tunity to interact with existing andpotential GWM customers gives usgreat insight into our market. Needlessto say, we find events like the DurbanMotor Show highly valuable brandbuilding exercises.

Seeing the publics increasinglypositive response to our affordablequality proposition, and new vehicleslike the H6 in particular, makes us evenmore determined to exceed their ex-p e c t a t i o n s .

In 2013, GWM will celebrate itssixth year in South Africa and isplanning more new vehicle launches tomark the occasion.

MY MARRIAGE WAS SAVED

thanks to SHERI

SHASHI - 38 Chase ValleyI was referred to Sheri by a priest after trying so many people who were not able to help. My husband had left me for another woman after 12 years of marriage. Sheri charged me R100 to read my fortune. She prayed for me and soon afterwards my husband

called me and we renewed our vows again after I was help by Sheri.

There is no way I can thank her other than telling the whole world about her.

SUCCESS STORY


NEWS26

Two mothers of the Tamil culture and language were hon-oured at the Karthigai Deepam celebrations of the Northdale Siva Nyana Sabha (NSNS) at the A.S.Pillay Hall on Tues-day night when they were pre-sented with mementos of Lord Shiva in recognition of their immense contributions. Mak-ing the presentation was Sri Vijay Segran Phillips chair-man of the NSNS. Tamils all over the world celebrated the

important festival this week. Karthigai Deepam is the

lighting of lamps on the Krit-tika or Kartika Nakshataram day in Tamil Nadu and Ker-ala in Karthigai month. There are several reasons or stories behind observing Karthigai Dee-pam. A popular belief is that the day is the birthday of Lord Muruga. The lamps are also lit for a happy married life and for the well being of children in the family.
