Subaru unveils the Crosstrek
Subaru's XV has evolved, with the popular, AWD compact SUV reimagined and re-christened as the Crosstrek.
SUBARU IS continuing its involvement with the Leadfoot Festival which is run at Rod Millen’s property at Hahei on the Coromandel peninsula.
To be held on Waitangi weekend from February 6-8 next year, Subaru will be providing the pace cars for the event on Millen’s 1.6 kms long driveway.
“It’s great to see the event back again in 2015,” says Wallis Dumper, managing director of Subaru of New Zealand.
“There’s a great festival atmosphere over the weekend and the changes for next year look exciting.”
Planning is underway to introduce a wider range of entertainment and activities, to make the Leadfoot Festival more attractive for families.
But the main feature will continue to be the wide variety of classic and modern, racing, rally and sports cars and motorcycles which will do timed runs over the winding uphill driveway.
“Subaru has extended its relationship with Rod and the festival. I am sure the event has a bright future,” says Dumper. “We’re excited to be involved. The event fits with Subaru. It’s a niche motorsport event and Subaru’s all wheel drive boxer-engine cars stand alone from the rest of the motor industry.”
Tickets for Leadfoot Festival went on sale September 1.
Meat co-operative, Alliance has met with a group of farmer shareholders, who oppose the sale of a controlling stake in the co-op to Irish company Dawn Meats.
Rollovers of quad bikes or ATVs towing calf milk trailers have typically prompted a Safety Alert from Safer Farms, the industry-led organisation dedicated to fostering a safer farming culture across New Zealand.
The Government has announced it has invested $8 million in lower methane dairy genetics research.
A group of Kiwi farmers are urging Alliance farmer-shareholders to vote against a deal that would see the red meat co-operative sell approximately $270 million in shares to Ireland's Dawn Meats.
In a few hundred words it's impossible to adequately describe the outstanding contribution that James Brendan Bolger made to New Zealand since he first entered politics in 1972.
Dawn Meats is set to increase its proposed investment in Alliance Group by up to $25 million following stronger than forecast year-end results by Alliance.
