Special Feature: Real Adventure Riding Club ATV Outings, A Great Way to Enjoy Nature
Everywhere my eyes wandered in Keserwan’s cliffs to vigorous
pine forests and scenic views near the lake. Our ATV riding group wanted to
experience a mountain adventure in Achkout, Feytroun and Wata El Joz. Before
embarking on our ATV ride, though, we contacted Real Adventure ATV riding club,
the Off-Road Riders, to guide us through the territory. The ATV route system in
this area is a little puzzling. So the guides accompanied us for the whole
journey.

Test Drive: Chevrolet Cruze, Preserving Chevy’s Immortal Vision
Towards the middle of last year, the world saw an
unprecedented rise in oil prices. People that were financially comfortable
driving large gas guzzling off roaders were caught out, and saw the urgent need
to downsize. Although this crisis affected the whole world it was particularly
harmful on US auto sales as large numbers of people prefer big thirsty SUV’s
and pick ups. As the market headed towards downsizing-Fast-GM saw that it was
severely lacking in that market segment. The Cruze was already on the table as
a future product but it was at least 2 years away.
What is currently happening to GM is only a product of years
of neglect to smaller fuel efficient cars, and Chevrolet’s primary weapon to
fight the recession and come out safe and sound is the all new Cruze, GM’s
first truly global model, and a product that unfortunately is a little late,
but is miles ahead of mid-sized Chevy’s of the past even though it’s currently
being built in Korea, at GM Daewoo, GM’s Korean outfit.

Test Drive: BMW 135i Convertible, A New Age Classic
BMW new 1 Series is the divine descendant to the company’s
iconic 2002 model. You recognize that one of course, don’t you? The
"1" is a rebirth of species, a compact, basic "three-box"
design that gets you back to the original sport sedan, BMW's 2002, which was
produced from the late 1960s to the mid-'70s has helped to put the small
Bavarian company on the worldwide map.
Certainly, the new 1 Series and its twin-turbocharged 135i
are light-years ahead of the old 2002 in terms of luxury features and raw
power, but the spirit of a relatively tiny, agile and extremely communicative
road car remains. For the 135i, power comes from the 300 hp twin-turbo engine
and offers that seductive BMW flavor that so many buyers yearn for.
