Let's Do The News! (September 14, 2012)

Hey! What's that thing you have?

Uh, I just went for some eye checkup at EO

EO?

EO. Executive Optical.

Executive Optical?

Yeah. Statistics show that people aged 50 and over suffer from poor eyesight so all I have to do is get an eye checkup at the nearest EO branch.

So, you're saying is that you're getting an eye checkup at EO, right?

Yeah. I recommend everyone to visit EO. I heard that they're selling Swarovski, Judith Leiber, Vera Wang, Natori, Lulu Castagnette, Jessica Simpson, Betsey Johnson, Manish Arora, Cynthia Rowley, M. Missoni, Kensie Eyewear, Hello Kitty, Arrow, Lucky Brand, Steve Madden, Rocawear, New York Yankees, Daniel Hechter, Jones New York, Fifth Avenue, Adidas, Columbia, Speedo, Converse, and Callaway glasses.

(oohhh)

Also, EO is well known for their reliable eye care services, product variety, value pricing, and service excellence. I would gladly recommend those who love their eyes to visit their nearest Executive Optical branch. EO has 75 branches and present in key cities in the Philippines – from Metro Manila to Naga in Southern Luzon, Pampanga to Baguio in Northern Luzon, Cebu, Iloilo and Bacolod in Visayas, and Davao City and Cagayan de Oro in Mindanao.

Yeah, you would gladly recommend everyone to take a look at this...Himmel EO....

(audience laughing)

I'm sorry what?

I mean EO. E..O...Executive Optical. Sorry. He he he....

Now, if I mind, I just heard that Nissan Motor Co., Ltd is issuing a recall to all of those X-TRAIL 20GT models, the one with the M9R diesel engine on it. Affected are those built from August 20, 2008 to July 30, 2012 and the reason for this recall is simple.

Uh, what's the reason for this recall to those X-Trail diesel variants?

Here's what's written in Japanese:


1、ディーゼル車で、エンジンルーム内の遮音材固定方法が不適切なため、ブレーキ配管により遮音材がエンジン側に押され、エンジン過給器の熱により遮音材が焼損するおそれがある。

2、ディーゼル車のDPFエンジン制御コンピュータのPM除去制御が不適切なため、短時間の走行を繰り返した場合、PMが多量に堆積した状態で自動再生が行われてDPFが高温となり、DPFが破損して黒煙が排出されるおそれがある。

3、ディーゼル車の吸気ダクト強度が不足しているため、ダクト固定用のクランプ部に亀裂が発生し、吸入空気、ブローバイガスが漏れ、エンジン警告灯が点灯して加速不良に至るおそれがある。

And here's the translation... Thank you Bing translator...


1) Potentially improper insulation materials fixed method in the engine room and diesel engines for the sound insulating materials is pressed on the engine side brake pipe and sound insulating materials burned by the heat engine supercharging.

2) Due to improper DPF engine control computer of diesel PM removal control repeated the short time driving, if PM too likely AutoPlay are deposited in DPF is hot and the DPF damaged emitted black smoke.

3) Crack occurs the duct fixing clamp of diesel air intake duct strength insufficient, intake air and blow-by gas leaks, engine warning light lit, leading to accelerated bad potentially.

Uh...looks like translator's a bit rough but it serves a point. If you get a letter from Nissan, notifying that your X-TRAIL diesel's been recalled, best bet is to service it at your nearest Nissan dealer, quickly before it's too late. That's a tip to all.

Yeah, it's a tip for those who got their diesel X-TRAIL recalled.

Anyway, tonight at 8PM Manila Standard Time, a well-known boy band called The WANTED are going to perform live at the NBC Tent, Fort Bonifacio, Taguig City. I'm sure everyone got their tickets ready to see The WANTED performing live in the Philippines. Very excited...

The WANTED LIVE IN MANILA


Huh? Uh, sorry but I'm not interested to watch a concert...

Me too....

(audience laughing)

Never mind about that. Guess I shouldn't mentioned that. Moving on....

Uh, you might need to be alert right now because a Super Typhoon or what we called it a typhoon with the level of 2009's Ondoy is fast approaching. This one was called Sanba or what they called it Karen...er nope. Not that Karen we all know about. Typhoon Karen, which became the most powerful typhoon of the season, with winds ranging from 270kph are gusting within this storm as it moves...north. Category 3 when it reaches the islands of Okinawa so you might wanna watch out for those and stay safe.

I just point out that this Typhoon Sanba...

Karen...

Yeah, whatever, pointed out that it's heading to either western Japan or in the Korean peninsula but some records say that it is expected to weaken slightly before approaching Okinawa and again, it's a Category 3 storm when it reaches Okinawa so do please BE CAREFUL and if gets worse, run for your lives.

(audience laughing)

While preparing for the perfect storm to rampage western Japan and the Korean peninsula, let's move on to even more interesting news. As you may recall that a Malaysian conglomerate called Berjaya is willing to take over Mazda Philippines after Ford and Mazda gone into separate ways. Guess what? It's official. Berjaya Group officially announces Mazda distributorship in early 2013. This is good news for those.

Scoop: http://www.autoindustriya.com/auto-industry-news/berjaya-officially-announces-mazda-distributorship-in-2013.html

A good news for those but I didn't like it.

Yeah, and the new Mazda distributor for the Philippines is now Berjaya Auto Philippines, which is the new local arm of Bermaz. Mazda Philippines has saved...once again.

Yeah, Mazda Philippines is saved once again.

(audience laughing)

Anyway, we heard that the people behind the Venom GT that is Hennessey Performance, the American tuning company, created a thousand horsepower monster out of the Cadillac CTS-V, here's the pic...

Hennessey VR1200 Coupe


This is the Hennessey VR1200, a tuned version of the Cadillac CTS-V fully loaded with twin turbos that generate an astonishing 1,226BHP of power and 1,109lb-ft of torque. Hennessey says this is the most powerful four-seater saloon car and they said, it can do 0-60 in 2.9 seconds and top speed is an astonishing 242mph.


That really shocked me to look at its stats! I mean, 1200 horsepower? On a Caddy that was tuned by the makers of the famed Venom GT? That made my head spinning...

(audience laughing)

Anyway, and on that bombshell, that's the news...
