Ford Ranger To The Rescue

In the lead up to Round 3 of the South Australian State Motor Racing Championship Paul Abbott from AMG Racing found himself in a bit of a dilemma. His tow vehicle was creating problems. It simply just stopped working and they couldn’t find any explanation for it. Even though they had ordered some parts from Germany, it would take at least six weeks to get here and that’s only if they had the parts in stock.

Time running out and unable to solve their engine problems the AMG Racing team approached Adrian Brien Ford for assistance. Fortunately, we had the PERFECTvehicle for the job… a Ford Ranger and were able to loan it to the AMG Racing team for one week in return for some signage and promotional exposure. Check out the photo that they sent to us below.

Customer Review Of Adrian Brien Automotive By Jeff From Morphett Vale

“I bought a Hyundai ILoad from Craig Smith early August I have never got better customer service in the time I have bought cars which is quite a few in 43 years of driving. Craig and his sales team are the best in the business and would highly recommend them to anybody looking to purchase a car. Along with this I received good sound financial advice from Peter Eblem. The service department, I was looked after by Ivan who was able to get the 1st service arranged around my schedule. I must not forget Tara who arranged the tinting of the windows. In all a very high professsional sales and service team and are highly recommended. Congratulations Craig on your 15 years with the company. In will definitely be back.” – Jeff from Morphett Vale.

The All New Ford Ranger 2011, Adrian Brien Automotive, #Adelaide #Cars

When the best Ford engineering minds from around the world were given the responsibility of creating the best Ranger ever, their brief was simple. No compromise. Not only did they have to deliver a Ranger model like no other, they also had to prove it had the toughnessendurance and versatility to take on some of the harshest terrains and climates across five continents.

Semaphore Palais By The Beach

Wonderful Art Deco building from the 1920s set right on the sand at the beautiful Semaphore beach. Glass panels provide you with an unspoilt view of all the tranquil seaside bliss. It doesn’t really look like a pub and the food is more upmarket than most pubs although a bit pricey. On Friday and Saturday nights it’s also a bit of a nightclub with top 40 music. It’s worth checking out on a lovely sunny day if you’re looking to hang out at the beach and experience some awesome outdoor beachside dining. It’s a pretty nice venue for a beach themed wedding reception also. With at least two function rooms that I noticed - a ballroom upstairs and a groovy atrium surrounded by glass panels which makes you really feel like you are at the beach. The atrium would be great for cocktail style function. Being next to the beach it got pretty cold at night so be sure to bring an extra layer of clothing just in case.

Customer Review Of Adrian Brien Hyundai By Ashley From Cumberland Park

“Dear Sir,

I recently purchased an Hyundai i30 from your dealership and am writing to express my appreciation for the way in which your staff carried out the transaction.

Andrea Gehan who I dealt with was absolutely fantastic throughout the process without being pushy at all. She offered me every courtesy and service and made the entire purchase as effortless as possible. Andrea is to be commended for also fitting in with the expiration of the registration of my trade in vehicle and for keeping me informed at every stage.

I previously had a finance relationship with another company but was happy to change to your recommended financier as a result of the time and effort that Michael put in to tailoring the numbers to fit my requirements. Not only was it a painless process but it required very little effort on my part.

My brother, Chris, recommended I deal with you and purchase the vehicle and I now understand why.

Thank you.

Kind regards,

Ashley”

Cremorne Hotel Unley

Great place to go on a Friday night after work. Lots of television screens everywhere which is great if you want to catch a game of football with your mates. It was surprisingly busy, probably because of the great weather last night. There is an open area / beer garden near the main bar so there was a lot of smokers who congregated near the entrance between the beer garden and main bar. It was hard to get served at the main bar because it was so busy but I found that the bar just behind where the Kino gaming area was, was not so busy, so it was much easier to get served there. Plenty of good looking locals and people who had just finished work for the week. Although there was no dance floor that I could see so people had to create their own little dance spaces near the beer garden.

Customer Review Of Adrian Brien Automotive By Kym And Brett From Sheidow Park

“Hi Richard,

Just a quick email to thank you for all your assistance on the purchase of my Dodge Caliber. She is a dream to drive and I simply could not have chosen a better car for myself.

Your sales ‘style’ is excellent Richard, I really enjoyed dealing with you. I did not feel pressured at any time through the buying process and found you to be supporting me in my decision rather than forcing my hand. Even though you are in the business of selling cars, I loved that you took the time to have my car on the showroom floor, complete with a balloon and plaque which made the experience so exciting for me.

That was really great customer service on your part.

The car is a gem. I am so impressed that I believe I will be in contact with you in 3 years when we are ready to ‘upgrade’ for the latest dodge again.

Once again, thank you and kindest regards,”

The Snake Chalmer - Indian Restaurant - Unley

Great selection of authentic, classic Indian cuisine – goat durbari, lamb curry crepe and tandoori dishes. Freshly prepared not too spicy and not too bland. I went there tonight with a group of six. We each ordered a separate main to share with some rice and naan bread. Each dish was delicious. The service was good, no complaints but nothing really to write home about either. The atmosphere is nice, a bit chilly. The music playing in the background from what I remember was some “Crowded House” which was surprising because I was expecting some funky Indian music. The venue itself was not too loud which was great because we didn’t have to struggle to hear each other talk. Conveniently located just five minutes from the city with bus stop access and plenty of parking. Take away and delivery service is also available and I hear that they sometimes have a belly dancer although being a Monday night we didn’t get to experience that first hand.

Hyundai expects the next-generation i30 to build on the remarkable success of the current model – the company’s first car launched with the ‘i’ prefix, introducing a new nomenclature for Hyundai’s European designed vehicles and heralding a new era for Hyundai.

The i30 was also the first model to be designed and engineered in Europe, the first to be produced at the company’s state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in the Czech Republic, and the first Hyundai car to receive a five star safety rating from ANCAP.
