Coastal Swap Meet brings old car hobbyists togetherCoastal Swap Meet

committee member Bill Trant knows how important the annual sale of items related to the old car hobby is. It’s a chance for hobbyists to meet at the Tradex Trade and Exhibition Centre in Abbotsford to network and exchange information while swapping parts, pieces and of course, old cars.

Bill Trant goes to the swap meet but he doesn’t get a chance to visit. You’ll find him in the office for the entire event after spending the whole year booking vendor stalls. Stall sales are up by 15 per cent this year for an expected total of more than 800 – making this the biggest swap meet in its 43-year history and more work for Bill Trant. He says it’s worth the time and trouble.

“You can’t get advice on restoring your car from Ebay and you can’t see the parts or cars you are buying online,“ he says. “It’s a chance for old friends to meet and new relationships to develop at one place and at one time.”

Networking kept his 1910 Buick Model 17 on the road and saved Bill Trant an enormous amount of time and money. After owning the ancient car that he bought in Redding, Ca for 21 years, the crankcase broke at the centre main bearing.

He was on a vintage car tour in Surrey last year when he suddenly heard a loud bang and the engine started to shudder. When he pulled the engine apart, he was astonished to see the aluminum crankcase had effectively

broken apart in the middle and was beyond repair.

“I panicked because you could never find a replacement engine,“ he says. Researching the problem online, he found an article by a knowledgeable Model 17 owner which said that there were only two kinds of original Model 17 Buick engines: ones that have broken and ones that are about to break.

The original castings were of very grainy weak aluminum and every one

broke because of poor metallurgy.Years before, Trant’s networking

led to a visit to a fellow Buick Model 17 owner in New Jersey. On a shelf in his basement was a brand new aluminum crankcase. The man had

Bill Trant and his rare 1910 Buick Model 17.

The rebuilt four cylinder engine re-installed in Bill Trant’s 1910 Buick Model 17 after it was rebuilt.

Starting late this June, a fleet of six new Porsche Boxsters will be travelling the Island for the inaugural Porsche Travel Club in Canada.

Over three nights and two spectacular driving days, drivers and passengers will get exclusive first-hand experience of the exceptional performance and everyday usability of the newest generation of Porsche roadsters.

The 2013 Porsche Boxster was recently unveiled at the Geneva Auto Show this March.

The Porsche Travel Club is an exclusive “first-drive” opportunity before the car’s official on-sale date in Canada, on June 30.

The tour begins on the rocky coastline of Vancouver Island, then winds through primeval forests and along the shore of pristine glacial lakes, taking in some of Canada’s best driving roads on the way to Tofino and back.

In addition to the Porsche Travel Club, Porsche Cars Canada continues to offer other exciting driving programs, including Camp4 Canada, a comprehensive winter driving program on a dedicated snow and ice driving circuit.

Porsche Canada will offer only two four-day waves of Travel Club Canada. The first wave runs from June 25 to 28 and the second wave from June 28 to July 1.

The introductory price of $3,450 per participant includes accommodations, food and fuel during the drive with the new Boxster.

For details, contact the Travel Club at travelclub@porsche.ca

wooden patterns made and a dozen replacement crankcases cast by a local foundry. He kept only one – just in case.

Bill Trant was aware that the man he had visited so many years ago had passed away so, in desperation, he looked up another Model 17 owner in the Horseless Carriage Club of America roster to enquire as to the whereabouts of the wooden patterns. By sheer luck, that owner in Shrewsbury, Mass. had acquired the original patterns for the replacement crankcase.

He offered to have an aluminum crankcase cast at a local foundry and said he would only charge $1,800. Bill Trant would have paid four times that amount. Then the enthusiast told him

about a local machinist who had the proper jigs to machine the crankcase and had done about 30 of them. He also charged $1,800.

Upon receiving the part in Vancouver, Bill Trant and brother Peter poured the babbit bearings so Vancouver’s Pacific Parts could line bore the crankcase to fit the crankshaft.

Once the engine was back together, it ran perfectly. Bill Trant demonstrated this by letting the author drive the 102-year-old Buick through Vancouver’s horsey Southlands area. The big touring car ran beautifully and was amazingly easy to drive.

The engine rebuild with the new crankcase had only cost $6,000. “Without this help, my car would be worth next to nothing,” the retired engineer says. “If my car is worth $60,000 today, it was probably worth

less than $10,000 with a broken engine. You just can’t do this type of repair without new parts.”

Bill Trant and a dozen other devoted committee members support the swap meet because it promotes the hobby and enables relationships that result in hobbyists being able to keep their vintage and classic cars on the road.

More than 5,000 people are expected to attend the swap meet at the Tradex Trade and Exhibition Centre at the Abbotsford Airport. The Coastal Swap Meet starts next Friday (May 25) from 2 to 9 p.m. Visit Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information, visit www.coastalswapmeet.com

Global automakers agree on EV fast charging

MEtRolanD MEDiaWhEEstalk.CoM

Global automakers from the United States and Germany have developed a fast-charging technology that will enable the recharging of most electrified vehicles with compatible systems in as little as 15 to 20 minutes.

Audi, BMW, Chrysler, Daimler, Ford, General Motors, Porsche and Volkswagen have agreed to support a harmonized single-port fast charging approach – called DC-fast charging with a Combined Charging System – for use on electric vehicles in Europe and the United States.

The combined charging system integrates one-phase AC-charging, fast three-phase AC-charging, DC-charging at home and ultra-fast DC-charging at public stations into one vehicle inlet.

This will allow customers to charge at most existing charging stations regardless of power source and may speed more affordable adoption of a standardized infrastructure.

The International Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) has chosen the Combined Charging System as the fast-charging methodology for a standard that incrementally extends the existing Type 1-based AC-charging.

The standard is to be officially published this summer.

The system maximizes capability for integration with future smart grid developments through common broadband communication methods regardless of the global location of the charging system.

The combined charging approach will reduce development and infrastructure complexity, improve charging reliability, reduce the total cost-of-ownership for end customers and provide low maintenance costs.

Commercially available combined charging stations are projected to be available later this year.

First vehicles using this technology will be launched to the market in 2013.

Audi, BMW, Chrysler, Daimler, Ford, General Motors, Porsche

and Volkswagen have agreed to support a harmonized single-port

fast charging approach that will be seen on vehicles as soon as 2013. INTO SPRING EVENT
