UBolwell uphenduka amakharavani

I-Edge iyiveni elishintshashintshayo emoyeni elenziwe ngezinto ezibunjiwe eziyinhlanganisela eklanyelwe ukwenza ngaphandle komgwaqo futhi ilungele ukudonswa into ehlangene njenge-Subaru Outback.

I-Bolwell, ephumelele emijahweni yomjaho kanye nasesiteji se-showroom esikhathini esedlule, ishintshile isuka ezimotweni zayo zezemidlalo i-V8 kanye nemizimba yamaloli akwa-Kenworth yaba isizukulwane esisha samakharavani.

I-Edge iyiveni elishintshashintshayo emoyeni elenziwe ngezinto ezibunjiwe eziyinhlanganisela eklanyelwe ukwenza ngaphandle komgwaqo futhi ilungele ukudonswa into ehlangene njenge-Subaru Outback. Lona umsebenzi kaVaughan Bolwell, umklami onolwazi kuyo yonke into kusukela emabhayisikili omjaho kuya emalolini.

I-Bolwell RV ithi iveni ihlanganisa isisindo esilula nokudonsa okuphansi nokuzinza kwe-aerodynamic. Yenziwe nge-fiberglass ebunjiwe eqiniswe nge-carbon fiber.

U-Bolwell waqala ukusebenza ku-Edge ngo-2008 futhi umphumela unenani lezinto ezintsha ezifunwayo. Umsebenzi womzimba unamathelisiwe, awubhilidi noma awubhilidi, futhi uhlanganisa ukumiswa okuzimele kwengalo elandelanayo ye-SureFoot ka-Bolwell.

I-Leisurefest yenzeka eSandown Racecourse Septhemba 30-Okthoba 3 futhi ihlanganisa inhlobonhlobo yemisebenzi, kusukela ekuqeqesheni ukudonsa umgwaqo ukuya esifundweni selayisensi yokugibela izikebhe zokungcebeleka. Kukhona nengoma engekho emgwaqeni eqhutshwa yiFour Wheel Drive Victoria.

Igama likaBolwell laqala ukuvela emigwaqeni ngeminyaka yawo-1960. Kungaleso sikhathi lapho uCampbell Bolwell oneminyaka engu-16 ubudala eqala ukuhlanganisa izimoto zezemidlalo egaraji labazali bakhe. Inkampani yakhe yaqala ngo-1962, futhi phakathi neminyaka engu-20 eyalandela, kwakhiqizwa izimoto ezingaphezu kuka-800, ezinye zazo eziphelele njenge-turnkey kanti ezinye zahlanganiswa ngabanikazi.

Edume kakhulu i-Nagari, engase ifakwe uhla lwezinjini ze-V8 futhi igijime ngempumelelo kulo lonke elase-Australia. UCampbell wanquma ukukhulula enye imoto yezemidlalo ngo-2005, futhi ngo-2008 wayenomqondo we-Nagari, owazalwa kabusha njenge-carbon fiber-bodied speedster.

Kodwa ibhizinisi elikhulu likaBolwell eminyakeni yamuva nje libe sezweni lezohwebo, lapho lenza khona yonke into kusukela kokwenza amakhumbi, ama-hoods kanye nokulungisa amaloli akwa-Kenworth kuya ekulungiseni ama-gearbox enjini ye-Boeing 737.
