"We offer superior quality, for the best price," said Nurse of her franchise. She said the imports range in price from $10,800 to $20,500, and aim toward the 25-40 age group. Nurse launched the event by at- tempting to break a. bottle of cham- pagne on the fender of one of the Isuzu imports, butý without luck. Mayor- Bob Attersley stepped in to Iend a hand, and was successful on his first attempt. A first (un)lofficial Whitby Mini Baja 10000 road test was held on the site. Media representatives from newspapers, radio and television were amnong the participants. They had the opportunity to manoeuvre the Isuzi Trooper II through the designated course, at the wave of Nurse's checkered flag. "World class frisbees for a world class team," said Nurse as she threw frisbees to the winners. Nurse received her training at. Nurse Chevrolet Oldsmobile Ltd. in Whitby, where she worked in every departmnent. At present, she has three staff in her dealership. *Brian Hare is general sales manager, Janet Coulter ad- ministrative assistant and Kevin O'Neil service technician. Nurse said there will eventually be 130 import dealerships across Canada. Nurse said about 29 per cent of the population does not want. domestic cars, and that her new dealership will cater to that type of consumer. Nurse said Passport Oshawa/Whitby sold its first car, the 1 Mark Turbo, on the very first day of business to Linda Lefebvre of Toronto. Michael Johnston, directar of import operations at General Motors, said a group of 12 import dealers were selected at the same time and there are now three dealerships "up and running."

Being the home of General Motors, it would be inappropriate if we didn't have an import dealership," said John- ston. Johnston said the Optima,a Ger- man-designed car, built in Korea, will join the franchise in the fail. They will* also have Isuzu pick-up trucks in the spring. The Isuzu is a Japanese product, in which GM has 35 per cent equity. "lIt's signifiant that Anne would take on this dealership. She cer- tainly is indicative of the new, young, responsible dealer. We're glad ta have her," said Johnston. Nurse will be offering a 1987 Trooper 2, 4-by-4 multipurpose wagon as the prize for a hole-in-one at this year's Casey's Golf tour- nament. The sixth annual tournament will be held on Wednesday, June 17 at Kedron' Delis Golf course in Oshawa. The Trooper 2 goes to the person who can bag a hole-in-one at the lBth hole.
