It's really a shame that the Nissan Patrol wasn't sold in America after 1969—at least, technically. These Jeep-like vehicles were first offered by Nissan in 1951 and have continued to be very capable and po[CENSORED]r vehicles across the globe through to today's sixth-generation. Unfortunately, the U.S. missed out after 1969, so it's considered a very rare Nissan in the States. Fortunately, one is coming up for sale at the 2023 Mecum Auctions Kissimmee on January 4-15, 2023. The first generation of the Nissan Patrol was built in 1951 and called the 4W60. It looked very much like a Willys Jeep, and much of it was copied from the Willys CJ-3B, including its iconic flat front fenders. It was only sold through Nissan's Japanese dealerships with the 3.7 liter NAK I-6 engine, the same one used in its 290 bus. Just like the Willys, it featured a part-time 4WD drivetrain and four-speed manual transmission. It would eventually spawn a two-door pickup and fire truck versions, but there was also the Nissan Carrier known as the 4W70 that was based off a Dodge M37 chassis and using the 4W60 engine and drivetrain. Both it and the 4W65, now named the Patrol, would eventually use a version of the Nissan P engine that would be found in the next-generation Patrol, the 60 Series. The 60 Series began production in 1959 for Australia with the 86.6-inch short wheelbase (SWB, 60) and the 98.4-inch long wheelbase (LWB, G60) and as right-hand drives. LHD models sold outside of the country, like ones sold in North America, were designated L60 and GL60 but were otherwise similar in design and powertrains. Unfortunately for North America—specifically Canada and the U.S.—the Nissan Patrol was only available from 1962 through 1969, but that did include the KGL60 hardtop that was offered in 1963. Although they were sold by Datsun dealerships, the Patrols were branded under the Nissan name, making them (along with 100 1960s Nissan Cedrics) the first models sold under the Nissan banner until the 1980s. There was also a super-long-wheelbase version known as the H60, which was 110.2 inches long. Under the hood of these Patrols was the Nissan P40, a 123- to 143-hp 4.0-liter I-6 engine mated to either a three- or four-speed manual transmission with a part-time 4WD that operated each axle independently. The engine wasn't anything special, being a cast-iron block and head with bathtub-shaped combustion chambers, but it was used until 2003, most recently in the Spanish-market version of the Patrol known as the 260 Series, which was based off the third-generation 160 Series. There was also a version made just for fire-fighting trucks like the 1962 to 1966 FR40, the PF. The changes included using a better alternator and engine block heater, among other improvements.

Christmas spirit is back in Nainital, Mussoorie and other tourist spots in Uttarakhand. Hotels and guesthouses are almost booked and eateries along lakes and parks decked up for the festival season. For the tourism industry, this year marks the return of business as usual with Covid restrictions such as hotels and restaurants opening at half seating capacity and social distancing that were in force, now lifted. While the Mall Road in Nainital has been lit up and speakers set up along the street for revellers, forest rest houses and bungalows at the Jim Corbett and the Rajaji tiger reserves, promise a quieter retreat for those planning to visit the state for Christmas-New Year. Tourism is central to the state’s economy and it was impacted by the pandemic, but with easing of restrictions in view of declining cases, it is expected that this year will end on a positive note, people associated with the tourism and hotel industry said. “The Mall Road in Nainital is lit up and speakers have been installed all over the place,” Nainital Hotel Association president Digvijay Singh said. Music will be played from 6 pm to 10 pm every evening as part of festivities. “We have also sought the permission of authorities to play music till 12 am on December 31,” Singh said. Some hotelliers in Nainital, who have offered up to 50 per cent discount on room reservations, said bookings are almost full for New Year’s eve. Mussoorie is also awaiting a large number of visitors during the week with hotels and guest houses nearly full, the Tourism Information Centre said. Similarly, forest rest houses and bungalows at the Corbett and the Rajaji tiger reserves are seeing a rush of guests for Christmas and New Year eve. Day and night safaris at the Jim Corbett National Park are also booked, its director Dhiraj Pandey told PTI. Rajaji Tiger Reserve director Saket Badola said here too bungalows of are full. Considering the number of bookings vigilance and patrolling in the area has also been stepped up, he said. People are enquiring about the availability of rooms at private resorts around the Corbett Tiger Reserve but the number of bookings for Christmas so far has been less. But for New Year eve the response has been massive, Hotel and Resort Owners Welfare Association president Hari Singh Mann said. In Nainital, Naresh Gupta, manager at Manu Maharani Hotel, said bookings for December 31 are full and that for Christmas is increasing. The owners of Moksham Glamping Resort, located around 25 kms from Nainital, said several arrangements have been made for Christmas-New Year. Since the resort is located in a remote area away from the bustle of Nainital, people besides the in-house entertainment, also enjoy the scenic beauty and serenity of the place, Ankit Karki and Yashika Bisht said. Hotels and lodges in the Muni-ki-Reti and the Lakshman Jhula areas of Rishikesh are also booked for the upcoming week. However, Ramnagar Gipsy Owners Welfare Committee president Girish Dhasmana said the number of tourists coming without advance planning this year is negligible. Reduction in the number of gipsies entering the Sitabani forest area from 150 to 50 has caused losses to the trade, Dhasmana said. There are no bookings for Christmas as such in Rishikesh but for New Year eve bookings are full, Lakshman Jhula Resort and Hotel Welfare Association president Dipak Bisht said. Hotels and resorts in Rishikesh are likely to bustle with tourists from December 24 to January 2, vice president of the Indian Association of Rafting Outfitters Prateek Kalia said. In Auli, Garhwal Mandal Vikas Nigam manager Kamal Kishore Dimri said hotels and guest houses at the international skiing destination in Chamoli district are full from December 24 to January 1. Former president of the BJP’s hotel and resort cell Chandraveer Pokhriyal said a brisk Covid-free tourism is going on. Hotels are all packed for the new year eve celebrations, he said.

Moto E13 smartphone from Motorola has reportedly been subjected to a render leak that seems to suggest the upcoming entry-level smartphone's basic design and camera details. The smartphone, which was earlier tipped to be powered by an Unisoc T606 SoC while running on Android 13 out-of-the-box, has now reportedly been spotted in a beige colour offering that sports a curved rear panel. Meanwhile, in terms of camera, the rear setup seems to be made of a single camera sensor. According to a report by Mysmartprice, the purported upcoming Moto E13 entry-level smartphone device has been spotted in an alleged official render sporting a beige colour plastic frame. The rear side, which is apparently curved in shape, is seen housing a single camera module above a slot for an LED flash inside a second cutout. The traditional Motorola batwing logo can be seen at the center of the rear panel. In terms of connectivity, the phone seems to sport a USB type-C port on the bottom, alongside a speaker grille and a microphone cutout. The render seems to suggest that the Moto E13 will sport a rather flat frame that houses the power and volume toggle buttons on its right side. The display on the Moto E13 seems to be a waterdrop notch design with bezels that are narrow around the screen but seems to get very thick at the chin of the purported smartphone. The Lenovo-owned smartphone manufacturer Motorola's purported E-series phone, Moto E13, had earlier been spotted on Geekbench website, which suggested that the entry-level smartphone could be powered by an octa-core processor paired with 2GB of RAM, while running on Android 13 out-of-the-box. The octa-core processor was spotted as an Arm chipset codenamed m170, which could be the Unisoc T606 SoC. In terms of processor performance, it reportedly scored 318 in the single-core test while scoring 995 points in multi-core Geekbench tests. However, it is important to note that there has been no official confirmation on the name, specifications, pricing, or launch details of the purported entry-level smartphone from the Lenovo-owned smartphone manufacturer, Motorola. 5G is now available both on Android and iPhone in India. But is it any good? We discuss this on Orbital, the Gadgets 360 podcast. Orbital is available on Spotify, Gaana, JioSaavn, Google Podcasts, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music and wherever you get your podcasts.
