It was all go last night as the lights got switched on for the first time and we took our first official photos of the new Achilles Avenue Bowater Honda showroom.

It was a beautiful evening with the threat of a few showers, but that didn't stop us as we were too excited to move some cars in and switch on the lights.
The aim was to get a photo that we could use in our coming promotions and to start letting the good people of Nelson and Tasman know that we are officially on the move now that the lights are going to be on.

The new showroom looks absolutely stunning, and the new lighting system is going to do an excellent job of shining a light on the great range of vehicles the we are selling through the dealership. The official move in date is Monday 6th January 2014 - come on down and take a look for yourself.

Andrew Board from the Nelson Weekly takes a photo for the paper of Ned & Mina (owners of Proper Crisps), Steve Phipps and Tony Bowater (CEO Bowater Toyota).

In the last week of November a casual stroll around the Richmond Mall whilst his wife shopped has certainly been a propertunity worth it's weight in crisps for local man Steve Phipps of Richmond.

Steve correctly guessed the number of Proper Crisp packets packed perfectly into the brand new Toyota Prado. And by correctly he guessed the actual number, 736.

Many came within 5 bags, and given the thousands of entries we had over the week it was fantastic to have a clear and absolute winner!. A Proper winner if you will.

For Steve's trouble he has won a month's supply of Proper Crisps, and a couple of car grooms from the team at Bowater Toyota to get all those crisp crumbs out of the back seats once the grandkids have been in the car munching on Proper Crisps over the holidays.
