As Kiwis make the most of the Easter break - and the continuing daylight savings - our roads will be busy as we head out of town to the beach, bach, camp ground and the bush.
But before you stockpile your hot cross buns and Easter eggs, make sure that both your vehicle and you are ready for the driving you'll be doing next weekend.
Ian Loftus, Jayne Collier & our new sales cadet Toby Bowden with the 3 new RAV4 demonstrator models.
After quite a wait, and an amazing response overseas, it is finally our turn to get our hands on the all new generation Toyota RAV4.
This morning the first order of business was getting the new RAV4's out and about with a very busy morning of pre-booked test drives. With all of the noise on the internet, the Americans going all out with their RAV4 Genie Super Bowl campaign, and youtube being full of RAV4 previews, there has been intense interest in this release.

Garin College is a very busy place. They are a local Richmond Catholic secondary school integrated into the New Zealand State School system, for day students and boarders. They offer a high a high quality education to locals and student boarders from the top of the south, as well as some international students. The hostel cares for 56 students, and as such has got specific needs when it comes to providing a well rounded education, with extra-curricular, out of school hours activities being a high priority. As Garin College's Boarding Manager Robert Booth said to us when they came to pick up their new school van, "A busy boarder is a happy boarder!"
A busy boarder is also a boarder that often needs to be moved from activity to activity in a safe and timely manner. Not to mention the logistics of moving a school of 434 students around to various local events and out of town exchanges.
Towards the end of last year a decision was made to begin upgrading some of the schools fleet of 3 Toyota Mini-vans. Bowater Toyota were more than happy to help Garin College in what ever way they could. Encouraging our youth to drive their dreams is not about getting kids into cars, it is about facilitating youth development wherever we can, and hopefully being a part of enabling the youth of our area to excell and succeed. .

If so then we really want to talk with you.
Bowater Toyota are looking for a couple of motivated and opportunity driven people to join our Sales Team. We think we have got some very exciting reasons why we may be able to entice you into a career you may not have considered before.
