When it comes to making a great tasting Nelson wine few are better than Waimea Estates.
The Bolitho family have owned and operated the Waimea Estates since 1993, when Trevor and Robyn Bolitho first planted grapes on the Waimea Plains.
Today, the business is run by a dedicated team of professionals headed by Trevor and son Ben, who since 2005 has been the Waimea's Viticulturalist.
Like the Bowater Motor Group they are a family based business with a large and committed focus on the Nelson / Tasman region. You will often see the Waimea Estates flag at many a local event, and their wine on many a local dining table, picnic blanket or BBQ bench.
Waimea Estates are very passionate and professional when it comes to wine making. They are consistently winning award after award, and place quality in high regard. They tend to like to do things properly, so when it came time to purchase a new car for the business they came to Bowater Toyota. They have been proud owners of Toyota's for many years, and recently they just added another one to their stable, this time a Toyota Yaris for their Nelson Sales Rep Chris McCarthy.

The BMG 86 sets the pace at the Port Nelson Street Races
When it comes to sending a car around the track as a part of the annual Port Nelson Street Races, Nelson Road Racing Association president Nick Marer called upon Bowater Toyota with only one car in mind.
That car, is of course the Toyota 86. The perfect car for the job.
Nick was on the hunt for the Official Pace Car for the annual 2013 Port Nelson Street Races. This street race is an iconic street circuit motorcycle race, held in Nelson since 1992, and featuring multiple classes of racing, culminating in the King of the Port Race - always a hotly contested event.
We jumped at the chance to get the Toyota 86 into it's "natural" environment, an official "closed road" track where it could stretch it's legs unhindered and without breaking any laws!
The chance to get trackside does not happen that often in Nelson. Normally those wanting to get some track day action have to travel a long way to satisfy that urge, or just resign themselves that it is not a reality, and just the dreams of car crazy young boys.
The Toyota 86 has changed all of that. Finally a car has come onto the market that is not only remarkably priced at just $41,986, but has actually been designed for those wanting to enjoy a perfectly respectable, everyday car 90% of the time, but also experience the thrills of Track Days if the opportunity arises.
All this being said, the 2013 Port Nelson Street Race gave us the perfect opportunity to show the motor racing fans of Nelson the new face of the performance side of Toyota.

There is no going back. Another banned 86 TV Commercial
The Toyota 86 is a great car. It has been winning car of the year awards all over the world, and getting rave reviews from the likes of Jeremy Clarkson from Top Gear who named it his car of the year for 2012. Not to shabby.
As well as all of the accolades there have also been a whole bunch of mind blowing TV and internet commercials to match the excitement, as well as to build it.
Some of these commercials have been spectacles of cinematography, some have been over the top special effects laden epics, and some have been very cheeky. Scroll through this section and you will discover some of them. Keep coming back to this section as we keep adding more as we discover them.
This next commercial comes from Britain where it was shown then banned, supposedly for encouraging "spirited driving".......
