Bowater Honda helps us all get Free Parking

Bowater Honda has provided Uniquely Nelson, the city's retail promotion organisation, with the use of a new Honda City this winter as we kick off the Free Parking promotion.

That's right folks, it is FREE PARKING in Nelson each and every Tuesday from the 24th July until Tuesday 4th September.

Chris Bowater is right behind the promotion and was more than happy to get a car sorted from Bowater Honda for the winter promotion. We can all use a break over the harder winter months, so a day of free parking is sure to put a smile on everyone's face!

A worthy successor for Hyundai's best seller, the new i30

hyundai i30

Hyundai New Zealand has launched the new-generation i30; a vehicle the company expects will build on the success of the original model thanks to an all new European design.

Hyundai General Manager Andy Sinclair says the i30 is the company’s best-selling and most awarded model globally and the new-generation i30 really ups the ante against its Europeans rivals.

“The i30 is designed and engineered at Hyundai Motor Europe’s Technical Design Centre in Russelsheim, Germany, and built at our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Namyang, South Korea,” he says.

“This car changes the game in value in the small car market. It’s going to be a hit with Kiwis. It really pushes the envelope on design, technology and efficient performance.

Nelson has got heaps of talent as large numbers make the 2nd round of NZGT

This is not a huge surprise to discover that Nelson and the top of the south really has got a whole lot of talent.
The Toyota Talent Tour rolled through Bowater Toyota in May this year, and we got a sneak peek of some of the talent that was trying out the next day at the New Zealand's Got Talent auditions.
Overall we were blown away by the acts, and made a couple of videos, you can check them out in the links under "you might also like this....." in the menus to the right.

 It was no surprise then for us to read in the Nelson Mail today about the large volume of Nelson act's going through to the second round filmed in front of a live studio audience in Wellington in a couple of weeks time.

As it turns out they were very successful on the whole, as the following article posted on the Nelson Mail website testifies...
