Beware of this "Win a Free Toyota' hoax!
Hi folks!
As much as we would love to be giving away free cars ... at the present time we are not.
There is a text and a Whats App message doing the rounds that suggests you could be in to win a free Toyota once you follow the link and fill out some details. This is a hoax! The page you get sent to ... screenshot below ... is nothing to do with either Papakura Toyota or Toyota New Zealand.
As a good rule of thumb, and with our Internet Aunty hat firmly on, unless you know the message is legit, best not to click on any links and certainly don't fill out your details.
Cheers to all our customers who have brought this to our attention!

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
