Generator Shortage

2011-02-07T17:22:00.000-08:00

There is a shortage of generators in Queensland at the moment due to the catastrophic weather conditions.

We are getting in as much stock as we can from our suppliers and are doing what we can to supply them to everyone. Those people that get in and place firm orders will also be supplied before walk in sales.

Powershed Open Day

Everything was in place, the givaways were ample, savings to be made, cars to be cleaned... and boy did they get clean.

The Powershed girls were fantastic, and clearly stole the show. I will take this opportunity to thank them again. They washed cars, drew in the customers, promoted items and generally made things a little more fun. They even tried to sell a tractor! We would also like to thank Arthur Walmsley and the crew from the Cairns & District Historic Vehicle Car Club for their efforts. They have some amazing vehicles and gave up their day for us. We even had some reps from Silvan, Hitachi, Septone and Century Batteries to name a few, who gave their time as well.

I have posted some pics from the day. I hope you enjoy them, we certainly had some fun on the day.
