Re: Roll of Honour
Also big thanks from me, since joining I have learnt more about this vehicle than I ever would have working on it myself.

Re: Roll of Honour
Quite humbled by the mention Mike. Thank you.mikeonb4c wrote:Also, hembramacho, notable for being the only Bongo owner I know of to have fitted LPG injection to a diesel Bongo to improve fuel consumption and power output. I'd have loved to try that on mine.
LPG system still working brilliantly BTW. Reckon with the last 3 Summers having headed over to France (including 2500 mile round trip just done this Summer) and sooo many weekend camping trips away, the system has more than paid for itself, both financially and with the convenience of cheaper gas to cook with. Plus it's always good to shock the boy racers at the lights with the extra power!!
If only LPG could be as readily available in the UK as it is over the Channel.
Hopefully see you in a field soon!

Re: Roll of Honour
I have just received my new membership card and it says on it 'Life Membership'. I am as surprised by this just as much as I was to win Bongonaut of the Year. Thanks people. My new Bongo is running perfectly and we (mum and Dad too) will be going to all of the bashes next year except for the Clitheroe one as I'll be in OZ watching the F1GP and then across to NZ to do the Nevis bungee jump. My old Bongo I gave to my brother Mick who uses it to go away hill walking and says it makes a superb bird watching hide with the roof up and the screen unzipped.
Re: Roll of Honour
I forgot to add Steff Arthur (her of the coloured pullover fame) to the list of Life Members. She was Bongonaut of the Year for 2014.
And not forgetting Dave Stanworth who was Bongonaut of the Year for 2013.
We have now decided on Bongonaut of the Year for 2015 and this will be announced at the AGM at this year's Bash. I wonder who it will be?

Re: Roll of Honour
Ady is the Vanessa Redgrave of Bongonauts. It was Ms Redgrave who famously turned down a knighthood in 1999 and refused to become a Dame.

Re: Roll of Honour
Ady is really Vanessa Redgrave
Vanessa it is, then.
