Hi All,

Just a quick hello! I picked up my first ever Bongo today. What an amazing vehicle this is. I've been casually thinking about it for over a year, then a major tipping point (an Event Horizon in many ways) occurred 2 weeks ago when my daughter mentioned glibly that it would be "nice to have a campervan...". Well that was it, not wanting to fail as a Father I took matters into my own hands and hunted down the perfect van.

It's an Aero with a pop top and conversion. I've now got 2 kids who are at excitement level 11 right now.

Next week I shall point "Dobby" North and see what Robin Hoods Bay is all about.

Cheers!

Very warm welcome to you, Dobby, and your family. :D
Take a torch, toilet roll, and tea bags.
