Bongo Fury

Hi All
Seriously considering a Bongo, I’ve being doing the usual research and trying to familiarise myself with the various specs and configurations, but it’s quite daunting trying to work out which of the seemingly limitless combination of specs and layouts is the right one.
What I need is to have a look at various cars and pick the brains of owners in order to determine what I should be looking for. It deffinenatly needs the lifting roof as the plan is to use it to get away with the family as much as poss in the summer but as for the rest 4x4, diesel or petrol, level of camperification ( new word??) how much to spend , well that’s where I need input from experienced Bongo owners .
So is there any meets /mini meets in the West Yorks area (I’m based in Ossett nr Wakefield) but I don’t mind a drive out and it would be interesting to see a few Bongos together and get a feel for what’s normal and what’s possible, and of course meet some owners.

hey budd, welcome not too far away from me, I live in liversedge near heckmondwike.

Acouple of bongos round here and on the forum, we do have meets next ones up at the hill of oaks windermere, or theres the york bash, nothing close as of yet but you can always pop down here some time and have a natter and a brew, get a couple of other bongos down and we can subject you to a bongo lecture

I am going to the santa pod meet on friday till monday so if you want to pop down sometime after that we can sort sumat out.

Cheers Wayne

Welcome to the Club. Budd.

Welcome budd and Happy Bongo hunting. Loads of advice on here (have a search) plus members support is outstanding. Just ask away

thanks for the warm welcome to the forum, the world of Bongo seems a friendly one indeed .
Also cheers for the offer Wayne, that sounds a perfect introduction and exactly the type of thing that will help me make a informed choice, We're away to the Isle of Man on Sat for 10 days so I'll drop you a line when we get back see if we can sort something out. Thanks again.

Hi and welcome from us. We'd be happy to pop along to "Waycars World" if you can't make Windermere.

Hello I'm in Wakefield - but my bongo is not converted in any way, used to kip in it by myself, but now I've got a family I'm going to use it to tow a tin snail This I think means I'm getting older
