Height resriction
Hi
We don't collect our new bongo until Saturday. In the event that I need to use it for work, there is a height resriction barrier at 7' 7" on our carpark. The bongo is a new style aft. I don't want to risk it and either take the top off or get stuck. Will I fit or not?
Thanks

Re: Height resriction
Should be ok, that's about 2.3m high & the AFT is @2.1m, but I'd stop & check just to make sure they've measured it right.

Re: Height resriction
Expect he had to Wafer some help, hope it didn't cost hundreds & thousands to fix.

I didn't expect to whip up quite so many flakey puns so quickly.
Will we manage to reach 99 posts?

Was there a McFlurry of activity to free him quickly?

It's about time this thread was split before somebody gets crushed nuts.
Re: Height resriction
To bring this thread back on topic...
With height restricted entrances / bars etc. you need to be careful, the van may fit under the bar comfortably as you first drive in, but if the ground rises too quickly on the other side you will catch the middle - if you follow.
I am speaking from experience...
There is a car park in Lancaster behind The Sugar House student night club (which I spent way too much time in as a youth, and met my wife there!!) it has a bar which a standard height Bongo (i.e. not lowered, or big tyres) will fit comfortably under until a quarter of the way under, then the front tyres hit the rising ground and you scrape your AFT!!
Have backed off other height restricted entrances following this experience.
