Re: NEW MEMBERS! Please add your details HERE!
Hi I am new. R reg silver bongo from coastal devon goes by the name of bingo bongo. Mainly used for the odd night away due to work commitments but daughter starts school this year so can't ever afford to go abroad again and want to explore the UK. I used to bivvy up a lot but hubby hasn't camped since scouts. Had first bongo related row putting up awning in garden! Haven't driven a vehicle this big since my manky Citroen bx 18 yrs ago so don't be offended if I don't wave back I will be gripping the steering wheel and concentrating a lot!!

Warm welcome Les. Don't mind Bob - he's a one man rabble But seriously, with apologies to Bob who is a best buddy, one of the great things with Bongos is the get togethers. Lots of kindred spirits down your way so get out and enjoy. I retire this year and hope to travel the UK in the Bongo, which i've had for 10 years and still love driving it - nothing else compares for cruising with character.

No need to apologise Mike, I'd say that was a compliment.
