Hi Hazel...I have not a clue about paint codes...so I suggest that you post on the techie section with an indication of your Bongo's colour ......we have some very knowledgible people on this forum who will give you good advice......
What is wrong with burgundy arches.....

So I wasted my money on a new umbrella then..?...
Never mind Dave ....there will be another time...we need to get the great North West motivated again......
Thanks to all who turned up...especially Dianne who came down from Cumbria...via a few car boot sales....
Fortunately the car park was big enough to accommodate everybody....
We will suggest another one soon....suggestions for venues are welcome....
...NO Dianne...not the Falkirk Wheel...it's too far for a day meet......

I spent Wednesday driving around X number of vehicle body repair shops based in Wirral that I had identified via personal recommendations, Facebook, Yell.com etc etc. The result being she is now with a longstanding, experienced one-man business, tucked away in a back street in Wallasey, Wirral. I had a budget in mind, undisclosed, and he came within it (some were way over the top), some could not accommodate the height as they only deal with saloon cars. More importantly Mr X and I discussed the ins and outs of what could be done as equals (some failed on this). If I am
with the job I will post again & will keep and 'eye out' for future NW meet-ups.
Enjoy Sunday and I hope the sun shines & brollies are not needed.
Bongo & out! Hazel, Herman & Hanz
Same here. Rust problem being dealt with. Can't wait to get along to a meet

That was probably Diamond ( Neil ) as the A49 leads to everywhere from Wigan......

Hi we were set to come until we found out it wasn't dog friendly, good job we found out before we set off.
Any future meets that are dog friendly we will try our very best to attend.

It's the visitor centre which does not allow dogs inside the centre and the viewing areas....outside of there is ok......large car park and loads of grassed areas with picnic tables.....there were dozens of dogs there of all shapes and sizes...and a lady on a narrow boat selling all sorts of doggy stuff but just for the one weekend.....she travels the canal network selling her wares at canal fairs etc....
Shame you missed it ...but keep your eyes peeled on here for future day meets......
Hope you can make the next one.....
Alan
I will be setting off around 10ish
