Bongo Fury

I've managed to train my brain to always watch out for barriers on the way into car parks with the Bongo.

However I've never put much thought into bridges. I was driving along the other day and there was a low bridge ahead, it was narrow in the middle and one of those where you have to give way to oncoming traffic, as it was clear I put my foot down and went through. On the way out I suddenly thought about how close it looked!

I looked in the rear view mirror and thought it said 2.4m - however I've just checked on Google Maps and it looks like it is 2.6m.

A quick measure of the Bongo with the roof rack and roof box on (as it was) is just over 2.5m (maybe more in the centre) - so it was much closer than I would like!

Think I will be avoiding that route from now on!

Yikes - that's a low bridge alright

Phew, very lucky.

That must have been frightening.

Ermm....why avoid it?

You're not going to tap it now cos it ain't gonna get any lower..

Have you ever noticed car transporters on the motorway? Jeez, that's close

My only thought for avoiding it is that I put my foot down to go through and it dips a little so felt like it dropped a little on the suspension!

Maybe it won't next time???


I'm sure it probably would be fine but to avoid it isn't hard, just changes which side street I come out of onto the main road.

You could go to Settings on your Satnav and tick the box that says Avoid Bongo Unfriendly Roads?
