Thanks to all at Dent for their friendly chat & advice to a prospective Bongo owner- - when we've finished spending all our savings on this new house in Skipton. Hope Ian, who suggested our visit, recovers from his injury and repairs his Bongo soon. Lots of good advice, and a great run through t...
