Re: Remote viewing of Bongos

Hello again! Another day, another question :D As Bongos are being put up for sale all over the UK (and could be a long distance from potential buyers), are there any savvy Bongonauts able to go and look over a vehicle and offer their advice on if its a good buy or not? I suspect that the AA or RAC ...

Re: roll call for Yorkshire and North East

Prospective Bongo owner in Sheffield (hello!)
Still very much looking and learning about the Bongo and what to look for (and what to avoid) when buying.

Re: Oh look, it's another Newbie!

If you are after a camper converted Bongo but unsure what you want and are not in a hurry to get one then it could be a good idea to get along to a Bongo meet/rally. There you will usually be able to see different conversions and have a good chat with owners who will tell you the good and bad point...

Thanks Geoff and Tessie! I should perhaps have said that I'm used to the woes of running old air-cooled VWs rather than repairing them! I managed the usual engine tinkering but big repairs were beyond me (even with the Muir manual). I'm glad you described Bongos as "old technology" as I ca...

Oh look, it's another Newbie!

Greetings Bongonauts and Friendee aficionados. I'm new round these parts and yes, I'm in the mood for a Mazda (Bongo). I was heavily involved in the VW scene in the 90s and early 00s and whilst I'm used to the rounds of maintenance and repair associated with older cars, I'm wondering how many of the...
