AFTER almost 11 years of very happy Bongownership, I have decided that its time to part company with my much-loved Bongo (shortly to be appearing on a For Sale page near you, but that's for another part of the website !).

I thought I would share a few statistics :

since June 2005 :
driven 59900 ...

Actually ... I live in Cape Town, work in Douala, and the Bongo lives permanently at my folks' place in Gawcott ! Needless to say it does not get used much

I have the same problem with my Garmin Nuvi 350 (which I've had for about 18 months now). It works fine most of the time but now and again loses power ... I'm quite sure its a dodgy connection. I don't use anything else in the dashboard 12v supply so I can't confirm this. A bit of jiggling usually ...
