Re: 20th - 22nd October 2017 North West Autumn Bash & Beer/Cider Festival

Yuk! latest weather forecast is that 40mph gusts of wind are expected at Silverdale next Saturday evening. Do we put the Marque up in the usual spot in the field or do we put it up in the woods for a bit of shelter. Methinks that I had better bring my old rock climbing helmet just in case, things ha...

Re: 20th - 22nd October 2017 North West Autumn Bash & Beer/Cider Festival

That's Warrens job Ady, he is a qualified career. He only got the job with me because he signed a contract that forbids him from drinking my beer an eating my Scots breakfasts. Somehow I don't think that you would be up to the job. Might change my mind if you bring your CV with you to Silverdale so ...

Re: 20th - 22nd October 2017 North West Autumn Bash & Beer/Cider Festival

An extra passenger with me. June's son has recently moved in with us again so I will be bringing him along if work does not get in the way. Looks like Addy is going to have a fight on for his Scotts breakfast. :D :D :D

Count me in Debs. A hard standing a million miles away from Ady, can't have him stealing my Scots breakfast again.

Re: Free top problems

What type of Bongo do you have? a 2.5 Turbo diesel or a petrol (V6 or 2.0), 2WD or 4WD. Manual or automatic. Quite a few Bongo owners in your neck of the woods (although I am not one of them these day). We have the occasional Bongo meet in Scotland, usually around Glencoe. I have to pass through Sti...

Re: Free top problems

Auto free tops come down in two parts. stops half way you can tuck in the roof tent if necessary. Press the switch a second time to bring the roof down fully. When I had a Bongo I always ran the engine when raising and lowering the roof to give the motors plenty of power.

Re: Allithwaite Easter Meet 13th - 17th April 2017

Good meet despite the weather. Great to see old friends again although it has been so long that I failed to put names to faces, what's new. Next time I will bring my tell rather that trust my instincts which are a bit out of sorts these days. Good to see Brian (Bongoplod) on the mend. It will not be...

Re: Allithwaite Easter Meet 13th - 17th April 2017

Definitely be there on Friday but first I have a hospital appointment at 11.20 for my 6 months check up. Seems that the Macmillan nurse has had no luck in getting the date changed for me.

Re: Brakes on all disk vehicle (only did front disks and pads)

I lost my trust in big garages and national quick service places many years ago. After a number of occasions where you only got to speak to the receptionist and my specific instructions were not passed on. The last straw was when despite giving a mechanic a Bongo club fact sheet on how to do the job...

Re: Bongo Security

Helpful or Not !!! Can be read by police helicopters and ANPR cameras. http://www.griffindesigns.co.uk/Caravan-Roof-Sticker#.WOV8guR-475 The idea I understand being that thieves can stick a false number plate over the existing number plate. But doing something about the roof, if they notice it, will...

Re: Allithwaite Easter Meet 13th - 17th April 2017

Great news to hear that you are up and running already Brian. I only heard that you had been laid low when I was at Wanlockhead. Come to think of it I was chatting to Diane at Wanlockhead about Gibraltar Farm and this years Silverdale Beer festival telling her to make sure the you would be on hand t...
