Re: Identification of Parts (WL-T)

It is no more.

Fear not (yet) - I am in the process of investigating options to resurrect it, and the original pages are still stored away for re-birth.

Re: Dodgy Bristol Bongo seller - several aliases?

I've sent an email to the Bristol Post, see if the initial reporter is interested in a follow-up article.

And another one listed today.

No mention of a £250 deposit on this ad (The Toyota does) - I guess he'll just insist on it when you get in touch.

Re: Folding loo

I've got one of them. I'll have a search about, see where I bought it. Usage - it is excellent, however I have one word of caution (and I shall refrain from getting too graphic) - Make sure the bag is secured over the corners, like in that photo. Don't assume that the weight of you sitting on it wil...

Perhaps we should get over to the hiace forum and let them know?
