Hello new members! Welcome! :D Please say hello, tell us about your Bongo/Freda.

I see lots of Bongos on my travels in these two counties, but not much response on this site. So how about a sound off from Bongo owners here in the far Southwest.
I'll start, Burgandy/Silver N739 XOD

Blimey, bit quiet in 'ere.

Just got my second Bongo after a couple of years of absence, give me a wave if you see me around Bodmon/Cormwall. Plain white AFT with increasingly chrome blingy bits being added!

Hi Folks, yep it's been very quite on this part of the forum. Where have all the bongoleers gone?. I went to a meet at Dawlish and was encouraged by the turnout. I believe the guy who organised it is planning another meet for sometime towards the end of March. Keep an eye on facebook and look jn the Devon Bongo Owners section.
Here's looking forward to meeting up with old faces and hopefully a few newbies this year of 2016.

Still here and of course a warm welcome to our new members. Bongo has just passed its MOT and we are in our 12th year of ownership of the same Bongo! :D

Need to get to more day meets though.

Hi, have a good look at conversions in other bongos before deciding. Are you coming to the Bash in 2 weeks? There will be plenty to look at/grill the owners (not literally!)

Hi folks, welcome to all you newbies I hope you have long and rust free future. Watch out for your rear arches and the cross member under your radiator.
If you are on facebook look under Mazda Bongo owners Devon. We have had a few good meets of late thanks to a few owners wanting to meet up. The latest was at Whisand Bay, just this last weekend. There was also meets at Dawlish Warren, the Fox and Hounds at Lydford, and a meet at Woodlands. They were all well attended. My wife and I are looking forward to meeting you at a meet soon,
Dave
