...and, as many of us have found, more that doesn't actually go wrong. The Bongo is a truly great motor, by any standard.

Yep.............agree......... There's a T4 owner.........nice fella.. blinged his up with bonnet bra/alloys/tints....etc.
He always keeps "bumping" into me when I collect my 10 year old from school..........tis funny how the conversation always ends up being Bongo's........ :lol: :lol: :lol: ........ I just pass the time of day yet he always. yep always.....talks Bongo's
I have relented to show him "around" when the days get warmer and I have time to ........ he has asked the usual..... diesel/petrol mpg stuff....... asked Kitchen etc..... but yet to add all the electric stuff that Bongo has..... and how easy and comfortable it is to drive.....
I met a T4 owner from Bury St Edmunds last time I was at Rainbow Conversions getting some CBE sockets...... again conversation ended up being Bongo's....... he wanted one but couldn't find one cheap enough..... his T4 was in a previous life a plasterers van and was cheap.... wonder why?..... :roll:
