Bongo Fury

Yeah i will see you around harry cant wait mate.

Great news scottb Bet you can't wait to pick it up.
Couldn't agree more about Mike , Mike jnr and his team @ Wheelquick theyre the tops .We take our Bongo there wouldn't take it any where else. Happy Bongoing and Enjoy

No we cant wait i am glad he said he would get it all done and ready for pickup tomorow or else i wouldnt know what we would be doing with ourselfes if the wait was any longer. Hopefully will see you around and i wont be stalking your bongo anymore in morrisons or asda.

Great news scottb - I don't think you can go wrong buying from Wheelquick from all I hear. At £3k you've almost got enough to have the lifting roof conversion done. Start saving now. Oh but first, fork out and have the low coolant warning alarm fitted. No arguments! And when you get it, take the time to lift the engine covers and go over it to learn what goes where and what to keep an eye on. And enjoy the drive - you just bought yourself a classic

PS - mind you, I had a Nissan Sunny 1.6GLS. 18yrs old and it broke my heart to let it go as it still ran like new. Another truly amazing car in its own way

Cheers mike we are chuffed but also a little sad to see the sunny go. It is a 1.4ls and is in lovely condition for being 20 years old it is all electric aswell so it was the top spec back in the day. You are right they are amazing cars the old sunny but i think trading it in against the bongo has kind of giving it a dignified fair well.

Yup - everything must pass. Some other lucky customer of Wheelquick will get themselves a cracking Sunny so it will have a loving home. Mine went to a very grateful home and I hope it is still serving them well. A truly great car - second to none for longevity

SILVER Bongolows RULE.........O.K.

Glad you got sorted at Wheelquick

Congrats Scott - I envy you as well getting yours so quickly - I have no idea when I will be able to drive mine yet

Nice one scott!

Where are you? Out in your bongo with a smile on your face?

Get some photos on and we want a first report.

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehaaaawwwwww - enjoy it good buddy. real reason fuel consumption is high on Bongos is you can't stop wanting to drive them

I picked up my Bongo from Wheelquick three days ago. A silver tintop V6 this time.
The Mikes were great about the whole deal. Since I live near London I wanted to drive my worn Bongo up and exchange it for the new one and hand over some money.
Mike (dad), on the phone was positive he could be fine with that and the whole buying experience was positive and enjoyable. I had asked to have an alarm and a towbar fitted and also replace the cambelt. All this was done when I got there and I hung around while my radio was put into the new Bongo.
Mike pointed out something he noticed when replacing the cambelt to keep an eye on and I was off, whizzing down the motorway in the new van.
It was without doubt, worth the 235 mile journey each way and although it might be a touch too far to go for a service, I will keep in touch to try their after sales service.
Apart from being a very happy customer, I have no other involvement with Wheelquick.
Cheers,
Tim

I customer from Epson - speaks volumes for Wheelquick really. What's that old saying "If a man hides his house in a wood yet he has a good idea, the world will beat a path to his door" (well, something like that!)

I would say this to prospective Bongo owners. A 200 mile journey to collect is not really a cost. It is just the first (and arguably one of the best) of many great journeys you'll thrill to in the Bongo. Preferably enjoyed either alone or at least with a silent partner

Thats what I did. It was fantastic

Just had mine waxoiled at Wheelquick, can't recomend them enough. Even though I didn't buy it from them they checked it out for me gave loads of advice. Will definitely use them again , I now feel safe in the knowledge that there is somewhere out there that knows and loves Bongo's.
Worth my Bongo membership fee just for finding Wheelquick.

Thanks Lads
