Bye Bye Billy
Well. Have taken a deposit from a guy for our Bongo this weekend, so thats it for us.
Billy Bongo is now owned by a University Lecturer from Lancaster Uni, so I have told Billy that from now on, he will have to be on his best behaviour.
I have mixed feelings this evening. Part of me is relieved that the "selling" part is over (I hate selling stuff - would rather just trade in) and part of me is gutted to be bongoless.
I had the oil and filter changed this weekend and I was looking at my engine and how clean and new it looks compared to other cars I have owned and it dawned on me that this is the reason we took 3 months to find "the one" It really has been a great van.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank a few people for their friendship and warmth these last few years. You know who you are so I wont embarrass you by putting your names on here. But THANKS guys and girls.
Erin, the girls and I would like to attend North West and Yorkshire crew meets in the future, even if its in a tent.
Its been a blast. From Pete's first ever Stainforth meet, the unforgettable Hill of Oaks Windermere boating weekend, Buxton Typhoon season and a quick visit to the Silverdale Soakers.
All the best everyone,
Dave and Erin and Honey Bunny Bee.

Re: Bye Bye Billy
All the very best for the future Dave & Erin. You were amongst the first to welcome me into Bongoland and its a sad day etc.....
But life does move on and none of us will be Bongo owners forever however we feel now. Hope you'll keep coming to Bongo meets regardless.

Re: Bye Bye Billy
Hey if you are coming to meets in your overgrown toddler suit you are always welcome - even if it is in a tent 

Re: Bye Bye Billy
My "overgrown toddler suit" kept me bone dry.
Until about 30 seconds before we left.
That was when a person who shall remain nameles (but has a lot of pink on their van and a liking for moving avitars) decided to move all the water from their awning, straight down my neck.
And at £12 from lidle, my all in one waterproof suit is great.
I might be tempted to wear it for you in the future Cat. Happy birthday.

Re: Bye Bye Billy
Glad to hear you are going to keep in touch
It is only a matter of time till you get a caravan 



Re: Bye Bye Billy
Mmmm. Erin has actually mentioned caravans twice this week without swearing.
I think my sales pitch of a built in shower and toilet might be tempting her.
Although we never get weekends off together so it might be pointless.
