If it's like the Peugot which a friend of mine bought recently, I'm quite impressed.

Plus points: Spacious. Flat floor front and rear. Walk through. Two side doors. Economical. Discreet.

Minus points: No gutter for roof rack fitting. Won't run on cooking oil (subject to confirmation). Bodged from LHD to RHD like all the rest of the Euro cr@p.

Cheers Carl.

Bongo plans on hold until I've sold my business and retired (for the second time)...hopefully by the end of the summer.

Meanwhile we needed a bigger van for my birdfood business as I was having to return to my wharehouse with the Kangoo (three miles from the shop) three times a day to reload deliveries and restock the shop. We sold over three tons of birdfood last week, all to private individuals!

It's the older model Boxer (P Reg) but has only 68.000 on the clock and has been well looked after. The previous owner is a carpenter and he has boxed off the cab. The 'box' seems bigger inside than my caravan! I picked up over a ton of birdfood from my suppliers in Leyland today and brought it back to the Lakes no probs.

Your therapist must be doing a good job, at least your down to the correct number of letters, some of the initial ones in the right order. :roll:

Next step is to change the rest of the letters, at the same time gently oozing into the familiar Bongo shape.

Before you know it, life will be sunny & clear, roads that seemed impossible to traverse will suddenly become easily passable & a social life you previously had shall be restored.

Great news Harry. It'd good to know the snowy weather improved your sales 8) 8) 8) 8) I will now have to re-train my brain again to look out for a Peugeot now #-o . Although dont expect me to be waving from my bongo. I am currently whizzing around in a blue Honda Jazz - great little car. Might keep it yet :shock: :shock: :shock:

I think that there must also be a problem with the photographic part of Harry's memory Dave. A boxer Looks nothing like a Bongo. :lol:

Oh yes it does....its the older model..not the streamlined new shape.

But it doesn't drive like a bongo :cry: .

No power steering and no turbo. :cry:

Can't get it above 70 and slows to 60 uphill on the motorway when its loaded :oops

My missus says that its one way of keeping my licence....I've got 6 points all for speeding. :oops:

I'm sure we could do an AFT conversion on it during a day-meet - I can bring a 9" slitting wheel and some stepladders..... :wink:
