Bongo Fury

yep i,ll be there , but i have my first bongo ,plain vanilla 8 seater , which i intend to pimp, convert to camper etc.on a DIY basis
now i was hoping to find a few ideas, and would like to photograph some of them, come home think about it ,and draw up a plan , which would not be a copy of one particular bongo , but a combination of many, given i politely ask first ,how do you think peeps would react to taking internal and external photographs of their pride and joy ?????

It's one of the main points of the bash , have a look at the previous bash piccies.

Go to any local or the national meet and you will find people wanting to have a look around the bongo.
its normal, take as many pics as you want and copy whatever , no one bothers.
i pinched my ideas from Kirsty (missfixit)

& I've pinched ideas from all over the place

Thats the thing about the big bash plenty of Bongo's to choose from and peeps are more than happy to show off what they have and what they have done - just ask and you will be spoilt for choice - roll on june is all I can say!!!!!!

thanks for the replies, well thats a relief, i was worried incase people thought i would be invading their privacy, and pinching their ideas

no worries generally people are happy to share their ideas and exchange information - thats what makes owning a Bongo so very special as the forum people are happy to share info. and ideas unlike a few other forums I have been on where people are too closed on here everybody is very friendly.

One thing for sure about Bongos......no two are the same.......silmilar but never the same!!

I think we all pinch ideas from one another !!

take a big note pad with you aswell so you can jot down any good idea's tha you see

First time we went to the bash was for a look see .... one nice guy gave us his keys and said drive it round the field ... awesome.... and if you dont stick your head in other bongos the owners will get upset ...

Im in the middle of doing a 2nd DIY conversion on my 2nd bongo,
Seats cut down to 2 seaters with a full side conversion. and some little extras. 5 weeks id better get a move on.
so if you want a look be my guest.

Carl,

I just remembered - You were after dimensions which I was going to confirm once I got home.

Are you needing any measurements from my van?

Cheers
Dave

There was a lovely lady doing the rounds at Southern Softies with a clipboard! She was doing her research before buying a Bongo, and camped on site just so she could meet a few people although she was relatively local (Southampton area, I believe). I think I was the first person she spoke to and I warned her that we're all so keen on showing off our Bongos and talking about them that she probably wouldn't get very far round the site. She didn't have the clipboard when she was talking to me, but by the time I got back from our day out, she had quite a sheaf of notes attached to it. She was with her sister who, it would appear, did not quite share her enthusiasm in her quest. Bet she's hooked now, though!!

That lady may well be reading this, and she may well have her Bongo by now. If so, "hello - I was so keen to talk about the Bongo, I never asked your name"

By the time the above lady got round to me she knew more about Bongo's than I do...She was telling me all about the cooling system etc Reckon she will have one very soon
