National Bongo Day , Lincolnshire/East Midlands "NOW ON"

To celebrate 10 years since the formation of the Bongo Fury owners club, Sunday 24th February 2013 has been designated as National Bongo Day. What we have in mind is a series of events in various locations across the UK & Ireland where Bongonauts can get to meet each other and perhaps have a Sunday lunch.

Hold your noses
just waxoyled the inside arches ( see thread bellow)

1 How long is it going to stench? (2 days with all windows open) was hoping to have the day out on Sunday at Rutland.. (serious stench)
2 Went to remove spare wheel
the tool i originally thought was to lower the the wheel is purely for the bottle jack (brown) and wont fit the hole. what does one look like/where can i get one from. Will modify a sissor jack handle given half an idea, what end shape / min length.
Hope to be there if we can survive the ride and get wheel removed

probably wrong post
but 2 for bacon butties
stench is getting less but still there

I'm my own man
