AFTER almost 11 years of very happy Bongownership, I have decided that its time to part company with my much-loved Bongo (shortly to be appearing on a For Sale page near you, but that's for another part of the website !).
I thought I would share a few statistics :
since June 2005 :
driven 59900 miles ;
consumed 8875 litres of Diesel (ouch) ;
average mpg 30,5 ;
14 trips to France and Spain ;
2 trips to Scotland ;
1 house move ;
umpteen trips to IKEA ;
ZERO callouts to the Breakdown people ;
If I could get my hands on a new one I'd buy it tomorrow, but for the time being its going to be a new Citroën C3 Picasso (easy to get sorted in France if it goes wrong).
Now I'll have to learn the Club rule which refers to ex-Bongo owners - Rule 1.1 (1) (f)
Farewell to my beloved Bongo !

I'm coming up to 10 years, but am thinking of putting money in to do a thorough overhaul and try and get some more years out of it. Whenever I look at alternatives, I seem to find there are none that come close to a Bongo
