owelly Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 Way down deep in the middle of the Congo, A hippo took an apricot, a guava and a mango, He stuck it with the others and he danced a dianty tango, And the rhino, said "I know, we'll call it Um Bongo" I was looking for a replacement for my Volvo. I'm gna loose my license/life before too long so it has to go. I was thinking of a camper 'cos I like camping but with the imminent arrival of Owelly jnr, I think a tent would be a nightmare. Also, it would be a bonus if it was 4wd like as what my Disco was. It was fabbo for pulling my boat in and out of the wet waterness. A turbot diesel with a powerfull engine would be good to pull my toys on my magic trailer. Auto would be nice so I can eat pies at the wheel with ease. Needs to be big enough to got all the babbiloo parafanalia on board plus dog. Needs to be versatile enough to use every day. Then I found the answer to all my prayers. The holy grail. Everything a Owelly could want. The Mazda Bongo!! 😬 Anyone heard of them? Any good? Anyone want to buy a '98 Volvo S70 T5? its only a game.........

Normans_Ghost Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 I had a rich uncle who would take me to Brighton in his car (he was the only person I knew who had a car). You've guessed it - it was a pink Cresta. Before that he had a black Velox and before that a black Wyvern Then another uncle got a car - it was a Zephyr. When I could drive I drove it through the front of an off licence. Sherry running down the road like a river. The policeman asked in all seriousness if I had been drinking.

Hibster. Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 "" It's frothy man Delbert, next time you are near Gloucester spend an hour or so reminisicing at the Robert Opie Museum of advertings & packaging, they play adverts from the 50-70's. Tis a lovely place but I've not been for years For a food & drink trip down memory lane try here A sample "Fray Bentos Steak pie'-in-a-tin. Had a wonderful catchline in the TV ad: "It's Beef! It's Beef!". These days you wouldn't feed it to your dog, but it was so Glam because it was Steak. Serve with Blue Nun and Smash."

Coose Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 There's nowt like a good thread hijack! That'd do it matey, but the only problem I see is that you'd treat it like your Disco and it'd last 5 minutes.... Might be worth a look at one though, and I can see your point! But what about this...... here It has a tent on the back already! p.s. BB - Bart passed the MOT on Saturday..... 😬 We will mend it We will fix it...

Delbert Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 And it has the added advantage of wash down floors etc when the little one rejects its Breakfast However will it fit in the Mother and Baby parking space at Tosscos? or are the doors high enuff to open over the top of the adjacent car, The Liver is an evil organ and deserves to be punished Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owelly Posted March 21, 2005 Author Share Posted March 21, 2005 I don't care what all you non-believers think ❗ I want a Bongo. Bongo's are us. I lived with a Discovery for 5 miserable years so a Bongo will be a walk in the park/hard shoulder 😬 its only a game......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meldrew Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 The Bongo is a Mazda minibus/van thing. You really don't want one, apart from the name, though it will be no threat to your licence. Best if you can find the Bongo Friendee variant I once saw in Japan. But then again, why not have a Toyota Corolla Super Windy? I remember Cresta ads. And Quatro. Bleugh.

Meldrew Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 There are some surprisingly pleasant Japanese soft drinks with horrid sounding names though - Calpis and Pocari Sweat. But the foulest soft drink in the world is Thums Up, an Indian cola brand flavoured with Chili. Possibly even worse than Dr Pepper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coose Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 NOTHING on this planet can be worse than Dr Pepper. Except onions. Or cucumber. Or fish. Toyota Super Windy - I like that! We will mend it We will fix it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff C Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 My wife wants one. Thats not very helpful I know ❗. Oh and my dentist sold his DB7 to get one... All the rage with school kids apparently.
