Incurring the wrath of the Mazda Bongonauts

Mazda Bongo
Mazda Bongo. ‘We would never allow any politicians, let alone those who have collaborated with the enemy, into our vehicles,’ writes Bongonaut Ian Maynard.

I really must object to the tone and content of your G2 story (Q: What’s screwed and fits into a Mazda Bongo? A: The Lib Dems (all eight of them), 13 July). Bongo owners (Bongonauts) have been raging ever since about the inaccuracies in the article.

First, we would never allow any politicians, let alone those who have collaborated with the enemy, into our vehicles. Second, your picture has clearly been Photoshopped as none of our elevating roofs are orange. And third, John Harris assumes that Bongos are “favoured by people with upwards of three kids”. What nonsense! I suggest that a retraction is in order.

Parp! Parp!
Ian Maynard
Secretary, Bongo Fury, the Mazda Bongo Owners Club
