Which options to opt for???

[VWKev]

i'd rather have a 306gti and £20k than a mk6 golf.

then i'd sell it and buy a much better car for the money (but not brand new so it must be crap)

but you dont have a 306 or £20k so naff off

neither do most mk5/6 owners, only a long term finance deal.

I love your posts. It gives me a great chance to laugh at your six pack avatar with a small cock and a sh!t bmw.

Not any more. It's probably on its way to being baked bean tins by now...

On an options note - I'm trying to decide whether to have DAB - what made you choose it Kev?

      

Bit of a radio junkie mate, and prefer the better quality, better reception (obviously depending on area) and more channel choice.

I'm noticing the standard 310 analogue radio seems to be holding the stations better than the baked bean tins' one did.  Or something.

I live in a village right on a corner of 3 (or maybe 4) transmitters, and I can get Radio Scotland for example in three or four different positions (and flavours, different local news depending on the position of the dial at home).  The village centre seems to be a bit of a reception black spot, with a number of houses sporting FM aerials on high masts, and my car radio used to go very crackly driving through it.  In addition, if I tried to change the station while in the village centre, forget it.  The tuner couldn't lock on to a new station until I was out from under the hills.  Also, I often had to prompt it to look for a different frequency while leaving the village and moving into another transmitter area.

Now, I'm not getting the crackling in the village centre, and if it's changing frequencies as I head out (which I assume it is), it's completely seamless with no crackle or "search" notification.

Something seems to be working anyway.

do you have access to everyone's bank account details then?!  as usual a totally unsubstantiated and sweeping statement with no basis whatsoever.

I paid for my car in cash... hard earned cash...

[Rolfe]

Me too.  That and the scrappage deal, and a sweet discount from the dealer on top of that.

shrocco is an ex student working at a drive in car wash.
Whatever degree he did or didn't get it has failed him.

He's a bit like a lonely old mongrel, not wanted anywhere.

I have again highlighted the important bit for you. you dont own either. so I stand by original statement of naff off

i work at a motor dealership and most new cars are bought with at least some level of finance. it's not often people come in with the cash. it's not exactly unsubstantiated.

it's a recession, in case you haven't noticed. i'm still doing quite well at the moment. i will get an actuarial job as soon as the next cohorts are taken on.

at the end of the day - i'm not the one going to be dealing with soul crushing depreciation, or be paying for my car constantly over x months when the honeymoon period has expired.
