Cable Forum - What have you just bought?

I accompanied my aunty to Wakefield where she brought that listed car from, which was on the train choo choo ;)

Yeah Brighton had some dodgy roads bumpy bumpy but the looks overshadow the downfalls :romance:

I feel the same every time I get in my new to me car, it's awesome and even though it's 3 years old it's immaculate and just like a brand new car, I'm like an excited kid at Christmas still.

The mod costs as much as the router and then there is the antenna but if I can get a sustained 400mbps it will be worth the outlay

Sound good.

Since I got IPTV I find I put live TV on more for background noise, just pick something random before going to work.

OMG, that was the Audi dealer that destroyed the drivers seat in my A4, and was a nightmare for a few other things during the 3 years we had the car. They're the reason we don't have an Audi anymore and why we went to the dealer nextdoor and got a Volvo.

Totally agree, dealing with a smarmy salesperson face to face (in a showroom full of prospective customers) is definitely the way to go.

We had a couple of 'issues' when buying our car, after listening to inane bullcrap excuses for 5 minutes I (very) loudly said to the wife "come on let's go somewhere else, these people just make promises they have no intention of keeping. I like the car but won't deal with liars"

whoooosh, very quickly escorted into the managers office where the 'issues' were dealt with to my satisfaction.

Re: What have you just bought?

We were looked after at Wakefield by a lad named Louis. The car had warranty services included and aftercare communication. They transferred everything over to a dealer closer to my aunty in Brighton where she was looked after although a change of wiper blades made my eyes pop out. £80 :LOL: before she traded in they advised to change one tyre. The salesman at Worthing said you'd be better off changing all 4 so they are equal lol long story short he then knocked the cost of tyres off her new purchase.

At Wakefield was a finance employee with a fat round arse. Very pretty. :romance:

You'd be amazed at the amount of 'drivers' that can't change a wiper blade ;)
