As long as it works!!!

I used to enjoy going to Singapore. I was last there in March for my moms medical treatment. What I've noticed though in the last 2-3 years is like there's been a decline in the social attitude of its youths. I've noticed an increasing number of youths just lingering around shopping centers and video arcades. A lot different from the Singapore I knew from say 5-8 yrs ago. Wonder what happened.....

Well, gum is still prohibited, unless it's medically indicated (eg. for plaque reduction &/or nicotine addiction).

Moral decline of the youth? I reckon it's a world-wide phenomenon. If you don't believe me, just take a read at some of the postings by so-called "16" and "17" year olds who allegedly "drive an SLK" over in the other boards

Glad you guys have fond memories of Singapore - it's really not a bad place to live (I'm sure everyone would have differing opinions), and I agree - we've gotten some things right somewhat .

EXCEPT THE BIT ABOUT CARS HERE COSTING MORE THAN HOUSES IN SOME COUNTRIES, that is :p

Hahah, glojo. Loved your comment about the extra-strength Singapore-made zippers

Anyway, the agent called today - after removing the dashboard, re-routing the airvents, resealing the whole thingamee and spouting essentially what I think is a whole truck-load of bovine excrement - my car will FINALLY (please please, pretty please) be delivered on Saturday.

So, the excitement level climbs once more...

glojo

Hooray, fingers crossed for Saturday. I know exactly what you mean about car salesman. I think they go to exactly the same honesty school as politicians.

Look forward to hearing from you soon.

The fantastic news is that dealer will be driving the car down to my workplace on Saturday - how's that for service

The bad news is I'm working on a Saturday... *bleah*

glojo

Excellent service, but would you not prefer to be 'the first' to drive your car?
(I accept that the car has to leave the factory, get onto and off a ship, then get to the dealership).

The service that is being offered to you is one that we should all expect. (Wow!!! a peregrine falcon just went hurtling pass my window in 'hot pursuit' of a pigeon)

Anyway before I was rudely interrupted... Dealers should try there hardest to retain customers and what better way than good service? My dealer will deliver a courtesy car, take my vehicle away, then when complete deliver it back to me all at no charge. If it is for a service then I pay the relevant service fee.

Just a few days to go...
Regards,
John

Heh heh, I "drove" the car when I tested it, and promptly found the leaking air vent ... as well as got my feathers all ruffled (no, no falcon after me) by the SBC's groaning.

So, no biggie... I'll have my car delivered to the door, thanks

After all the trouble they've put me through, after all that teasing (but no orgas... you know what I mean), I just can NOT wait for Saturday

Will keep all of you guys posted, FOR SURE... and I'll do well to splash the car's piccies all over the forum

Regards,
John (one too many?)
