@ Brix
That will be one hell of a present boet,im sure he will be happy with it.
@ Kryptik
Eish sorry to hear that,wish you a speedy recovery.
Lol getting a car for me is depending on the final exam marks, hopefully something like a POLO 2.0l or a used Mini Cooper thats done around 25000KM.
Have you guys looked at the Toyota Prius hybrid? Im sure they are going to be flying out the dealerships fast by the way the petrol is going up, its a very eco-friendly car.

Lol hey the Prius may not look good but if the petrol price keeps going up like this we will all have to settle for one lol

Hobbs, did you manage to get sorted with some ebooks, bro? In which genre are you interested?

@GUCCI
i can't afford settling for the n95 8gb ,i'm hoping the w960i won't be as expensive or i else can't afford settling on that either...
17s would be perfect,the whole lot
the prius's price isn't that bad in the long term considering costs that would be saved on fuel...but maintaining it might be on the expensive side,you never know...

If you're going to be buying a car without a maintenance plan(second-hand) check what the average service will cost you. That's one of the reasons Toyota's and VW's remain popular because they're reliable and relatively cheap to maintain compared to say, an Alfa Romeo or any French car- guess why they're so bad when it comes to depreciation.

@ Gola
Ye ,hopefuly its not too expensive, it shouldn't be,but you never know with Vodacom.
Lol true, but they musn't be expensive rims are rims lol, ive seen some ridiculous prices, like 20inch spinners for R70,000 on a Land Rover Disco-3.
Eish true,but Toyotas tend to be very reliable and tough.
@ Brix
True, for a Mini cooper BMW i think do give a Motor Plan when its 2nd hand though.

@ Gola and everyone else
Sorry I don't post here often but the W960 is available at MTN right now! I went to the MTN service centre in Northgate today and they had it in stock, I checked MTN Direct and they also have it in stock. The price isn't too bad either (I think the W950 is still more expensive!) I believe its free on one of the Procall contracts and with a pay-in of about R2200 (or R2020 I'm not too sure which) on a Mycall 100 contract (which would be the cheapest way to buy it). To compare, when the P990 came out I purchased it on Mycall 100 with a R2500 pay-in. Hope this helps. I have to say I'm rather impressed that MTN even have the phone as the impression I've got is that SE isn't releasing it in SA, it's not on the SA website at all. If you're waiting for Vodacom, I wouldn't hold my breath, its taken them this long to get the P1, which MTN had ages ago.

Speaking about cars...
The mrss brother is an avid oval track racer, he built this midget in the last 6 months,



it cost about R30 000, to build, 1 tyre :

costs well over a grand.

Well this weekend, he was racing in his 2nd race with the new car, and totalled it against a barrier. :

While we are on the subject of MTN,here are some contract packages for the Nokia E90 and HTC TYTN II from I-Talk Cellular (MTN contracts only)

TYTN II 'FREE' on a PRO CALL 120 (120 Anytime time) at 394.50 per month.

NOKIA E90 'FREE' on a PRO CALL 120 at 414.50 per month.

The key here is that they are 'FREE' without those HEFTY pay ins you get on the Vodacom packages.Mmmm,come June I might be having to say goodbye to ol' Vodacom and hello to I-Talk MTN.lol
