...My wife spotted the Jag on a day trip to Manchester. It was for sale outside some flash offices and we had a look at it as the price - £7995 in May 2008 - was very tempting and well within our budget.
She fell in love with it right away. It is a 2.5 SE 4wd in metallic light blue and has the very light tan leather trim - absolutely gorgeous hardly does it justice !!!
The owner saw us looking at it and came out to talk to us. He was getting a Lexus the folowing Sunday so wanted shut asap.
He was a real gent - one of the old school - and so we arranged a test drive the following day as we both had no time to spare there and then.
It was superb to drive - I had borrowed a similar one some 6yrs ago and this one seemed even better.

Review of Jaguar X-Type 2.5
Advantages: Huge capacity, reasonably fast, 5 year warranty Disadvantages: Not the fastest
...My laptop, a Dell 5150 is a fine machine (see review elsewhere on Ciao) but the 80Gb hard drive whilst big for a laptop is starting to get a bit cramped now I have both Windows XP and Vista on it so I've started looking around for a second hard drive so I can put Vista on one and leave XP on the other and then swap drives as needed. Luckily, following a previous hard drive failure, I have a spare caddy that the laptop needs so swapping drives would be a quick task, assuming I keep the tiny screwdriver needed handy in my rucksack!
Laptop hard drives are smaller than normal - 2.5inch as opposed to 3.5inch and tend to be at a price premium compared to the 'normal' sized drives, especially the bigger ones. They also tend to be much slower as they run at 4200RPM instead of 5600 or even 7200RPM that desktop ones run at. The reason being...
Advantages: Light, Great gears, Good looks Disadvantages: Uncomfortable saddle, not the greatest wheels
...I have long harboured a desire to own a half decent roadbike. Fortunately my employers opted into the "Cycle to Work scheme" And I purchased a Defy 2.5.
Looks
This bioke looks good in a largely black and white frame with grey details. The bike itself is set at fairly agressive angles with a nice low handlebar.
Frame
The frame is extremely light aluminium (10kg total weight) and put together with very neat and efficient welds. The geometry feels right on the bike, although if you are new to raod bikes you may find the handlebar set a little low. My first ciouple of journeys resulted in sore back and stiff neck, however you soon adjust.
Gears
This bike features a 27 speed Shimano Tigra setup (3 front cogs, 9 rear cogs) That gives you a huge variation. In the highest gear roadsise blurs past you...
Advantages: Great acting, great script Disadvantages: none
...McCoy, Todd Carty, Bobby Davro, Neil Morrisey and Robert Powell doing the same thing just wouldn't have been the same ( but I would love to see that version!). So it just goes to show that you don't need loads of things happening and fast editing (Guy Ritchie) to make a great film,
I thought the acting in 44 Inch Chest was excellent. By far the best performances come from classic English actor John Hurt and old Lovejoy himself Ian McShane. Hurt plays a nasty old man Steptoe type character who hates the gay escapades of McShane. One of the best scenes comes when he marvellously retells the biblical story of Samson and Delilah. Using footage from the 1949 film, Hurt tells the story in typical East End fashion which oddly works against the old school Hollywood background.
McShane as well comes off very well indeed. If anyone's seen...

Review of 44 Inch Chest
Advantages: Original, refined, handling and ride, reliability, dealers Disadvantages: Highish CO2 rating
...as tough as old boots, a proper car.
Now, finally, with apologies to those amongst you bored with the preamble, to the subject of this review: the latest SUBARU LEGACY 2.5 SE TOURER.
It shares very much the same ingredients with the original "moors" car and the one driven several years ago, but GM (owners of this slightly eccentric Japanese marque) have applied the top gloss in terms of fit and finish and perceived quality. Indeed the old grey "tweed" upholstery has been replaced by superb half leather / alcantara, the dashboard is now attractive to look at - if a little "Eurobland" with its aluminium strips and flaps over the stereo.
The car that we drove also had a huge panoramic sun roof which split in the middle. Personally I would have done without this particular option as all it served to do was create extra wind noise...
Advantages: Built like a brick **** house Disadvantages: Badly designed instrument layout
...I have owned a Discovery 2.5TDi from new since 2003 and consider now that I have enough experience to comment fairly on it.
Good points
1. Excellent work horse. Can tow all day without noticing the load
2. Very comfortable and excellent seat movement
3. Makes you feel safe and secure
Bad points
1. Very poorly designed dashboard layout. Most displays hidden by the steering wheel
2. Very badly positioned switches for electronic seat controls. You have to have needle thin hands and be a contortionist to use them
3. Poor electrics (especially the sun roof which has a mind of its own). and the worlds worst SAT Nav. You can buy a top of the range Garmin for less than the disc upgrade.
Despite this we love it warts and all....
Advantages: Excellent traction, driving good, bullet-proof, good residual values Disadvantages: Heavy in town, fuel consumption, minor niggles
...My Land Rover Discovery 2.5 TD5 GS is the 5-seat model, first registered in December 1999. It was bought in June 2000 for £20,000, having cost approximately £27,500 new. It had nearly 5000 miles on the clock. Bodywork was and is immaculate and the previous owner (a rural chemist) buys a new one quite frequently (every 6 months!). This car had also had lamp protectors and fog lamps fitted over the standard spec, with floor mats and mudflaps also fitted. The point at which bought it was just after the start of the drop in new and used prices and appeared to be priced to keep cash flow going as it has only depreciated by £2000 over 1 year.
Main off-road use has been up rough tracks (to go hillwalking or visiting relatives). Otherwise its main off-road use has been up our gravel drive or mounting a pavement to turn or park. Needless to...
Advantages: SAS and SATA drive compatible Disadvantages: None!!
...I have been looking for an enclosure that fits nicely into my desktop 3.25" bay - yet is RIAD compatible. It is critical that it can fit 2.5" SATA or SAS drives as anything larger would just take up too much space.
Alas, I found this neat enclosure to fulfill just this. Also, I must say the product was delivered in good time; it was well packaged and the description of the product on the sellers site was excellent.
The Star Tech product itself is to be used with a RAID control card and as such the latter is a separate purchase.
However, I was looking for an enclosure for SATA/SAS drive - and here it is.
I haven't yet used the product but looked at the quality of build - and it is good.
It does have product information sheets included as well as the data cables.
Overall, a good purchase.
Happy shopping!

Advantages: nice screen, good battery life, fast specs Disadvantages: large size (price?)
...Apple mac-books, where to start...
ok, so to start,
it is an apple, that means you get a solid quality product and on the whole very good customer are.
this particualar apple is deffinatly more suited to being a media center than other laptops. At first glance you realise that it is a fairly large laptop, this allows for a big screen, which being an apple ffers clear vivid displays, unfortunatly the big screen increases the overal size and also uses more battery, however, the 4.5 hour yattery is still very good for an entertainment laptop.
The laptops technical specs include a very fast 2.5 ghz dual core proccesor which is very fast, the dual core allows it to tackle multiple tasks quicly as well as increasing the overall speed of the laptop.
The price is quite steep however, but i believe, if given the money, it is...
Advantages: Comfortable, fast and reliable Disadvantages: Fuel consumption
...The Mondeo 2.5 Ghia X is a really good car - if only it had a BMW badge on the boot then it would get the recognition it derves.
Okay, so the 2.5 drinks petrol like it's going out of fashion - but you know that when you buy a 2.5! The engine is smooth and powerful, but does like revs. It'll just about beat 60mph in second gear which makes for great overtaking. The handling is good for such a large estate car; it's no sports car but it is sure footed and consistent.
The boot is huge, particularly with the seats down. The interior is roomy all round and there's plenty of gadgets to play with. Mine had SatNav which was good when it was working - two units were replaced under warranty until the dealer realised that the problem was with the aerial...
