Freelander TD4 3 Door Hardback

Advantages: Towing capability, practicality, equipment levels
Disadvantages: body roll, easily damaged interior, awkward hardback, costly insurance

...on sharp corners and roundabouts. But, as this is only issue i have with the ride and handling, i do not view this as a major disadvantage and should not put off any potential buyers. These cars can sometimes have a hard life, either as a school bus or as an off roader, if you own horses you will know what i mean, it is unfortunate therefore that the interior plastic trim becomes marked and scratched far too easily! Keep a look out in particular at the door sills and the boot door. Even though the boot in the Freelander is slightly smaller than in the larger 4 x 4's, it still remains high on practicality, and with the ease of the folding seats in the rear, you can gain a large flat load bay. Always bare in mind that the hardback roof on 3 door models must be removed and replaced by at least 2 people and is even then and awkward task...

freelander td4 sport 3 door

Advantages: practicality,looks,td4 engine,electric rear window
Disadvantages: lack of 6th gear,needs a bit more go

...ultra practical vehicle esp if you have a large German shepherd and a mentalist spaniel to cart around with you too! everything inside is wipe clean and the face lift interior is smart looking and durable too.the manual sunroof is handy although the clips to close it rattle a little.(a little oil helps tho)the air con is very strong cools the cab a treat.it should be noted that climate control isn't available on the freelander 1,just manual air con which doesn't particularly bother me. i like the sport spec as the exterior looks very nice with the big 18 wheels and the handling is surprising good.the suspension is lowered by 30 % on the sport so it corners very well with very little body roll. and a good if not an excellent ride...more than acceptable. the td4 engine is smooth once warmed up (gravelly when cold...

Doors Closing

Advantages: Compelling enough crime story
Disadvantages: Not a patch on the Rebus stories

...Doors Open - Ian Rankin Before I talk about the book ?Doors Open? written by Ian Rankin let me tell you a little story of my own. Many years ago I was the chief cashier in a branch of a high street bank. It was a small branch with a low foot flow of customers. However, it was in the very wealthy Belgravia area of London so what customers we did have were of the well heeled variety, premiership footballers and senior politicians were regulars. Even if they weren?t famous many of our customers were titled and came from famous families. These customers requested a lot of cash over the counter so we would hold rather more in our safe than similar sized branches elsewhere. Most weeks this would be around two to three hundred thousand pounds, at busy times it could reach perhaps three quarters of a million pounds. The money was held...

Review of Doors Open - Ian Rankin

Renault Clio Alize 1.4 - 3 door

Advantages: Reliable Nippy Compact
Disadvantages: Small in the back, not a good rearview.

...was cheap enough to fix at a local garage. (About £50) The rearview isn't all that great, as it's smaller, however I think it seemed worse because I traded it for an Escort, who have much larger rear windows. Getting in and out of the back seats can be a squeeze if you are a larger person or with physical disabilities, go for the 5 door otherwise. I spent ages one day looking for the hood lever, as I had someone wanting to see what it was like under the bonnet. I eventually found it - on the passengers side near the door. I've only ever seen them on the drivers side, which is why I couldn't find it. It's not a problem now, because I know where it is! But it was embarrasing at the time. The boot looks small, but it's deceptive, you can actually fit a good amount of stuff in it. My monthly shopping just fitted in the back. But...

Sliding Doors

Advantages: Easy To Watch
Disadvantages: Nothing Fantastic

...Sliding Doors is a film which brings to the screens the question ?what if?? it was released in 1998 and is still managing to bring in plenty of viewers due to its unique story and layout which has been copied, but not as successfully, since. What?s it all about? The movie is a romance story about Helen, the film follows her in her struggles through her life, work and especially her love life. The starting and main point of the film is at the beginning, she is catching a train which turns out to be a major pinpoint of her life. The film is then split into two stories, one in which follows on from her catching the train, and one of which follows on from her missing the train. This small event in Helen?s life changes everything and the consequences of either one is flashed back to throughout the film, and she experiences...

Evanescence-The Open Door

Advantages: Brillant stuff
Disadvantages: one or two lacking tracks

...Evanescence:The Open Door Evanescence a well know heavy metal'gothic' band (Although I wouldn't put the gothic in there') First released their debut album 'Fallen' in 2003 and followed that up with their live DVD 'Anywhere But Home' in 2004. In 2006 with Wind-UP Records they released this album 'The Open Door.' In my oppinion it is a great album, although I do prefer their previous album 'Fallen'. Their tracks 'Lithium' and 'Call Me When You're Sober' both have Music video's which are to a great standard. The Band Members Current Members Amy Lee ? lead vocals, piano, keyboards Terry Balsamo ? lead guitars Tim McCord ? bass Former Members David Hodges ? keyboards, piano, drums, backing vocals Ben Moody ? lead guitars Will Boyd ? bass John LeCompt ? rhythm...

Review of The Open Door - Evanescence

The Open Door

Advantages: Great songs, great vocals, lovely album cover
Disadvantages: "Your Star"

...to give my thoughts on this CD. **Cover and Packaging** This is one aspect of the album that really stands out. The cover is beautiful, with Amy Lee in a flowing dress standing by an open door. The CD doesn't come in a plastic case - it's one of those that's sort of a shiny cardboard, with a plastic inlay for the disk to rest in. On the inside of the cover, there's an attached booklet, with information, lyrics and glossy photo's. The booklet has a classic 'old' feeling to it, and I like the fact it's attached to the box - too often I lose these paper inlays. The disk itself is a dark blue, with golden markings on it that look quite mystical. The packaging really fits with the feel of the music, and the 'look' Evanescence have. **Tracks** 1. Sweet Sacrifice 2. Call Me When You're Sober 3. Weight of the World 4. Lithium 5...

Review of The Open Door - Evanescence

sliding doors

Advantages: great movie, great actors, great storyline
Disadvantages: Some people may find the movie hard to follow.

...Sliding doors is one of my all time favorite films! made by director Peter Howitt he has really made a different kind of film that makes you use your brain. It follows the life of helen (actress Gwyneth Paltrow) Who works in PR and lives with her writer boyfriend, unbeknown to helen her boyfriend gerry (actor John Lynch) Is cheating on her with an ex girlfriend, Helen goes to work as normal but gets sacked due to sexist male employees! Then the story really starts, Helen gets into the lift and makes her way to the tube station, then the screen splits, One helen catches the train, whilst the other helen misses the train ( They are both still the same person the story follows would would and wouldnt have happened if she caught or missed the train) The helen that misses the train has to get a taxi and gets mugged therefore she misses...

Review of Sliding Doors (DVD)

Sliding Doors

Advantages: Thoughtful Rom Com, Engaging, Warm
Disadvantages: Some OTT performances

...Sliding Doors - Film Only review What different path would your life follow if you happened to say, miss a tube-train by only a second? What effect would that second have on your life? Would it be different? Or is your destiny inextricably mapped out? Sliding Doors, directed by Peter Howett (of 'Bread' fame) explores this question, following the life of recently fired PR Girl Helen (Gwyneth Paltrow) as she misses a train in one scenario but catches it in another. The movie cleverly switches between the two storylines - in the first, after catching the train, Helen arrives home early to find her boyfriend Gerry (John Lynch) enthusiastically entertaining his brash American bit-on-the-side (the ever-sexy Jeanne Tripplehorn). In the other, missing the train, she arrives home much later to find Gerry guiltily washing...

Doors and windows for your lego house

Advantages: gives more options for lego building projects
Disadvantages: nnone

...My grandson aged 6 years old is getting very creative with his Lego. For Christmas we bought him LEGO® Doors & Windows 6117. In this box are doors and windows, shutters too. There are 100 pieces Lego says but I have not counted them. There are yellow windows red windows white windows of different sizes there are green shutters. Yellow doors blue doors red doors. There is clear plastic window glass for the frames. The windows and doors are a variety of different shapes and sizes. Now my grandchildren can be really creative and build a house or doctor?s surgery with as many windows and doors in it as they like. They will not be restricted by the number of windows, doors that come in other brick sets. This set of windows and doors is suitable for a child aged 4 and over. I think a 5-6=7 years old will get the best from it...
