Microsoft Official Xbox 360 Wireless Racing Wheel

Advantages: Very robust and firm wheel. wireless
Disadvantages: MAY STRIKE SOME AS "CHEAP" LOOKING

...This wheel comes extremely well packaged and may take you a few mintues to actually get into it but atleast this lends assurance that it will transport well when it was shipped. The packages comes in 3 separate parts: >Wheel >Pedals >Table attachement WHEEL: The wheel itself is covered in a highly durable rubber covering making it very easy to keep a grip on it, which is an important feature if like me yours hands can sweat in the middle of an intense race. The wheel also has all the buttons you would find on a normal controller and they are all intuitively placed. The X,Y, A,B buttons are placed in easy reach of the thumb so when driving they are easy reachablt. The trigger buttons are also present as large levers placed directly behind the wheel so as you can easily use them but with enough room between them and the wheel...

Review of Microsoft Official Xbox 360 Wireless Racing Wheel

6 wheels in my packet, 5..., 4.... 0....

Advantages: Quite large, tasty, different shape to the norm
Disadvantages: Not real chocolate

...I seem to be constantly scanning the chocolate biscuit shelves for something a little bit different for pack lunches and after school snacks. I came across Burtons Wagon Wheels the other day and as I remembered how wonderful they were when I was a kid (many moons ago) I thought they deserved a chance to grace my fridge!. The 3inch diameter chocolate wheels are individually packaged in bright red foil packs with a picture of a wildwest wagon and ?Original Wagon Wheels? written on the front. I bought a multi pack of 6 for £0.90 and the outer packaging is almost identical to the individual packs ? although it is oblong rather than square and announces a ?Great New Chocolatey Taste?. On the packs, the inside biscuit is described as a ?delicious mallow biscuit with a chocolate flavoured coating? with ?a taste for adventure...

Review of Burtons Wagon Wheels

The big wheel keeps on turning!

Advantages: A great attraction for Windsor
Disadvantages: none

...of the London Eye. I have never been on the London Eye so I can't compare, although I know people who have who say that the Windsor Wheel is nowhere near as impressive. That's hardly surprising as the Windsor Wheel is only 60 metres high compared to the London Eye's 135 metres. Also the Wheel trip lasts about twelve minutes compared to the London Eye's half an hour. Therefore it is not really fair to compare as the Windsor Wheel is not going to offer so much but I think it might be a good introductory ride for children before risking the larger London Eye. Also, of course, the differences are also reflected in the prices. A single ride on the Wheel costs £6.50, OAP's £5.50, children £4.50 and a family ticket (two adults and two children) costs £18.50. Compare this with the London Eye's prices of £17 per adult, £14 per concession and £8.75 per child...

Review of Royal Windsor Wheel, Berkshire

Wonder Woman's Wheels. . .

Advantages: Great for cleaning them.
Disadvantages: Expensive.

...Well known, and used by the motor industry as the professional cleaning product, also recommended and approved by the majority of motor manufacturers, as well as AutoTrader, What Car, and AutoExpress. In fact, speaking of Auto Express, the Wonder wheels product is the number one selling and multiple award winning alloy wheel cleaner. Wonder wheels has won the Auto Express product honours for eleven consecutive years! OK that sounds like an advert, it is actually. I lifted it from the CarPlan site, have a look for yourself http://www.carplan.co.uk/index.cfm?page=1 Contents of cardboard box are, 500ml wheel cleaner, 1 application bristle brush and a dispensing container. This stuff is now also available in a "trigger bottle". Instructions. To use, firstly I suggest doing this just after washing the car, that way a lot of the dirt...

Review of Wonder Wheels Cleaning Kit

Four wheels good.......Two wheels better

Advantages: Great stories/articles, loads of guest writers, great photography
Disadvantages: Too many adverts - but this is the case with most publications

...as reaching three figure speeds on the public roads and with photo evidence) and there is no discrimination about bike genres (some magazines only deal with sports bikes). It is a great all round magazine for the bike enthusiast. The only downside to this magazine is the amount of adverts. There are loads of them. However, I appreciate that all magazines are like this and there is nothing that you can do about it so it is a case of ?put up and shut up?. Two Wheels is not cheap, at £3.80, per issue but then no bike magazine is. All bike magazines are around the £4 mark so it is competitively priced. In order to reduce the cost of the magazine you have to subscribe for 12 or 18 months. Doing this will not only result in a significant saving (you can get up to 50% off buying 12 or 18 issues separately) but you will get a free gift such...

Review of Two Wheels Only

The wheels on the Wii go round and round

Advantages: cheap
Disadvantages: see review

...This is a funny old product because, of course, it's not really much more than a circular piece of plastic, yet it feels so good! The Wii Wheel is a driving wheel for use with Wii games that, erm, require you to drive. The way it works is you insert the Wii remote into it (it fits very snug), and then use the whole thing to drive. The Wii remote is not included in the purchase. There is a 'B' button on the back of the wheel, operatable with your left pointy finger. The wheel cost me £6.99 on sopto.net and is the same price in Game stores around the country. Although the price seems very reasonable, it should be pointed out that standard Wii remotes are not at all practical for driving games, and really it's an additional cost that you pretty much HAVE to spend to be able to play racing games and the like, so it would have been...

Review of NINTENDO Wii Wheel - wheel

Six wheels on my Wagon

Advantages: Individually wrapped, taste ok, not too pricey
Disadvantages: Ordinary these days.

...Wagon Wheels are one of those last few remaining treats that I remember from my childhood, and are still around. As kids we would be given a wagon wheel occasionally and they seemed huge taking ages to eat. I know that when we are young children we are usually quite small but I dont think that this is the only reason that Wagon Wheels seem to be so small nowadays by comparison. Still, in line with other such products, as their size has diminished their price has not. They are usually purchased these days in multi-packs such as the one I bought this week that hold 6 individually wrrapped wagon wheels. A wagon wheel is basically a round biscuit that is a good couple of inches in diameter. There are two digestive type biscuits sandwiched together with mallow and the whole concoction is covered in a cholcolate flavoured coating. Notice...

Review of Burtons Wagon Wheels

A4Tech Optical 5 button 2 wheel mouse: the best!?

Advantages: Very accurate, brilliant optical on almost all surfaces, SO comfortable to use, 5 buttons, 2 wheels
Disadvantages: Not many! Only one wheel has a button though

...I've had the A4Tech WOP-35PU mouse for a long time, I remember getting it due to wishing to have an optical mouse but not spend too much, and it cost me under £10, so I was very surprised at how well it lasted, and most of all, how happy I was with the mouse. In my opinion this is the best mouse I've ever used. I used to find Microsoft Intellimice the most comfortable, but this fits in my hand perfectly and is very well designed, with easy access to use all 5 buttons, so it is very well designed. Visually, the mouse looks very professional, with a slight futuristic effect, amazingly without looking too tacky, so I'd definitely say it looks great. The buttons themselves are reasonably light in touch to use, but not too light to accidently knock (the only slight problem being a very slight tendancy to knock the left side button by...

Review of A4Tech mouse

Caramel Wagon Wheels an Acquired Taste

Advantages: Large
Disadvantages: Tastes Like Cardboard

...We are all quite fond of eating biscuits in my household. In fact we tend to go through quite a lot in the space of a week often as a result of packed lunches for all of us and an after school snack for the children. I tend to try and buy slightly more healthy versions for example serial bars however occasionally if I see a special offer on at the local supermarket I will tend to buy a slightly more indulgent biscuit pack. Apparently the Wagon Wheel is making something of a comeback at the moment and I was enticed to buy a packet of the caramel version of the product as it was on offer for a pack of six for 50p. I remember these years ago however I'm sure they had jam in them then!! The wagon wheel biscuit apparently has been around since the 1940's and are the biggest chocolate biscuit available to buy on the market (these are...

Review of Burtons Wagon Wheels

The Catherine Wheel

Advantages: Consistent, quality band
Disadvantages: Later albums weren't *quite* as good

...I was pleased that Ciao added this band in as a category (at my asking, I admit!), I thought they had been unfairly neglected so far and they're a top band. So if you're sitting comfortably... Catherine Wheel were formed in 1990 and are probably best described (during their early days) as shoegaze-oriented indie-rock with a supreme ear for melody and an uncharacteristically (for the genre) strong and present vocalist in Rob Dickinson. Despite being pigeonholed with other bands of this sub-genre such as My Bloody Valentine, they probably owed more to the reto-indie groups of the time such as House of Love. Certainly they were more of a straightforward rock outfit from this point of view, although they were still an original band. They brought out their first album "Ferment" in 1992. This, along with "Chrome" from 1993 rates as...
