ATS - Exhaustingly Good

Advantages: Fast Service, Courteous Service
Disadvantages: Garages will differ around the UK

...trip, but after not hearing from ATS by 12:40pm I gave them a quick reminder call to see if my exhaust parts had arrived. The gentleman who answered was very courteous and explained that the parts hadn?t arrived yet, but they were due any minute now, and he would give me a return call as soon as they were in. Being an impatient little lady, I decided to drive round to ATS anyway, considering it was 10 minutes away, and figured the parts would have arrived by the time I got there. Luckily for me they had, and the receptionist said he was just about to call me?of that I?ll never know. Speaking directly to the mechanic I was told that my car was next in line, so would be in the garage within the next 5 minutes. It was actually quicker than that, as I didn?t have time to finish my cigarette before I saw my car being hoisted up the ramp...

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...

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...

a racing zebra??

Advantages: great film
Disadvantages: n/a

...I watched this film one Sunday afternoon and I could not believe that I had not seen it before this was a great children's film and was very entertaining. Just when you think your eyes are deceiving you yes it really is, it's a Zebra and he is really cute. This film like all animal films has animals that can talk. The film begins when a travelling circus accidently leaves a zebra in Kentucky on a miserable stormy night. The zebra is later found by Nolan Walsh played by Bruce Greenwood, a horse trainer who's given up his job after a riding accident killed his wife, his daughter Channing played by Hayden Panettiere who wants to be a jockey like her mum when she grows up, although her dad has other ideas for her, she decides to name the zebra Stripes who is voiced by Frankie Muniz. Stripes then grows up and as he lives near race...

Wide Open Spaces

Advantages: Great first album, good introduction to country
Disadvantages: None

...Wide Open Spaces If you?re looking for a great starter country album then look no further than Wide Open Spaces by The Dixie Chicks. It?s a great introduction if you have never really listened to country before and are not really a fan of the old classics yet, like Dolly Parton, etc, but want to experience a bit of the blue grass, country and that whole scene and get into the music. This album offers you upbeat, toe tapping, yee-hawing, classic story telling country with a new modern, sexy twist. The Dixie Chicks is made up of three females, Martie Maguire, Natalie Maines and Emily Robison. They are the highest grossing female band in the US, selling over 36 million albums as of March 2009! They actually formed in 1989 with a different formation but did not release their debut album, Wide Open Spaces, until 1998. They have...

Behind Enemy Lines

Advantages: Entertaining the whole way through
Disadvantages: Slightly on the budget side

...Last night Behind enemy lines was on Film Four and I thought I?d give it ago, I had never heard of the film before and so did not know what to expect, I always give the info on the TV a read before getting into a new film as unfortunately I am one of the Biased people of the world who find a film more worth trying if it has good actors and a good synopsis. Judging a book by its cover and all that (slap on the wrists). First impressions Before the film had started I had my doubts, the cast of actors includes Owen Wilson, and after seeing more than a fair share of his films, I was doubtful to whether he could pull off what was being described on the TV info as an ?action/thriller? I have never seen him in a serious role and although this gave doubts it also intrigued me into seeing the film and made me want to see if he would fail...

The race is on

Advantages: Brilliant fun family film, would make a great Disney ride!
Disadvantages: Not a classic

...-protected spaceship from the depths of Witch Mountain. ~ Cast ~ Jack Bruno - Dwayne Johnson Sara - AnnaSophia Robb Seth - Alexander Ludwig Dr Alex Friedman - Carla Gugino For some reason most people expect wrestlers to be poor actors but Dwayne Johnson, aka The Rock, who's actually done pretty well in the acting world, was great in this. His huge bulk made him the perfect form of protection for the children and he managed to add a touch of humour with his sarcastic lines and facial expressions. Playing a simple cab driver may have been a little too lowly a part for him though but his huge muscles and bulk did come in handy at various points in the film and he did get to engage in quite a bit of action. Despite having that look and feel of being a tough guy and suiting the wrestler image perfectly, he does surprising well in family movies...

Ebley tyres and exhaust

Advantages: cheap and great service
Disadvantages: none

...Having had the exhaust on the car go and tying it up with string as you do, we had to go and get a new one. We telephoned around and you would not believe the difference in price. We were limited as to how far we could drive with it tied up so could not go to a large town and had to make do with Cirencester and a choice of three places. At Kwik fit we were quoted at "just over £100" and at ATS they said it will be £110 plus £15 if the manifold bolts and springs are hard to get off - now you can buy these in places like Halfords for £6.00. Then we telephoned the cheapest which was Ebley. They said £75.00. On arrival there we found that they had to send for it from their other branch and this would take an hour. But, if we wanted to have a look around the town they would drive us there and pick us up. Now that is service. Also...

The Open Door

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

...and quiet, but the chorus is powerful and strong. 11. Your Star (4:43): This song lets the album down, in my opinion. That's not to say it's bad, but it's just not as good as the rest. I really don't like how it opens, the lyrics are fine "I can see your star", but it's the way Lee sings those lines that bothers me. It's very high pitched, and dare I say it, slightly annoying. Once we're past that opening though, the song is a lot better, however the screechy opening is one that's repeated throughout. 12. All That I'm Living For (3:48): All The I'm Living For opens with the punchy "All that I'm living for, all that I'm dying for, all that I can't ignore", before moving into lilting-Evanescence territory in the verse, then back into the punchy, rocky style for the chorus. A great song, though the chorus is slightly repetitive. 13. Good...

  Tyred? Exhausted? Avoid Kwik Fit! *UPDATED*

Advantages: Brake parts insured for life of car
Disadvantages: Very poor workmanship

...a couple of negative reports, they seem to have cleaned up their image. I was greeted at the reception desk by a mechanic, complete with his trademark blue "Kwik Fit" overalls. After explaining the noise, he informed me of the Kwik Fit Brake Check. "It's a complete check of your breaking system, and the cost of the service will be deducted from any work that needs doing." I was also presented with a leaflet explaining all that had just been said. It sounded alright, so I left my car with them. The reception area and visible workshop were very clean, and well equiped to cope with any of the services that they offer. The branch I went to also sell and fit tyres, exhausts, and shock absorbers. About an hour later, I got the dreaded phone call... "Hi it's **** from Kwik Fit. I've got some bad news I'm afraid - the noise you were hearing...
