Focus on the Max

Advantages: comfortable, economical, spacious
Disadvantages: Has a Ford badge on the front

...the lion's share of my hard toil and to give me little in return. Boo to the taxman.<<Rant mode off>> The centre console has a 3.5 mm jack socket that is provided to allow you to use an MP3 player with the stereo system. I will have to find a short cable so that I can play all my dodgy downloaded music on long journeys. Apparently the chassis and running gear is the same as the VW Touran. It certainly seems a bit more refined that the Fords I have driven in the past. Boot Space a little more than the standard Focus boot. It is a good shape and has none of those awfully shaped corners that make stowage awkward. I got all my stuff in there without a problem, and in the old car some of it had overflowed into the back seat, something that is frowned upon by our health and safety officer. Below the boot floor is the well where a spare...

Review of Ford Focus C-MAX 1.6 TDCI

Ford Focus 1.8 Zetec C-MAX.

Advantages: Roomy, upmarket quality & quiet.
Disadvantages: Hand brake position needs getting used to.

...,000 and engine seems very lively. Have just had the screen washer pump pack up, but this will be replaced under warranty! Security, full remote central locking with deadlocks. It has an interior alarm & you can specify perimeter alarm( extra). Engine immobiliser. Shielded door locks. Price wise, there have been some discounting on some of the models in the range and the LX and Zetec models are the ones to buy. Some problems have been encountered with the electronic parking brake fitted on the Ghia models but Fords are on top of this. Still the best engines to go for are the Diesels, the 2.0 Litre is a little flyer! Will keep you posted as to how the C Max fares in the future. Have now bought the focus hatchback as replacement (01/09/2007), but used the C max to go to Harwich in before getting it, carried 4 adults and luggage for a cruise and had...

Pucker up with Max Factor!

Advantages: Stays on and refuses to budge
Disadvantages: CAn cake on the lipts if your not careful

...it's time to move on from lipstick covered teeth yet! All in all this is a must have for the party season and has many more positive points than negatives, I for one won't be using anything else and I'll just remember that after a few hours I need to use the top coat and I'm away! I can't live without this product and even my Mother owns one or two of them now. If you don't believe my claims nip into a chemist and try a tester if your not brave enough to put it on your lips draw a line on your hand and leave to dry a minute then try removing it?! Case closed lol PS! Boots have an offer on, spend £12 on Max Factor get free goodie box and in TK ax you can get 4 lipfinity lipsticks for £10 in a case (regular size) and in TJ Hughes they have limited colours but are £2! It really pays to look on markets and in bargain buckets you...

Max Factor Colour Adapt Foundation

Advantages: Evens skin tone, looks quite natural, a little goes a long way
Disadvantages: Caused me to break out, encouraged oilyness, didn't stay on amazingly long

...Ah, the delights of teenage skin. Never know what it's going to do next. One day it's dry, flakey and tight feeling, the next you wish you had a spatula to scrape all the oil off. Not to mention oh so stubborn blemishes. I personally have all these things going on, combination skin basically, and I've always had trouble keeping spots at bay. Don't even get me started on clogged pores or blackheads! Don't I paint quite the picture? Anyway, now I've recently started bringing a biiiit more money into the house, I decided it was worth going out and treating myself to a more elaborate foundation. Meandering around all the makeup counters in Boots, I was completely lost. So much to choose from, I can't even decide what skin type I have nevermind what I'm supposed to put on it...so I decided to ask a representative at the Max Factor...

Relax with a Max

Advantages: Nice flavour
Disadvantages: Artificial ingredients

...Imagine my relief when I found out that Pepsi made a low calorie drink aimed squarely at the male market. Yes I know that it is perfectly legal for us chaps to consume diet Pepsi or diet Cola but I always found it a little embarrassing asking for the aforementioned beverages. I always felt that somehow my masculinity was being called into question if I entered a shop and picked up the diet version of any drink, real men simply don?t consume diet drinks. That is until Pepsi Max hit the shelves. When Pepsi Max was launched the adverts featured young sporty chaps performing all sorts of extreme pastimes such as bungee jumping, skateboarding and BMX racing. That?s the sort of image I want when I buy a drink. Although it?s fair to say my days of BMX riding are well behind me and the thought of attaching a piece of elastic to my ankles...

The Focus C-Max 1.8 LX

Advantages: good reliable small family vehicle
Disadvantages: none as yet

...I bought the c-max in late 2006 as i was in need of a more reliable car than the dreaded Vauxhall Vectra i was forced to drive round in. I had to keep to the larger size vehicles as i have a wife and two little cherubs to cart around so i needed something as spacious as the Vectra. The Focus c-max was suggested to me by a friend as he was, and still is, an avid Ford fan, at present driving a Focus 1.6 zetec. I had taken a few cars out on test drives, such as the galaxy and the Mondeo, I even test drove a Zifira, even though it had the hated Vauxhall logo on the front. The mondeo was top of my list for space and drive until i jumped behind the wheel of the Focus C-Max. This is a family car with everything one requires. To drive one of these is a pleasure in itself with the power assisted steering and the gear lever in just the right...

Review of Ford Focus C-MAX 1.8

Max Factor Colour Adapt Foundation - a pleasure to use!

Advantages: Blends perfectly; really works to adapt to your natural colour
Disadvantages: None

...I have tried number of different brands and types of foundation over the years. I first used Max Factor Colour Adapt when I got a free sample of it after buying some other Max Factor products. Colour Adapt comes in five shades: Creamy Ivory, Warm Almond, Blushing Beige, the uninformatively-named Natural, and Golden. It claims to adapt to your natural skin tones to provide a natural finish. The free sample I received was Natural, which is a bit darker than my actual skin tone. I have very pale skin so I thought the sample would be useless. I decided to try it anyway. I applied a very small amount by putting small dots of it on my face and blending it in with my fingers. The product looked quite dark beige, but when I began to blend it in, it looked absolutely fine with my skin tone. I didn't look orange or have any harsh lines...

Max perversion

Advantages: Good effects and an interesting twist to 3rd person gaming
Disadvantages: Gory scenes and graphics.

...Modern games find it necessary sometimes to display a warning sticker informing the potential customer that the contents of the game contain material that in not suitable for persons under the age of 18. With the increased realism and graphics, games have often been classified as 18 certificate. While normally I would laugh at such comments, I do feel that there is one game that has crossed this threshhold of taste and decency. Even a 18 certificate did not prepare me for this game. I will exlpain this later after talking about the game. Max Payne - Game play. It is a basic 3rd person shoot up. This means you play the character walking around the environment but see them from behind and not actually through the character’s eyes. This may take some getting used to. What I like about this game is the great usage of the “...

Review of Max Payne (PC)

Pepsi to the max

Advantages: Great Taste , Better than coke
Disadvantages: Might be too sweet for some

...* Pepsi Max * Pepsi Max , as they describe it themselves is a 'Low calorie cola flavoured soft drink with sweetners'. * Packaging * Pepsi max come in a plastic bottle with the pepsi symbol 'engraved' on the bottom along with ridges on the bottle. The plastic label has some shapes which i cannot identify in colours of black and dark blue. The pepsi is written in white capital and the mac is written in larger capitals in red. The pepsi symbol is below. On the bottle of the label are the words in white capitals with a red background ; Maximum Taste , no sugar. The lid is an 'open by hand' screw on lid. It's black and has the pepsi symbol on it. * Taste * The texture of the pepsi is very thin. It's very sweet (sweeter than coke). I like the fact that it's really sweet however I can understand why others may find it sickly...

Cujimmys Comprehensive Guide On Used Fords

Advantages: See opinion
Disadvantages: See opinion

...~ ~ Ever since old Henry Ford made the Model-T into one of the world’s first popular mass-produced cars, Ford have never been too far from the top of the manufacturer’s league. Today they produce a range of vehicles of all sizes and types, which they market internationally on every continent and in nearly every country on the planet. So it hardly comes as a surprise that here in the UK and Ireland Ford is the car of choice of literally millions of motorists. There are more used Fords on the second hand car market than any other marque, and it is these I am going to look at briefly here, in the form of a type of “guide” to what is available, and what are the “best buys”, that I hope will possibly prove of some use to anyone considering buying a used Ford. Escort <><><> ~ ~ The Escort first...
