Advantages: Greater functionality and ease of use
Disadvantages: Price

...This review is based on my experiences of using this product. It is not an in-depth look at its specification. This is a general review on the CDJ-1000MK3, and a comparison with the MK2. First, a little about my use of the product. I have been djing for over four years now, and started off on a pair of Numark turntables playing vinyl. As the times changed in line with the digital revolution, I, as well as other aspiring dj's, needed to start playing with digital equipment playing cd's. I have never owned a CDJ-1000 but have had extensive use of them in clubs and round at my friends house. Pro's Well where can I start? Firstly I would like to make it clear that the MK3's are the industry standard throught the club scene - any decent club night will have at least two of these installed. This is due to many things. The sound... Read review

Advantages: Solid economical car with great potential
Disadvantages: abused ones can rust very badily.

...I bought my XR2i in 1996 for £3500. I was young and mad on modifying cars. What you will read will truly blow you away. My car was a standard 1990 'G' plate, in flame red. The paintwork was tired with no evident damage, all bodywork was fine with no loose fittings. It had the standard check dot grey trim. It did not have the luxury of the recaro seats as in the RST. I drove it around for a couple of months and it was fairly good. Strong on the motorways and practical around town, although it lacked punch. I put it on the rolling road and it was only making 70bhp, down 30 from the 105 standard. This sunny saturday afternoon in 1996 was the catalyst to nearly 4 years of dedication. The beauty of the Mk3 fiesta is it is popular and there are thousands around. All car and motor factor companies reproduce aftermarket car... Read review

Advantages: SUITABLE FOR THE DISABLED VISITOR/UNDER ONE ROOF
Disadvantages: CAN GET VERY BUSY ESPECIALLY AT CHRISTMAS

...As a resident in Milton Keynes I visit the Centre MK on a regular basis, and thought I would update you on what's happening. Firstly the Centre MK is all on one level, which makes it easier for wheelchair users and mums with buggies to get around. The Centre is split into 4 main shopping areas and 2 leisure areas: The original part which is about 1/2 a mile long with two main walk ways either side with Marks and Spencer one end and John Lewis the other. A large square area near to John Lewis called Middleton Hall is where the Christmas displays & exhibitions take place. The Christmas display always delights young and old. The Food Hall which is adjacent to the main building on the open market side contains mainly Supermarkets and some specialist food & wine stores. The theatre area is the place to go if you want restaurants... Read review

Advantages: Has a certain Kudos, you look at it and go...yeah thats ok!
Disadvantages: Not the fastest motor you can buy in its class

...I still own and run a Mk3 Cavilier, its my going to Work and Asda run about. (My work Horse). I bought it 3 years ago for £1000 from a dodgey back street garage. It only had 47k on the clock and for a M plate...that wasnt bad. Now let me tell you...its paid for itself twice over since then. These machines are like unstoppable.....they just go and go. The body work never rusts, the engine hardly burns any oil. Christ only knows what Vauxhall treated the paint work with in order to prevent corrosion. Must have been toxic waste from some nuclear reactor somewhere. What ever they done it worked. The engine is a 1.8 injection. The only problem with this is a lack of power, the 8v engine produces about 90bhp which is not much for a large car. Excellant fuel economy however. Escpecially with the price of petrol the way it is. Poor... Read review

Advantages: Quite Spacious, Alot Of Modifying Can Be Done!
Disadvantages: Can Be Quite Problematic

...i just had too! COST How much? well she originally put the ad up for £650 but she had reduced before i came so all i had to hand over was £400 smakers! i was well chuffed about that, now the car is sitting at home with me and i love the thing, i have installed a speaker system, cd player. I have pulled the dent out of the car, resprayed all the scratches on the car and took the badges off, changed the wheel trims and now it looks great. The ford fiesta MK3 is the perfect modifying car and im going to have so much fun in doing this little baby up, my advice is to go and get one for yourself, especially a Ghia, they are great!...

Advantages: same turntable at home as in the clubs
Disadvantages: heavy

...Technics 1200 / 1210 what more can you say its the number one DJ turntable on the planet. For years and years when i was younger just geting in to Djing all i wanted was a pair of technics. after a few years with other direct drive decks i finally saved enough money to buy a pair i of technics, i bought the SL1200Mk2 because they were silver i did not like the brown of the 1210 much. i have read around and talked to people and aparently the only difference between the 1200 and the 1210 is the colour. I set up my new 1200s and got the tunes out. Wow what a turntable, after years of trying out all other types of direct drive turntables i could instantly see and feel the difference in build quality. the technics weight alot compared to any other turntable, this is because the bottom black base you see is not made of cheap moulded...

Advantages: easy to use, maintains heat, great for all hair types, durable, handy size for travelling
Disadvantages: mite be bit costly for the younger customers, but defenately a great value for money

...i was introduced to straighteners approximately 3 years ago and always brought remingtons, but found they were becoming less and less reliable. as i have thick bushy, frizzy hair i was using the straighteners at least once a day and started to find that this brand of straighteners were only lastng on average around 8 months, with one of the 'better' and more expensive pairs lasring only 5 months, so i was brought the GHD summer bag as a gift, containing the MK4 straighteners and the hair products, i believe they are with out a doubt the most reliable straighteners i have ever used and they produce the bes results. i can now straighten my hair in the morning and have it stay remarkably straight all day, with out having to 'go over it' before going out in the evening, and when i was spending over half an hour straightening my hair...

Advantages: Quick, Cheap, Reliable, Great looking car
Disadvantages: Like all cars of its age rust is a problem

...I Love my Toyota MR2 mk1 T-BAR 1988. For its age it feels and looks better than anything I see on the roads nowadays. The styling of older cars was retro with all the cool vents and square shapes etc. Now u just get curves and all new cars look the same and are all about comfort and safety. I bought my MR2 in February for a measly £700. It needed work so I got all rust off and a complete respray for £450 from my local garage in Alrewas, he was very helpful and if anybody wants his contact number please get in touch with me. Very nippy 1.6 Engine, Great styling and classic car insurance. What more could you want. Great fun :) Being a Toyota it is also easy to get the parts despite the age. I would not recommend going direct to Toyota as the parts are a small fortune, try internet searches and local garages etc. i found toyota... Read review

Advantages: Reliable, Economical, Build Quality, Badge
Disadvantages: Head Gasket

...Mk 2 (round lights) and Mk 3 (square lights) Polo 1.05ltr The Volkswagen Polo 1.05 is the car I would and have bought in times of crisis. I owned my first 1.05 when I was 17, a C reg 1985 silver saloon (the height of fashion!) that cost me £775 8 years ago. This car lasted me 2 years before a tree sent it to car heaven. I can safely say that before its run in with the tree, this car was one of the strongest most reliable car I have ever owned. The car had covered over 100,000 miles and on inspection of the pistons and cylinder head, the engine looked to be in perfect condition. The only reason for the removal of the head was because I though the head gasket was leaking oil, which is a very common fault on these engines, although after a days work I found out it was only the fuel pump that had sprung a leak and cost less...
