Advantages: Good prices, good conditions, good cars, only £100 deductible
Disadvantages: No CD player in our car! They gave our home address to the guy we bumped into.

...(Please note that this category was requested to be in the car rental section, since I only am reviewing Arnold Clarke's car rental service which happens to be through the Bespoke Highland Tours web page. I have no knowledge of any of Bespoke's other services and this is why I asked Ciao to add this category under car rental and nowhere else.) When we went to Scotland, we had to rent a car. After some investigation, my husband found Bespoke Highland Tours was renting out cars via Arnold Clarke. Since their rates seemed reasonable, and especially because their deductible was far lower than EasyCar, we decided to go with them. Here's what we thought. First of all, the biggest problem is finding their offices. We arranged to rent a car in Edinburgh and that's where our first problem came. They aren't located very close... Read review

Advantages: Tourmaline plates give better protection to hair
Disadvantages: None except price

...£100+!) I checked out the details with SDLhair, who distribute this make. I spoke to a very helpful lady who confirmed that yes, it really was all true, the T3 is the latest and best model. The plates contain Tourmaline crystals which are crushed into the ceramic plates enabling them to produce a higher level of negative ions. Tourmaline is an expensive precious stone which apparently posseses unique ionic and infrared properties giving the hair a shinier and healthier finish! Well that did it for me, so I tracked down the best deal on the internet with Salonlines.co.uk...£155 for a T3 Mark 2, 1" pair of straighteners and....errm....the matching T3 hairdryer..well I had to get the matching hairdryer!.. and it's brilliant too, but this review is about the straighteners. The Next Day The delivery driver arrives..whoo hoo... Read review

Advantages: QUICK. EASY, DOES NOT DAMAGE HAIR
Disadvantages: ABIT PRICEY, TAKES A WHILE TO COOL DOWN

...When my KODO straighteners were dropped and the ceramic plate cracked, they still worked but where my hair was catching in them was becoming quite painful so I set about to purchase some new straighteners and phoned every local hair salon for advice where I received differant info. from each but ghd and t3 were two of the most frequently mentioned. Both similarily priced at around £105- £120, although I was told that T3 were GHD's replacement but I do not know how true this is. I looked through as many reviews and web sites as I could find comparing the two and eventually spoke to a lovely lady on Salonlines who said both makes were much the same except t3 were newer and because of the ions were quicker and far kinder to your hair and with a 2 year guarantee I went for them and received them the following day! Beware of where you... Read review

Advantages: Don't damage your hair,easy and light to use, 2 year guarantee
Disadvantages: None that I can think of

...I've just got to tell you about T3 Straighteners they are the best straighteners I've ever had. My hair is quite thick and about shoulder length and my GHD's just could not cope with it and damaged my hair quite badly.The ghd's also went bust twice in 6 months and it was a nightmare getting them replaced...their after sales service is terrible. My hairdresser uses T3 Straighteners and hair dryers and she recommended I use them she told me that lots of hairdressers have now changed to them because they are so kind to the hair and more reliable than any of the others. They do cost more than some of the others but these are professional straighteners that are guaranteed for 2 years and have floating plates and are just beautiful to look at in black with white plates and diamonte studs in the handle. They are also really light... Read review

Advantages: All my 'techy' interests in one spot
Disadvantages: Only 120 pages of real articles for £3.50

..., with the upsurge of mp3 music files, downloadable from the web, it becomes a distinct possibility to store a whole record collection of CDs on one PC hard disk, which when linked through its sound card to your hi-fi won’t sound too shabby, compared to the originals. I know my lounge would look a damned sight larger (and tidier) if it wasn’t for 600 CDs on racks. Whilst magazines like What HiFi and PC Advisor touch on these subjects, they only really skirt around the edge. During this past week, I’ve been relaxing in North Norfolk, and in between bouts of bird watching, reading – anything that comes to hand. This included the March edition of T3, short for Tomorrow’s Technology Today, a magazine that I have only bought once before. I’d bought this copy it a while ago, forgot about it, rediscovered it and took it with me, ‘just in case... Read review

Advantages: The best on the market! Brilliant job on any type on hair.
Disadvantages: Quite expensive but worth it (I think anyway)

...as a frizzy mess anyway! Then I tried a friends GHD's and thought they were the best ever, the answer to my prayers! So I went on a hunt for the cheapest offer, this took a few months but whilst looking I stumbled across an advert for the latest innovative hair straighteners on the market; the T3 tourmaline wet-to-dry. I didn't know anyone with these straighteners but I really liked the sound of them, especially the fact you can just jump out of the shower and straighten from wet. I read up on them and everything said was very positive. I know they are expensive (almost £100) but I was gonna spend that much anyway on the GHD's. So, my hunt started again but this time for the T3 iron. It didn't take long for me to find a good offer. I waited a couple of days for them to arrive and when they did I wasn't disappointed. I tried them that day... Read review

Advantages: Practical, fun, camper, comfortable, easy to service.
Disadvantages: Upgrades are expensive, can be costly to run if you do ALOT of miles.

...I've use to only own VW's, one reason for this is other VW users are always friendly, parts are easy to buy and cheap, as long as you know where to look. And if you look after it you should sell it pretty easily, for not much less than you bought for. This was my third VW. I thought about buying a T2 baywindow camper but after getting into one of these, I changed my mind! The T25/T3 is huge, in comparison. They're cheap..if you look at the other campervans, usually similiar year, milage and size you'll be spending thousands more! But why should you? Spares are easy to get, although up-grades are very expensive. So make sure if you want power steering+electric windows you buy it with the camper and not try to find someone who'll fit it for you, as it'll eat up your hard-earned cash. I bought a Holdsworth conversion, left sliding... Read review

Advantages: Good safety
Disadvantages: front door design fault

...We brought a brand new Toyota Corolla T3 hatchback from a local dealer last September when there was a special offer i.e. slight reduction in price. When we were test-driving the car (slightly older model), it was good with power-steering, sensitive brakes and air-conditioning respond very fast. It was a hot and sunny day and within a minute of pressing the button, cold air was already filling the car. Excellent. The trim looks good and the price was reasonably good 12k sterling before the haggle begins. The dealer was quite helpful as well for obvious reasons. Once we have got the slightly newer version of it. It look slightly different. The main change is curtain air-bag at the side. These curtain air-bag will protect you from side-impact - good safety feature to have with the car is already renowned for its safety... Read review

...T3 I have to give it to this magazine, it’s brilliant. Really living up to it’s slogan “Tomorrow’s Technology Today”. After a long time of waiting I finally got the subscription I wanted with this magazine from a friend of mine who owns a shop. Every issue I’ve had so far as had the latest technology, ratings and loads more. Although this magazine seems only available through subscription or via ordering it at your local newsagents, at £3.25 a month it’s really worth it. You’ll be ahead of everyone else technology wise in no time. One Thing I am Disappointed in, is the way they mostly only seem to review Tv equipment, Audio equipment and Mobiles. They don’t seem to have much on anything else, although they are starting to get into the robot’s and digital cameras quite... Read review

Advantages: Brilliant results, Temperature dial, Light, Easy to use.
Disadvantages: They are so good that you won't want to be without them!

...I was a little confused when trying to decide which ceramic straigheners to buy. At first I was going to go for GHD as they are a very popular brand....However don't follow the crowd, try T3 Tourmaline straighteners by HairArt. These straighteners are made from 100% crushed Tourmaline mineral. Which in the words of 'Jasonshankey.co.uk' means: 'A precious stone, Tourmaline works by itself, just like a magnet. It naturally emits the most negative ions and infrared heat possible. This means you get the best results, and the silkiest, shiniest, healthiest hair imaginable. Guaranteed.' I certainly get silky and shiney hair after using these straighteners, and apparently Tourmaline straighteners are less damaging on the hair than normal ceramic straighteners (like GHD). Therefore this is one thing that makes these straighteners... Read review
