Ultimate fuel works in practice.

Advantages: Widely available. Excellent value for money. Kinder to the environment.
Disadvantages: Looks expensive, not all garages stock Ultimate diesel.

...With apologies to the expert who wrote superbly on "true" alternative fuels in this category, I'd like to recall my experiences using BP Ultimate fuel over the last 15 months. You may offer an argument that petrol and diesel, however brewed don't qualify as "alternative fuels" and yes I'd agree with you. However we are in the real world here, most of us who drive have to fill our cars with petrol, diesel or, in the case of an increasingly large minority, LPG (Liquid Petrolium Gas). Like the government energy adverts say what difference does one person make? From my own experiences using initially BP's Ultimate Unleaded petrol, latterly Ultimate Diesel I can tell you that we would all be capable now of making a difference - most importantly at no cost financially to ourselves. For me with two very diverse cars, this fuel has...

Review of Alternative Fuels

Trek...... This is fast

Advantages: fast, light, high spec for cheap price
Disadvantages: None

...be increased quite significantly to get anything that would last. I spent hours researching, joining forums (I highly recommend Bike Radar) etc in order to find the ideal bike in my budget. Whilst taking my trusty steed of a mountain bike to Pauls Cycles in Dereham I thought that I'd better have a quick look at the small selection of racers in the shop. It was there I saw it?? The Trek 1200 in black and red. I knew the Trek name and knew that they were generally a good, quality brand. That was it though. The price was £799 which was way over my budget, but because it was a 2006 model I could have something knocked off it. The bike was described as 'shop soiled' since it had fallen over and had a tiny scratch on the frame. If the bloke hadn't told me this I would never have noticed it despite looking over the bike thoroughly...

Review of Trek 1200

The best for storing camping fuels

Advantages: Robust and light
Disadvantages: Availability and the screw lid can become stiff

...In times gone by, I used to work in a shop that sold a lot of camping equipment. It was only a matter of time before the camping bug bit me. Having the advantage of reports of equipment used by customers gave me the opportunity to make sure I had the best kit for what I needed. Often I would cycle, so that would mean space and weight would play a major part in making sure that my camping experiences could be as pleasurable as possible. Part of the camping experience is cooking food outdoors, apart from having an open fire (something that most campsites do not like or allow), you will need something to cook food on. Now that leaves three main choices Solid Fuel - Normally either a fuel block that you light or a gel in a can. Bottled Gas - This is usually Butane gas stored in a pressurised container. Liquid Fuels - Normally...

Fuel (ps3) review

Advantages: superb graphics, nice features, track create
Disadvantages: many little bugs that you might notice, cheap AI

...Time to pump up your car with gas as you , explore Fuel, which has the worlds largest ever racing enviroment with a staggering 14,400 square kilometers. The game is set in post global warming America,beset by flooding, hurricanes typhoons and desertifacation, and in these deserted areas racers have gathered, with bikes, buggies, quad bikes, cars and monster trucks, all competing for the chance to win fuel. The gameplay is like most racing games, with checkpoint, cuircut, point to point, timed races, plus helicopter chases to choose between, or you could just cruise around the game, with its great enviromental effects, so far me myslef has experienced, thunder come down and set a tree on fire, crazy dirt pile ups and a typhoon. But as I always say no game is perfect, one of the more annoying desgins is that even though the world...

Review of Fuel (PS3)

Star Trek: Massively Overrated

Advantages: Swift plot development; suitable for nearly all ages.
Disadvantages: Terrible plot; unconvincing characters; indifferent acting.

...Among the first of this year?s summer blockbusters has been J J Abram?s new Star Trek movie, which has been widely regarded as having successfully brought this iconic franchise into a new century and to a new generation. The reviews have been overwhelmingly positive ? Ann Hornaday in the Washington Post wrote a prayer of thanks to the ?Lord of Star Trek? for a movie that ?has miraculously resurrected a wheezing but beloved and still relevant franchise?; the Daily Mail salutes ?the most outstanding prequel of all time?; and the Times celebrates ?a dazzling and beautiful rebirth? of Star Trek. The reviewers on Ciao so far give the film a full 5 stars, and the Internet Movie Database (IMDb) gives it 8.4/10 from over 75,000 ratings. Against this tidal wave of enthusiasm stands me. I don?t even have a sidekick to help me. I must alone...

Review of Star Trek

Oh my goodness - A Trek Movie that I loved!!!!

Advantages: A brand new storyline with definite tributes to the original Trek
Disadvantages: Not enough Nero!!!

...Being married to a Star Trek fan isn't easy. In fact it's blooming hard!! I could swear sometimes I know more about it than he does and it's scary! So to find out there was a new Star Trek movie coming out brought a sigh of "not another one" from me and a lot of excitement from himself. And as soon as tickets were available to order from the cinema, I had to get them in advance for the first night of showings as he decided it just would not do to go on the second night. And so the night came and hubby donned his precious star trek t-shirt for the momentous occasion. Thank goodness he didn't want to dress up as a character - I don't think I would have left the house! And so we went to the cinema and waited to be amazed by what was hyped up to be one of the biggest movies of this year. And I have to admit that I was not...

Review of Star Trek

Trek Returns!

Advantages: All the original cast return.
Disadvantages: Can be slow in parts.

...After the surprise cancellation of Star Trek in 1969 whilst it was in it's third season, the opportunity to resurrect Star Trek, following the more recent success of a certain science fiction film called Star Wars, was hard to resist. Paramount had a dilemma, how could they bring back the series in such a way that the audiences would take to this. The answer was simple, a follow on series called Star Trek: Phase II. Production designs were drawn up, scripts written, new sets were built and the original cast were reunited, well nearly all of them as Leonard Nimoy had originally refused to appear as Spock. At the eleventh hour, Paramount decided that the focus should not be a TV series but a big budget film that could rival Star Wars. This allowed all the cast including Nimoy as Spock to once again take their places on board the newly...

Review of Star Trek - The Motion Picture (DVD)

Star Trek - Alternately Outstanding

Advantages: Fantastic Action and spills, the effects are amazing and will pull in new fans
Disadvantages: None

...Star Trek.... well... first of all... I have not even seen the tv series (original or the next frontier) or have i seen ANY movies. (well 1/4 of a movie and i'll say.... i got parts of the movie i saw but not much (FYI it was Star Trek: Nemesis). Moving to my point.... Star Trek.... Was.... The Worst film if you dispised all actions and thrillers, but one of the BEST films of the decade if you love actions and thrillers like me! I was actually worried that I wouldn't get the plot of the film, but surprisingly enough, I did and i really enjoyed the film. WARNING: Like all my reviews, I reveal the beginning, so if you do not wish to know, please just scroll past the next two paragraphs. As the USS Kelvin becomes attacked by the Narada (a Romulan mining ship), all the crew members evacuate. The current captain is asked...

Review of Star Trek

Star Trek, maybe it should have been left alone

Advantages: Okay if you don't think too hard about it
Disadvantages: Plot holes and poor acting

...I was a bit wary of watching this film, because I really enjoyed the later Star Trek films, and wasn?t sure a prequel was a good idea. Synopsis The story follows James Kirk from the events of his birth and his yearly years, but mainly concentrates on his first voyage on the Starship Enterprise. It also follows the life of Spock and how he was an outcast both on Vulcan and Earth due to his mixed parentage. Spock as we all know also ends up on the Enterprise. Early in the film Kirk is accused of cheating on a test, and during the enquiry a distress call is received from Vulcan and Starfleet respond by sending off the fleet to investigate. Despite the fact Kirk is suspended he sneaks on the Enterprise as it heads off. The ship is being run by all new recruits apart from the captain, so it sets off later than the rest...

Review of Star Trek

A New Beginning, A New Future?The New Star Trek

Advantages: 127 mins of sheer warp speed adventure. The best Star Trek ever an outstanding movie
Disadvantages: Not enough of it you want more

...Someone told me the other day that ?People who like Star Trek are nerds!? The ensuing conversation brought up words like geek, weird, odd and resulting in my colleagues announcing that I am on another planet; with a black hole for a brain. It really gets on my goat when a handful of tactless people make those daft sorts of comments. A Facebook contact cheered me up saying ?It?s true...but being a nerd, geek or weird is something to be proud of! Who would want to be a dim, colourless, corporate drone?? I agree therefore I will stand up proudly and say, ?I AM A NERD AND? I LIKE STAR TREK? I, like millions of other people. Don?t get me wrong, I am not one of those fans who swat up on the techno-babble or know specific dimensions and details, I don?t dress up as my favourite character. I have never been to a convention although I did...
