Lada Riva, Da! Spasiba!

Advantages: Die Hard Car
Disadvantages: Well, Its a Lada.

Truth be told, Ive never actually owned one, I would never admit it, but Ive been in quite a few. This is the car made from scrap sardine cans, yet can run on Vodka, that is because, of course, it is Russian made! (In Russia, its called the Zhiguli) In most former soviet countries, including the UK.... ur, sorry, slip of the tongue, we are of course still under a communist Dictatorship (I jest) you will find a Lada Riva, or its variant, or indeed, a Lada Riva Chasis, with things welded to it, driving around at full pelt. The Engine Rev counter only needs 2 settings for display, Engine off, and Full Revs, as Ive certainly never seen a Lada of any description operating under differing circumstances. Lada is the trademark of AvtoVAZ, a Russian car manufacturer.. It was chosen for exports over the domestic Zhiguli brand, but ...

Old fashioned RIVA TNT

Advantages: Good picture quality (relative to the specs), good price and performance
Disadvantages: Old fashion

1. Creative Graphics Blaster RIVA TNT in brief? I know it?s a bit old, and I know also that almost no one will think of buying this product any more, however I?ve been using the TNT for a bit long time before I bought my new Graphics Card, so I felt like writing something about my old buddy. It?s a very good card by the way, and in its time, I considered it one of the most good graphics card. My card was a PCI not AGP, so it?s a bit old fashioned but still was a great performer until its last day. Anyway, talking about the card, it?s a 16MB old graphics card (SDRAM).Ah and by the way, it was considered sometime the best 2D/3D combo card on the market. 2. Product Specifications ? Interface: Either PCI or AGP (but in my case PCI, and honestly I don?t know the difference in the performance and stuff between both) ? Installed ...

Hotel International

Advantages: Location, breakfasts
Disadvantages: Poor rooms

I recently went on a cultural girlie trip with a friend to Paris. I was left to do all the booking. I was looking for a reasonable hotel, near a metro stop, which included breakfast. I came across the Hotel International on various travel sites and it seemed fairly highly rated so I booked us in for three nights. LOCATION: The hotel is located 6 Rue Auguste Barbier in the 11th Arrondissement. The nearest Metro stop is Garcourt which was a two minute walk away and it was a five minute walk to Republique which gives good links to other lines. It's not really central enough to avoid the Metro and walk to the attractions but it was located so close to a stop that it seemed ideal. PRICE: Prices vary depending on size of room and season. There are singles, doubles and triples available. We paid Euro254 for the whole time ...
