Advantages: Great special effects Disadvantages: Story line was weak
In geography we have been learning about climatic hazards and my teacher suggested that if we hadn't already seen this film that we watch it as a visual aid to help us for the exam. Being the conscientious student that I am, I asked my dad if he would hire it from Screen Select (as that's where we get most of our DVDs). Twister arrived on Tuesday morning so we settled down to watch it that evening.
~ A little bit about tornadoes ~
Most tornado activity is found in the USA. The air movements here are unique as three air masses meet causing lots of tornadoes to occur. The area is known as Tornado Alley. A tornado (commonly known as a twister) is a violently rotating column of air in contact with the ground that originated from the base of a cumulonimbus cloud.

Advantages: Good space, Fuel economy, adaptability Disadvantages: None found
I have recently bought my Mercedes ML 270 Cdi. on a 52 plate after trawling the market place for a BMW X5. My missus spotted this machine and we havent looked back.
The beast (I mean that in a loving term) has less than average miles, and is in metallic black, with chrome A Bar and Chrome sidesteps. STUNNING.
And with all the Kudos of Merc and as many additions as an X5, i am more than happy with my purchase.
It looks, drives and feels superb. I have a wife & 2 Kids, both in safety seats and 1 large german Shepherd doggy, and all are of the same opinion as me, this is one of the most comfortable cars i have driven or we have travelled in (Dog included).
Having my tribe rammed into the motor along with varying bits of baggage and there is still ample room for the pet to move around.
Fuel economy, I am getting approx 35 Mpg ...
Advantages: A car you feel you can go anywhere in the ML 270cdi Disadvantages: Brake pad and disk wear.
Truly a car you feel you can go anywhere in the ML 270cdi great to drive and very comfortable even with 7 passengers in place. Very good in town and on Motorway.
Beware petrol models are very very heavy on petrol.
The ML is shorter than our E class Saloon and the E class Estate so Parktronic is a useful extra but not essential.
The 270Cdi Diesel engine is surprisingly powerful with lots of torque and good economy similar to the mpg we get from our E200 auto 2ltr saloon.
Very easy to drive in town we live in central London the higher seating position improves visibility dramatically in town and it's become our preferred London transport.
Other road users keep their distance this helps to make for relaxed progress in one stressed out city, I think the dark privacy glass helps here.
Avoid the pre facelift cars and you are unlikely to ...
