Princeton Tec Switchback 1

Honda Civic Sport 1.6 V-tec, 3 door.

Advantages: Mans Car, Fast, Very Stylish, Economical
Disadvantages: Repairs,

My boyfriend bought this car in June 2006 (it was 1 year old at this point). He pays almost £900 for insurance with Arnold Clark (whom he bought it from - he was aged 22 at the time). That's fully comp, and includes business class 1 terms, so for his first car and own insurance policy (no other drivers), I think it's not too bad (insurance group 6). Elephant.co.uk have offered him a quote of almost £650 with 1 years no claims. Again, not too bad. I drive the car on occasion. It's maybe a bit slow off the mark (it can feel as though the gear grinds between 1st and 2nd), however, other than that it goes through the gears with ease. You can feel the power of the engine when the V-tec kicks in, at around 60 mph. The car has good fuel consumption. My boyfriend uses his car every day for work, quite a lot at weekends too, and he uses £35 ...

Blink & A Small Town Dies. But Princeton Thrives

Advantages: Vibrant small town with lots of charm
Disadvantages: Surrounding area being rapidly developed

, books. The local YMCA is a few blocks away and offers swimming, aerobics, and other fitness programmes for both members and visitors. DINING OUT Princeton is home to my favourite pizzeria in all the world! Old World Pizza first fired up their brick oven on the eastern edge of Nassau Street in 1998, and since then has been producing hundreds of mouth-watering pies each day. My slice of choice is the simple "margherita": tomato sauce topped with fresh basil and slices of fresh, water-packed mozzarella cheese. A range of other toppings, including various vegetables and meats is available. A slice of plain margherita costs $1.85; add one topping and the price rises to $2.15. Nearby, the Wild Oats organic market has a large deli with hot and cold dishes, salads and a fresh juice bar. For upscale dining, The Ferry House serves excellent ...

Fender Princeton

Advantages: Great looks, decent volume
Disadvantages: Volume control, clean tone controls

I bought a Princeton 112+ for £200 about 2 years ago, so the main point on the plus side for this amp is the value. Although its pretty small, this amp is a very loud 65W, and is perfectly loud enough for even large pub/club gigs. The amp is a 1x12" combo, with two channels and a master reverb control. The first channel (clean) only has controls for volume/treble/bass; while the distortion channel has gain/volume/treble/bass/contour. The contour control - similar to that on most Marshall Valvestates - works by shifting the range of the middle frequencies, so it does a bit more than a simple middle pot. Basically, turn it one way and the distortion sounds kinda bluesy, turn it the other way and you've got scooped thrash metal. I think the distortion is a bit crap, but you can get it to sound good with a lot of EQ tweaking - so it won ...
