Guess you could use the same applet for bikes, repair and accomodation since the basic information is:
Country, City, Address
Rating of quality 1-5
Date of relevance
Name of place
Description

I agree absolutely! In the plans going forward - once we solve the shipping system, there's loads more we can do. Sadly it all takes time.

I'd love too - please (ANYONE) post a suggested list of what SHOULD be on the left menu (and remember the number of times someone says "what's a ??" etc and everyone points to the left menu.)

Drop down's no, but yes, it desperately needs a restyle. Unfortunately I never said I was a web designer or graphics guy, and I'm the one stuck doing it - and quite frankly, I have little idea what to do with it.
I'm thinking put the bits of info into bits, perhaps a bit like the lower part of this page:
World business, finance, and political news from the Financial Times - FT.com UK (under "world") - but it's HARD!
Right now we're focusing on lots of other things, mainly the infrastructure of the site - lots more pages converted to the new system going live over the next week.
Main thing to note with the home page - we're restricted to the current layout because of everything else on the site, the CMS, vBulletin etc - so all we can really change is the main block of content. Anyone wants to take a stab at it I'd love to see it!
(Before anyone gets started contact me for the appropriate xhtml version and other details.)
Also any Drupal experts out there want to be involved, contact me! We have loads of work for you.
thanks for your interest and feedback! Grant
