    Saw this post on the 75 forum

    I reckon it would be great for moral should any one have to let their 260 go.
    Reckon it will go for the price of its accessories
    Must of died, now smitten in 260 heaven.

    Was thinking about it for just that reason - the accessories not 'cos I've got to let the 260 go

    I was looking at that last night, this kind of said it all though....

    Fuels savers (fully installed and working)

    So i wonder where the £1.50 ebay resistor is on the car? Looks a bit cheesey to me... why not just sell the 75 as it was and then buy an MG?

    Must admit I've always viewed with some suspicion people who stick inappropriate badges on there cars, I've seen an Audi A4 2.0tdi covered in S4, RS4 and V8 badges and just yesterday a fairly basic BMW 520i with a M5 badge on it! (In addition to the 520i badging!!).

    It makes you wonder what else they've done to it.

    Thats great fun that is, my mate dropped the T-series turbo in his bubble 200, but left the 214i badge on the back, great fun when the saxos were racing up the side and he let the dump valve off
