Anybody know of a UK outlet for Optima Batteries, mate of mine is after a yellow top to run the continually growing number of TVs, amps, etc etc in his boy racer mobile??

Cheers

Andy

Any good car audio stockist should have them Try ebay, They come up cheap on there, andi think there is a dealer on there too. I have one in my 110, it came from my 205 Gti with all the bits (4 amps, tv, dvd etc)

Ive had it 5 years now, and still in tip top condition. :)

Yes we have tried Ebay, nice prices (almost tempted for my Disco) but they are all too big (physically) for his moter?

How about a normal battery, mask off the terminals and spraypaint the top yellow?

I've never got over the MG Maestro with the "roll cage" made out of plumber's waste pipe.

He may have to increase the size of the battery tray. They are small for the power they put out.

Alternatively, put one in the boot.

He needs model No. 8071-176 YTS2.7, this is allegedly smaller size, and will fit as a direct replacement??

How many stickers do I have on the jeep?

Jeeps don't need stickers to hold them together :D

And I'm quite happy with my factory standard nutty car too. (A whole year and still no points *Touches wood* )

EE :twisted:

Sharpshooter · « **Reply #17 on:** March 09, 2006, 15:52:34 »

Stickers wont stick to the poor yankie paint. Im not bothered if they hold it together.

It still goes through MOT's.

Do you mean the Toyota??

Had a great capri this morning. I suspect the curry had something to do with it. :lol: :lol:

OK, coat, door, taxi.. :roll:

Those who owned a capri loved them. They had the style, the girls and a fun to drive set of wheels. Those who didn't own were jealous.
