Ok the bits aren’t brilliant but they maybe of some use to someone!

Why not use 'Turbo' in the title to increase search possibilities? I have done the same with my old KAD and MED stuff - so why not?

People sell all sorts of shit on eBay - just because you might notice something is not perfect in your eyes why should you ridicule it?

Actually I have a good idea: He is getting rid of all his old crappy mini stuff to make way for a decent car? One that doesn't require a rebuild every 5 seconds, struggles to get 200bhp - for one with 450bhp?

Just a though? (I think it is true)

This forum has some very useful information on it, however from time to time thos of us that come on here regularly like to take the piss, and poke fun at things. That is how it is so don't take offence every time you don't like what you read, everyone is entitled to their OPINION.

I used to have a mini once upon a time - an MED 1380 turbo sold recently on ebay. I know the guy who is selling the mini parts and he helped me a lot (he used to run a mini se7en team) and is a good friend so I though I would stick up for him!

Next time don't send the person you are slagging off a link to your forum.

Happy driving, and sometimes I do wish I still had my Turbo Mini, just to piss off a few subaru's!

Ooh, this post is exciting.

I'm with dave. Why the fuck would you put Turbo in an add for non turbo stuff. It's like when I do a search for 'G60' or 'Golf Rallye' items on ebay, and people have put totally unrelated golf bits with 'not G60' or whatever in the title.. wankers.

Makes me wanna stab people..

As for 'Dont bother looking on ebay then' that's a bit lame.. these days there isn't really any better place to look for mini bits, and even more so for dave, as the mini isnt exactly the biggest seller over there.

just do a search on ebay for 'mini turbo' in the automotive section - a huge list of 32 items! wow that must take all day to sift through:

http://search.ebay.co.uk/mini-turbo_Automo...atZ9800QQsojsZ1

Suppose it might take someone who cannot read a long time to go through the list??

Somewhere around Swindon

someone said it was a steaming pile of horse shit ... well described in my opinion

ive thrown away better parts that that $hit

there is no reason to put turbo in the title unless you are trying to rip someone off!
