i ordered the yellow top yesterday from motor world for about £175, which i thought was quite a good price, but i havent seen it that cheap anywhere else. I asked the guy for the optima yellow top, but he never mentioned the name optima. Is there a different one copying the name, or did i just get it cheaper than other places ive seen?!

£175 is cheap for a yellow top, mine was £200 and now they have gone up to £220 at C.E.L. Dont worry, you dont HAVE to buy the thing if its not what youve asked for.
