   mattc has a B&M that was pretty good, as said though, 90 quid for that seems alot.

   i saw a griffin one go for £35 on ebay a couple of weeks ago, it was for a 106 so wasnt sure if it would fit a saxo. ive got a B&M TAS style quickshift and i think they are worth every penny

    Griffiths with a b&m would be the ultimate quickshift but makes it too hard to put into gears!!
