    @ ba barabus, gtv brakes are notoriously soft compared to most cars, I took a while to adjust to mine when I first got it.

    These felt like there was no servo. Very very bad.

    The pedal went to the floor but it had fluid. I was braking for a roundabout

    Could be air in the system or a bad master cylinder. If it is the master cylinder they should be much better if you hit the pedal quickly (the fluid has less of a chance to leak back past the seals). It could also be very bad flex lines that are stretching under pressure.

    As the car was parked up over grass I suspect the brake lines are rotten. They weren't too bad at low speeds but were next to useless at anything above 30mph.

    I'm starting to think I'd be better off saving my pennies and buying the minty 330Ci I looked at over the weekend. It's not going anywhere anyway.

    we have the opposite problem in my class nobody wants to be class rep. literally nobody will run for it and they will have to plead to get someone to do it for the year. in saying all that the guy that was our class last year was very good. other than that things here in cork are going well good to be back :) specially when were 10 down due to people failing repeats it can so easily happen.

    Have to give the focus a serious clean at the weekend its looking seriously unclean atm.

    theres always alot of drop outs in first year well at least there was in my course anyway. I suppose some people start the course and then just dont have the interest in it or find it too difficult.

    35 to 3 thats unreal must be a difficult course. my course wouldnt be that bad but id say only about 40% of people are left in general by the time 4th year comes.

    We went from 80 to 48. Considering 1200 put it as their first choice it must sicken some.
    Funilly enough, about 5 in my year had pharmacy as their first choice!

    Taunting first years is so fun!:D
