Hey now, we drove for a good 30 minutes are 75-80k with no issues, I thought he was going to take off after getting by a slow car but little did I know there was a small bump on the road which he decided to brake for, I stopped in time... And in a cloud of smoke.
Quite embarrassing, must have looked worse for the lads coming around the corner and not seeing why had happened.
That was a great day, some drive out, probably one of the best times I've had in my car.0 -

Unless the rear of your car came off the ground, I've seen worse!
Brake bias in an ITR is shocking altogether :pac:0 -

I'll have to put it to the test, keep in mind the Almera was in full on expedition mode, it had the clearance of a Range Rover.
Sorry about that.
I'm used to taking that stretch fairly flat out.
Watching DGT crawl behind us after Sally Gap was priceless, we had about ten minutes to spare waiting for the pair to catch up.challengemaster wrote: »Unless the rear of your car came off the ground, I've seen worse!

Implying my brakes had a setting between gradual stop and skid. :pac:
Absolutely shocking tyres on it, top shelf stuff from now on!0 -
