Say i was driving on the A50 to stoke at 13:44 on a saturday with a strong SE wind in slighty damp conditions and i applied a medium pressure to the brake pedal to stop the car whilst drinking some tea with too much sugar in but not enough milk and if i had six pot AP brakes with 355mm disks that had done 2304 miles in dry use only.

What distance would i cover before coming to a standstill?

42.768564 metres I'll think you will find......

Cheeers Mate!

Good to know someone has the knowledge.............

you can get 42.0 if you increase the sugar, something to do with sticky pads!

I think a more important question is at 70% humidity and -3 deg centigrade how long would it take for your rear windscreen to demist without the use of external aids?

Also you have to remember if you hit a tree you stop a lot quicker also spilling your drink

Tut tut - how can you say that - what about the fuel?

Remember Optimax is heavier than standard UL

Ah but how much re condensed water could you collect in a petri dish from the rear screen on a winters morning @-4 degrees whilst de icing the outside and also using the heated screen?

Ahhhh so it is heavier. Ok lets say i had 23.76555433333 (approx) litres of fuel in the tank.

you could use the condensed water from the rear screen to dilute the sugar and create syrup, then coat it on the brake pedal. That cuts another second off.

Of course i could always delpoy the drougue chute to slow my scoob even further.

If of course it hadent blown up last wednesday!

Was the tea early grey or normal. I find that drinking early grey drastically reduces the length of time that you need to brace yourself.

Sorry i was out of earl grey. Had to resort to typhoo instead.

Try Scottish Blend - better in wet conditions.

Or go into reverse and apply reverse thrust
