Thank the lord for 6 pots !!!!
As some of you know I have these bad boys fitted on my classic
360mm AP discs, Porsche 6 pots and Tarrox pads. Now I knew these were good but today I found out just how good.
Was out for a drive in my car, found some nice twisty roads near Ramsey so was having some fun. Entered a tight right hander in 2nd and opened it up on the exit ( roads were completely clear and dry ), I noticed a drive way on the left up ahead so came off the loud pedal and moved to the middle of the road ( you never know ), was just coming up to the drive way so was getting ready to accelerate again when, yep you guessed it, a little old lady came flying out of the drive in her Nissan Micra. She came straight out, no looking whatsoever.
I stamped on the pedal as hard as I could and really thought it was game over but the brakes, oh their good. Stopped like nothing I've ever been in, stopped with room to spare. Unbelievable !!!! Thank god I wasn't going silly fast and saw the drive ahead.
The old gimmer didn't even stop, just drove up the road as nothing had happened. I however had to pull to the side and take a breath, lol.
Guys, I know big brake setups are expensive and the ones I have are £2000+, but Christ they are worth it.
And before you all start, I was well within the speed limit, thank god, lol.

No, sorry, but you're an idiot.
If you had normal brakes you'd be £2000 better off. In the case above you would probably almost have stopped but given the old dear a good clonk... enough to scare her into never driving again.
The repair bill would have bene less than £2000 hence you'd be in pocket and we'd have had one less hazard on the road.
So you see.....very selfish of you to get such good brakes.
