My 1144's only lasted 3/4's of a lap at the 'ring (had the pedal smack the bulkhead), did have Stef's green scoob behind me at the time though.

Definately recommend Ferodo DS2500's both front and rear.
FRP 3067 fronts and FRP3068 rears for Brembo 4 & 2 pot calipers I think?

I can recommend the following main UK agents.
Circuit Supplies Ltd (Leighton Buzzard but free delivery) for Ferodo's.
Questmead Ltd (Rochdale) for Mintex.

MDM, hope you enjoy it, the track and beer is simply the best.

My Nordschleife Bridge to Gantry times.
10.07 mins' Puma 1.4 (Hertz, air con' OFF)
9.38 min's Focus 1.6 (Hertz, long brake pedal & knackered tyres courtesy of Tony Quinn)
8.21 min's RS500 (380bhp, traffic and a few other pathetic excuses)

Cheers, Stuart
