I'll leave the argument of driving style & cooking brakes, just that most people I know who really drive the cars on these roads always upgrade the brakes....2hrs of solid driving on these roads is worse than a track event...twisty as hell & up & down...go look at google for the A939 near bridge of brown, or c o c k bridge....or the ferness bridge.....or the lecht...

Totally agree with you on this one, in reality on track when its your own car lift and coast as prolonged B roads just keep the temps up there

I had some tuition in a M4 at Oulton and it was all data logged and then pointed out lift and coast, aftercare was braking later and 10mph quicker on each straight and even the APs were making their voice know, would I have driven my car that hard, no

My main beef is the callipers as just no real pedal feel on VWs

I was eyeing up the matt bronze Revo wheels sandtrap is selling in the classifieds but too many other demands at the moment. And I do love the Santiagos so I really shouldn't...

I've been eyeing them up too. Anyone want a brand new set of GTD wheels with new PS4 tyres? :whistle:
