That was good going............

We headed off at 11.30, and were home at 2.30 - you must have been flying...........

Same roads as yesterday morning too, through Westport............

We were wondering if you got away on time after the late night disturbance, and the phone call from the 'Gardai' ?

Roads were clear to Westport and not any real traffic until after Enniskillen, so it was a good drive

I didn't take any call from the Gardai...

Hmmm. I see it's the same ol same ole in here

Jim - congrats on the landmark - great post too

Ann's manky DS/B Works has forced me back onto M2. The pads need replacing so I am considering Works brakes. Have W's given you a quote recently Washy - the group buy has set my expecations at around £750 but I know they can come up with some unique prices.

You aren'y a saudi arabian oil sheik by any chance Andy?

Pads are worn out, so you change the whole brakes?

My first instinct was to trade the whole car in

Anyway - better than changing them when there is still life left in the stock brakes surely

If I pay the £150 or whatever the going rate is for new pads I only get what I had before - it's a bit like when we got the aero kit (now with stone chips like everyone else BTW) after the front & rear bumpers were totalled.

It makes sense in my world - but if the "panel" think it's a mistake I'll have a re-think.

Bigger brakes are always good - I had cause to need them recently.............

You may see on the MtM thread there are no pics of my car - due to an incident I had week before last........

Sounds worrying - I'll have a quick look back to save you repeating the story for me.
I am assuming / hoping that it's just car damage and not people damage
