My Scottish borders drive

Went out last night and made the most of the awesome weather by going on a random 100 mile tour to Hawick and back on the A7.. What a brilliant road! It's certainly highlighted the fact that my v6 needs attention to its brakes though, braking hard after the fast sections reveals a lacklustre pedal feel and bite and also a slight shaking through the steering wheel when braking, I'd guess is could be warped front discs??

Other than that, it was immense, the BMC roaring away and feeling the weight transfer through corners as the engine sings away behind you simply can't be beaten [smilie=yay.gif]

Anyways, here's the pics :race:

Simply cannot love this car enough, I'll have owned it exactly a year on the 27th of this month
 
Cheers Roy, plan is to order definately fronts, but possibly all 4 from RPD after payday!

Gonna be an expensive month lol :(

Get em whilst you can matey. Doddle to fit too :approve:
 
Yep, missed out on the new wheels group buy, I'm sure as hell not missing out on discs at £400 off per pair!!

I've noticed as well when braking hard, car tried to pull slightly to the left, could this be a stuck caliper or suchlike?
 
Yep matt, both new pilot sport 3 in December last year, both rears are pilot sport 2 with equal treads too

What's project awesome dawn??
 
Looks great Colin...

It's funny how red was out-of-favour circa 2004 and now is very much back in vouge...
I wonder what the Vee colour distribution would be if it was on sale now?

I suspect more reds and less silvers...
...and bugger-all IDs in this economic climate! :salut:
