ORIGINAL: Andy Fagan Great day at Oulton Park again today!! It was nice to meet up with old friends and some new including Mr D who came down and it was good to meet up and put a face to the name

It was a shame Cecil didn't make it, and was a duly missed Spyderman [

] Track was very slippery in the morning but I have to say all of the brake mods I did paid off and the brake pedal was perfect all day. Now all that's needed is some work on the driver, although I've been trying to repair the nail marks Rob K left on passenger side of my dash [

] I'm downloading a very long vid which will be boring to most who weren't on the track at the time but you'll see how slippery the track was in places (Which seemed to changed lap by lap) but I'll post a link to it for anyone who wants a watch later. It was good to meet a few CR owners 5 including Mr D and myself!!

Thanks Andy. Sounds and looks like I missed a good day, and the passenger ride I have been thinking about since you upgraded[

] Glad to hear the brake upgrades work well. Here's a thought that might
help you be contented with steel discs[

]. When I was thinking of switching to a turbo, I saw what was almost the perfect car for me. The only thing that was making me reconsider that particular car was the PCCB's. I'm all for them technically, but I felt as if the cost risk hanging over me was going to nagging at me a little whilst owning it. I like to use my brakes (well, you like to use yours more than me [8D] ) and if you're unlucky with premature wear, gravel damage or a clumsy wheel fitter catching one, the costs are huge. I found different suggested costs across the internet, so I won't quote any of them as I don't know which is accurate but it certainly looked like a 5 figure sum to replace all 4 corners. If anyone knows the true cost, please state. I know some will say just change them to steels if something happens but then you're back where you could have started but OK, with bigger six piston calipers. For me, if i'm honest, I never buy anything would make me wince if I had to spend on it, so I walked away as I know I couldn't afford to deal with an unfortunate incident with a ceramic disc and I don't like to go backwards once i've gone forwards. That's not everyone's position, but I think i'd be able to enjoy the car more without thinking how loose the road surface is (i've never been off into the gravel at a circuit!). A bit too pessimistic for some I know, as the discs are proving very reliable if treated right. I just like to be able to drive my car anywhere and anyhow without thinking about it. If I was doing low mileage and not using it as a daily driver or the car was not going to be kept for more than a few years, i'd have them.
