I really hope one day you get caught doing 140MPH and have the book thrown at you.

Roll towards light? yet you go through more pads than a girl on menstruation.

I would also like to know which track you can get to 140mph on!

In my Redline feature the hybrid one (running same spec as Luke's Fabia) got to 130mph after about 2-2.5miles.

Was that a standing start??

If not then that dosn't sound all that impressive.

Not with the way you seem to big them up anyway.

By the time a cast iron brake disc is up to a temperature hot enough to consider bending it, it will be starting to melt.

Cast iron is brittle, it will crack or shatter b4 it bends.
