its not the same tho, who wants to manually subscribe to every thread? on vB you post and it subscribes you instantly so you can view all threads you have replied to. afaik you can't do that with CS, but tbh i havent seen this forum software anywhere else so hardly used to it...

the same setup can be had for your car. its not vag, its aftermarket uprated big brake kit from k sport with hel braided lines. nothing to do with skoda/vag.
same brakes on my mates M3..
edit: oh wait thats mates fez ST.
on this M3 anyway, warren fitted them

to be honest thats worst attempt at trolling i have ever heard.
if its not trolling and there is any element of truth in that you really should grow up a bit, one day karma will bite you in the arse bigtime.
drive safe.

you are a full on fucking idiot and you make yourself look like a complete moron, why people would even think its safe or OK is beyond me.
all i know is if someone hit someone in my family or circle of friends in a car doing 140 and it was found out he done this speed knowing they had no brakes i would hope they live with that forever.
your not god you imbecile and you are not even smart enough or intelligent enough to predict the unpredictable, i nearly hit a pissed man on the motorway once walking across the M4 , fuck knows how you would plan or predict that?

Just to confirm, did you drive the car after the brakes failed?
I thought you were recovered?

So you were recovered home with total brake failure, decided it was fine, went out again, drove to the motorway, did 140, took a pic.

you get even better and better
have you ever thought of going to a car makers and telling them a car drives fine doing 140mph with just the handbrake, you could make a fortune
i would love the police to get hold of you

before i could drive i used to have to get a lift to work with this guy that had an old astra estate mk3 shape.
all 4 shocks were totally gone and he had to brake with the handbrake, used to come down this massive hill and have to stop right at the base of it, all done with handbrake

its actually safer that you have practised this, instead of finding yourself on the motorway with no brakes and having to handbrake brake for the 1st time ever
in fact those who have never tried are the inresponsible ones
bit like left foot braking, if your foot ever fell off while driving, what would you do?
