Today down at the Rotherham show, I visited to look at the vintage car rally. I had to park next to a group of young gentlemen privately parading their cars who appeared to have hearing problems. The car next to me was a 12 reg Fiesta which was very striking with polished black paintwork, blacked out windows, painted front calipers, huge bore exhaust and adorned with stickers advertising shock absorbers. It was very much a Lud style car and he must have have spent quite a bit. It must have been a base model blinged up to its ST equivalent but what stood out to me (although probably not to him) was the tiny drum brakes hiding behind the equally large stealth black dustbin lid alloys.
Now I've got nothing against drum brakes and they work just as good if not better but I thought all cars had discs all round for the last ten years? My last two and present mid-late 90's cars have had rear discs. I think discs just look better if they are available.
I do think that handbrakes aren't very good with discs from experience and handbrake turns aren't as good :)
Just a thought!
