Thanks for the comments on the LS7 Tuscan chaps 
I run standard brakes but some more aggressive pads...I did look into running bigger brakes but the company who did the conversion (Topcats Racing) advised against despite it meaning more money in their coffers...the car is nominally heavier than standard (still well under 1200kg with a full tank) so more likely we'd have problems getting them up to operating temperature in normal use. Did anyone spot the front discs on the P1 BTW?
I did, Huge weren't they and a few others had massive discs too, though backed up by fancy ABS most likely.

The Akebono discs on the P1 are fabulous. McLarens Formula 1 supplier I understand,Unique perfectly smooth high gloss finish looks amazing.
As far as the others go, Ceramics tend to be quite a bit larger than equivalent steels , partly because they are lighter in the first place so the extra size isn't prohibitive and partly because of other issues.
The Porsche PCCBs are the absolute dogs danglies though, best brakes I have tried on any car and I've owned 3 cars with them on. Not just stupidly powerful but wonderfully modulated and great when trickling through town just as much as going for it on the B660.

The RS sounded fantastic. I think it must have been you I saw at Silverstone classics? Similar sound and same colour (best colour combo IMO) A friend was there in his Riviera Blue GT3 (RS wing and splitter) I think he had sharkwerks exhaust on that.
Just editing my video now. Similar to TFJJ's but with a fair fewer cars.

So a lot of you saw me playing around with this baby at the meet
Here's the result, as you can imagine, a lot of panning shots
, its the first video I've made so hopefully it didn't turn out too bad, certainly a learning experience!

Another great vid Munch, love the Morgans tank slapper, a small amount of poo may have escaped there 
Not the first time my RS has been on one of yours Chris, you have me leaving Reading Services in the middle of the Wilton House mob. Now that was an amazing bunch of cars that day.

Ahh yes, will have to watch that video again now, but sure the sound sure does carry!
