Thought you said you have never seen brake dust on scuds Porsche etc or am I being thick again 
My Scud is pearl white and never noticed brake dust on the rims or the lower body Diablo SV is yellow same again never seen brake dust on that
Finally Porsche 964 turbo is in red with bbs lm wheels and as above no brake dust
Had many many supercars and performace cars yet never seen brake dust like this

pads in the Sag are Mintex F2 which are good for track use yet do have a tendency of squealing
Excellent track pad but squeals like hell and the dust will destroy the wheel coating - need to get the dust off ASAP. Pure road use I would try a Mintex 1144 (I don't like Ferodo)

Car stops fine and free from binding as you said maybe its the pads
The previous owner looked after the Sag extremely well so i cant see Graham overlooking such importance
Ive sent a text to Graham asking which pads he used
Thank you all for your input
Other than the brakes, how are you finding Sag ownership compared to your other cars?The previous owner looked after the Sag extremely well so i cant see Graham overlooking such importance

This Sag has it all,amazing looks(which is the reason i bought it for) the sound it makes is unreal(pops and bangs) makes an awesome GT car (very very comfortable) how it handles the road is phenomenal (like a go cart on steroids) as for the performance,it shocked me.Also being manual its an old school drivers car that you can engage with and rewards you handsomely.So in a nutshell sice ive owned it ive almost done 1000 miles and hand on my heart I LOVE ITDifficult to compare with the others cars i own as they too are very special cars and i feel very very privileged to own them,but at this moment of time my choice of preference is the Sag :-)

Excellent! Make sure you tell all the other Ferrari owners you know so the values keep going up Difficult to compare with the others cars i own as they too are very special cars and i feel very very privileged to own them,but at this moment of time my choice of preference is the Sag :-)

Lets not turn this topic into values like some of the Ferrari/Porsche threads lolThe pleasure i get when driving the Sag can not be measured in financial terms
I have no interest in what its worth in 12/24/36 months time,all i want is to engage/focus on man and machine in harmony :-)

All cars will have problems and design faults and you can,t compare a £40k car built in a shed to 100k plus cars built in sterile factories, but the main thing you are enjoying the Sag Difficult to compare with the others cars i own as they too are very special cars and i feel very very privileged to own them,but at this moment of time my choice of preference is the Sag :-)
Just about to finish another Iberian Tour with my Sag - at over 150K it has had an engine and diff rebuild, but still on original front discs
Spanish roads are amazing, largely billiard table smooth and you can really get on with it through the bends, of which, I am delighted to say, there are a lot
So on this trip a driver in a championship winning team in an Aston DBS asked me how close I'd like him to be behind me - 30 feet I said. On a really twisty road he sort of vanished and when he reached the coffee stop I was leaning against the car reading a magazine, 30 feet, try 3 miles!!
