Corrosion warning
Discussion
not that corrosion 
Having now recovered from my stint in Prague[1] i have a warning to post:
If you leave your car for around 4 weeks without driving it (and which starts like a daisy first time...thank you varta blue
), corrosion will build up on the discs.
Nothing abnormal there.
However, braking will be severly affected by said corrosion for a good few miles/sustained braking sessions.
DO NOT, brake hard upon first getting in/when the car is heated up, as this will lead to the brakes locking up....as you approach a roundabout...at 30mph...and you may or may not narrowly miss the roundabout itself 
Thankfully i escaped unharmed.
This is common knowledge, but sometimes we forget (or atleast, i do
).
[1] Top tips for Prague:
1. When in a "bar" dont buy shots, just ask to buy the bottle...much cheaper!
2. Ask for the "good stuff" when it comes to beer. They tend to serve foreigners shite
3. DO NOT insult anybody. ever. unless you have a burning desire to know what a knife in your throat feels like
4. If a woman by the name of "Cass" comes onto you, She's a He.
5. Dont point and laugh.

There's a story here - I think we should be told
t'was nothing really.
We have all had or have, a mate who just cant keep his mouth shut/act right when the time comes. (tis me some of the time
) Lets just say, running away from a foreign bloke in a foreign country is not fun. i got lost
a lot - find a good watering hole a short walk out of the old town square. It will be considerably cheaper.Gassing Station | Elise/Exige/Europa/340R | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
