Impressive, how did you manage that? I owned a W reg saloon version back in the day and I thought it was so easy to drive fast that it was actually a bit boring. Tons and tons of grip and then gradual understeer as you went too fast around a corner that warned you well in advance.Joey Deacon said:

Plod breathalysed me twice because they couldnt believe someone was just that much of a t*t-head
Every panel was damaged in some way except the rear boot lid, Cat A, felt like a colossal prat for a long time after that!

Showing off to my cousin, couldnt correct it coming out of a corner, clipped kerb, woke up having hit two walls and a VW golf.

Fair play for actually admitting it was a watch this moment rather than the old deer that was stting diesel out the back of it BS.

The joys of being 24 and thinking youre Colin Mcrae, only to realise you have the driving skills of a potato who’s had a lobotomy.
Lesson learnt though, luckily it only cost cash and no one was seriously hurt.
Learning experience - I have had the odd embarrassment myself, also no injuries. . The main thing is that you had no injuries.Lesson learnt though, luckily it only cost cash and no one was seriously hurt.
My worst was my first trip to the Ring many years ago, new BMW and had an off. Lots of damage, and 100% my fault. I recall Sabine passing me by in the Ring taxi and tooting and waving, big smile for the idiot (me) who did a solo trip into the Armco. Been back many times since but no repeats.

Two master cylinders?
Yes. One for the front, one for the back, typically either different sizes and/or with a balance bar to allow altering of he brake balance front to back. Modern cars also have two master cylinders but they almost all have a single "dual" master cylinder.
