Aston Martin only track day
Discussion
Good to see a bit more footage of the day Matt! Who's the dick in the orange shirt getting in the way of your filming the line up!!??
Anyway, been driving my DB9 a lot due to this lovely weather. My brakes are suddenly SQUEALING SOOO LOUDLY , but only at low speed, as in when queing down a hill. Really annoying and embarrassing!
Can't think why!?!? Anyway, obviously going to get them checked and hopefully it'll just be a case of brushing some copper grease on or something.
Anyone done this before!?
Hope you're all well by the way, that day will last with me forever! (Finally discovered how to use these emoji/smilie things!!)

Hope you`re well Guy, with the exception of brake squeal, a horrible thing on any vehicle, much worse in a car like these! Mine had a few episodes in the first few months but nothing mercifully for the last couple of years, always seemed to get worse when stopping at a pedestrian crossing where 30 people were waiting...
Dealers usually 'deglaze' them Guy - that is give them a hammering on the road! But I guess you just gave them, a little exercise yourself?! They lack a chamfer on the leading edge which may be a cause - buy a file . I know a guy who handed his car back over it as the last straw of a few issues ...!
Have changed insurance companies and trackdays included
Need to buy a helmet in next two days or so from a motorcycle shop in Kent for LM Classic parade lap or two - just secured a place.
Any recommendations for an open face helmet that's not too big as have limited head clearance in VB V coupe?

I have the Arai classic helmet.
Don't have a problem with clearance as I drive with the top open on the track.

Off topic, Dean how are you finding the BR upgrades?
Hi Humphrey, I am well pleased! The experience feels more complete, and a lot more urgent. Like any performance upgrade, after driving it for a couple of months you become used to it, so it does not blow your socks off with the surprise factor like at the beginning, (the honeymoon period...?) but I am still aware that it`s a wonderful improvement every time I put my foot down.Gassing Station | Aston Martin | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
