Worst brakes you've ever used

[crossy67]

Reading the worst throttle response thread reminded me of the worst brakes I have ever had the misfortune to use.

Mine was a Citroen XM, think about breaking and you got whiplash. If it wasn't for the cost it would have been more comfortable to crash each time you wanted to stop.

I had a break at Disneyland Paris and that was pretty dreadful, more due to the girl I was with at the time.
Or did you mean brakes?

Ford Puma was pretty bad.

Way too much bite at the top of the pedal and then virtually nothing when you pressed harder.

City breaks to Glasgow are pretty bad.

Brakes! It's fking brakes. Jesus H from Steps, it's not fking rocket science.

Secondly, the brakes on Citroens with hydraulic suspension were fantastic if you knew how to use them.

Chunky Kit-Kats. Even worserer break on those.

I've only had one break, a greenstick fracture of my left forearm. It hurt like fk but I did get a plaster cast that my classmates all wrote on.

Awww, everyone give the OP a brake.

It was a simple mistake.

[Defcon5]

106 brakes are pretty dire

Probably something by Krafty Kuts...

Tib and fib. Still aches in cold weather.

It was a simple misteak.

Fixed that, just for the OP

Sorry.

Everybody is capable of making a typo, but he repeated the same incorrect word from the title in his post too. Anyone on here who doesn't know the difference between breaks and brakes should be instantly banned from the site. Their opinion is clearly worth less than nothing if they don't know the word brakes.

While we're at it can we birch those who confuse lose/loose and bought/brought too?
