Stopped eventually

Watching history of R/R last night, the presenter was driving a very smart 20/25, zooming along in top gear. Must have been doing 40mph when he said right lets try the brakes. Saw his foot stand on the brake pedal which appeared to go into the floor pan the next shot featured the car from the rear slowing down and going into the near distance, could hear the scuffing of the brakes too

Now I understand what is meant by poor brakes.

So I guess a little bit of dramatic license for television. Thought it strange that such a crafted car should seemingly have such poor brakes.

I missed the first part of the 2 part series so have to watch for the repeat, did I miss much?

Would I be correct assuming that the asbestos pads of old are now substituted for an alternative material and is there a choice when replacing pads.

One day I hope that I may be able to provide a answer rather than keep asking questions
