[RT/10Dave]

Mmmmmm 91... Always loved that car!!

[V1PER]

Steve S has read the thread and would and would like to say thanks for all the kind words you have all said about my sorry sorry HIS viper....

A few pics for Steve to see the brake damage....

[AndyBe]

What exactly's happened with the brakes ?

[Viper]

no pads, metal on metal must of sounded lovely ! leaves nice scoring finish, they do look tiny calipers for such a powerful car, time for another upgrade and a lot of Baz'ing around the suspension

[RT/10Dave]

Oh dear! I think it's time to get in touch with Dave's Big Brakes!

edited to add: I presume 91 has had an MOT in the last 12 months? How did they not pick up on the fact that it had little or no brake pads left!??

MOT would pic up if it had poor brake effort on the brake test(rollers)it may of had some pad left then...But they do not check pad condition (as far as i am aware) but the last service should of done....
