Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

If your insurance company knew you had the brake pad I'd mention it. It not like you were powersliding a front wheel drive car around a roundabout is it?

If it went to court or wherever and you were like 'i didn't crash the car because my brake pads were better than her brake pads' i suspect they will just think you are a cunt.

I have a stripped and caged hill climb spec mk1 golf, every time i take it on the road everyone just assumes I'm a boy racer and a cunt.
