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

The ones I have seen for mini's aren't like the finned drums in older vehicles and they do make difference in keeping the discs cool

Maybe if you drive like a granny. Drove my friend's Mini with finned drums and the brakes overheated just as quickly as my other friend's Mini with normal drums. Drums on the front on any car are useless if you actually want to make any decent progress.
