yes,i call it bloody great! you can bleed it and change the pads with the wheels on all round!

the calipers just happen to look very mini cooper S and seem to be made of alloy.... mite have to look into it.

yes chap, we had pembrey for the day with work for a pre season shake down / testing. couldnt have had a better day for it. its a 2.5 , allthough we may be looking into doing a 4.5 but the issue with it is the box, its an early hewland HD4 and its at the max allready....

i can say, it has to be the best car i have ever driven!!
