My other half got a service done at quickfit (not cheap either), and they managed to put two left-hand pads in the same caliper. She thought something was odd, but didn't notice until it's next MOT somewhere else.

For dear old Freako, it's a vile canard to accuse the manufacturers of producing substandard metal. It's all down to road salt & hydrogen embrittlement. So there.

Went past several tyre remains on the way home yesterday. Strewn between J46 and J41 on the M4 they were.
It's odd enough seeing one lying around. There were at least 5. Maybe it was the slowest car explosion ever.

How did I forget this.
It was summer 2013 and I was on my way up from Reading on a Thursday evening. On the hardshoulder I spotted a van carrying some women going on a hen-do or summat and behind the van I noticed a woman pulling her pants up after having a wee. Her bum was quite big, round and looked pretty!

Spread across lanes 2 and 3 (of the 4 lane M6) were two ramps that had fallen off one of those flatbed car transporters which was parked on the hard shoulder with a sheepish looking driver wondering how he was going to get them back.
Would have made a nasty mess of people's wheels if they'd hit them at speed.

I once saw a whole brake disc on the road. I don't know how that happens.

I'm pretty much used to seeing odd bits of vehicle spring lying around.
Today there was a totally shiny & friction pad free brake pad out of some car or other.
Makes you wonder quite how it fell out & what braking is like without it.
The grinding noise must have been horrendous.

It was quite exciting as I was booting it out of the on-slip & looking over my shoulder to check for stuff coming down the hill.
