[DeTomaso] GT5S Brakes

[Ian H]

The yellow stuff is more of a track/race pad. definitely not suited for 
Johns driving habits.  He is going to follow me to a car show this weekend 
about 50 miles away from us and even though it will be 7:00 am on a Sunday 
with no one on the road, he will not excede the speed limit.  Me on the 
other hand.........................Well, I will have some fun from time to 
time, but will just have to slow down and wait for him to catch up again!

Ian
