[s-cars] Taka: Brake fade

[Bruce Mendel]

Repeat after me....Castrol SRF fluid, Pagid Orange pads. :)

Anything else on an S4/S6, driven in anger at the Glen, will fade. I speak
from unfortunate experience. :)

And don't even ask me about the time my cellphone car kit's speaker came
loose and landed on top of the brake pedal while under I was going for the
brakes at the bus stop!
