Hmmmm I can't believe the driver of that car could make your brakes go soft. :-)

For those of you who tahe the quattro club quarterly: the top picture on
page 9 shows Dave Lawson's TQC and Steves is just over the hood of Dave's
car. (note the 5 spoke factory alloys) and the above mentioned car from
dallas is right behind Dave's. The lead in photo on page 8 is a picture of
my car with my son driving. Eban missed the apex on this one; but otherwise
drove exeptionaly well.

Certainly agree with Steve about the Metal Masters, all I've used for the
past 10 years. Be careful when they are wet though.
