Just had a goodie.  The rear brake pads have loudly announced that they (and 
possibly the rear rotors) are well and truly _shot_.  It being Sunday in the 
UK, I can't get replacements - so I've had to reschedule tomorrow to allow for 
a quick brake job.

"I'm sick of that car," says she.  "It's about time we got one that doesn't 
need this kind of pampering."
 
So - I offer the task to the list.  Anyone know of a car that doesn't require 
"pampering" with new rear brake pads every 41000 (I checked the invoice file)
miles?
