VHT?

Traction compound that is used to prep the pad. A good track prep will feel like it will pull the shoes off your feet if you walk on it.

Ah. Last drag strip I went to was slippery as hell.

Watched the grand tour. Clarkson spent £36k on his golf. Good car for sure, but that's a lot of money! You can spec them up to 42k.

Also in the previous episode the naturally aspirated v8 lexus piqued my interest. Not that specific car itself as I can't possibly afford it, but just thinking about my next car and a non turbo could well be an option.

Better hurry. Naturally aspirated engines are a vanishing breed. Sadly.

Brother had a lucky escape recently.
On Thursday he was about to go to work on his Old school Vespa but didn't like the creaking sound coming from the rear. He decided to leave it and use the tube until he could take a look at it today.

Just as well....
This is the rear hub



Cleaned up with brake cleaner really shows the extent of the damage. Was just about ready to split apart!



Turns out the previous shop that "serviced" it ( now gone bust, wonder why) used a cheap Taiwanese non OEM part.

I'm not a mechanic but that doesn't look good.

Yeah, he went white as a sheet when he saw it.
