Another one bites the dust (don't drive like an idiot!).

Ouch.  Sorry to see that.  What size rims are on the rear?  They look
like 8.5-9" wide?  I love Borbet Type A's.

Coming into the turn with way too much speed (~80) I tried to slow her down and the Ferodo's promptly locked and the whine of the SP9000's didn't ceased until I had already jumped the outside curb of the turn and begin to slide on the grass. Attempts to de-lock the brakes were futile, up to nearly complete release of the brakes! After hitting the grass momentum was kept until a friendly fire hydrant stopped me very completely and suddenly. Many thanks to german engineers, I am completely fine. The car on the other hand...
