First drive in snow probs: Tires, I hope...ABS brakes frightening

I guess that this might be called different things in different countries. In the UK, it's "EBD" (Peter knew what I was talking about ;o)

Anyroad - have a good weekend!

In all honesty, I find it somewhat sad that technology has taken-over from training.

Not (unfortunately) that I'm complaining.

With EBD, a number of car manufacturers have realised that it's a tiny minority that understand ABS "might" be have advantages. Most, I submit, simply consider it "a better mousetrap".

Whilst it's a better talking-point for us car nuts, I think most of use would agree that the sort of "arrghh! What's happening, better stamp on the brakes!" tailgater is better off with ABS. From a purely selfish point of view ;o)

Heck, let's - the rest of us - keep talking. F'instance - how do people find EBC Greenstuff pads, and how do they work with standard vs. aftermarket discs? (There's a reason for asking.. ;o)

Have a look here, Hairy.
