Wilf, Unfortunately, it's not my car. I just happened to show up at the right time for a drive with the future owner, who I hope will let me drive it again. Tom, the mechanic, had looked at the pad thickness without removing them and they didn't look very thin to him and there was no brake noise to suggest worn pads (I don't know if these pads have those "sensor" things that scream when the pads get too thin). Tom is an outstanding mechanic who has been a factory trained and certified Ferrari and Lamborghini mechanic for many years. He worked on many Ferrrari race cars over the years at Foreign Cars Italia, so his skills aren't lacking. I guess the very low mileage and the thought that the pads didn't look very thin may have led him astray.
