New Car Brake Braggarts; Ignorance Of Technical History 140-160

posted by  someone claiming to be Gary Innes on  Tue May 20 22:02 CST 2003 [RELATED]

Greetings All!
Just an old geezer venting . . .
Amuses me to see recent advertising in which manufacturers of
overpriced, techno-loaded, gizmo-mobiles boast of their "VENTED
DISC BRAKES". Uh, gimme just a moment to clear the fog from my
gin-soaked neurons . . . Didn't a certain Swedish firm offer
these in the 72nd year of the PREVIOUS CENTURY???
And yet, recently here on the 'Board, Mr.'S' commented,
"Oh--you can't compare those OLD FASHIONED brakes with what exists
today". GGGrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr . . . . .
Where's that bottle . . . Gonna paint my next Volvo
"Tanqueray Green" . . .
