Of course having done a bit of racing and rallying I can left-foot brake and balance the car through corners.
Personally I prefer rear wheel drive 'cos I like going sideways around roundabouts
Oh and I had to replace the front discs. One of the pads had come off the base and vanished, so the backing plate had gouged a chunk and a half out of the disc
However the new improved brakes are serious stoppers
