  1. Měření stavu brzdových destiček je opruz. Pořádně tam vidět není, dokud není kolo dole.

    Vytisknul jsem si proto tyčku se stupnicí. Začátek odpovídá tloušťce "plechu" (pevnému podkladu), v mém případě 6mm. Dílky po 1mm pak odpovídají 10mm "masa" (materiálu, který se sjíždící). Strčím tyčku vedle destičky až ke kotouči a podle toho, jak moc zajede tzn. kolik dílků zůstane venku poznám, kolik mají ještě materiálu.

  2. Just read another rumour about the possible forth-gen #Toyota #MR2. This time the rumour is that they're looking to position out at the top of their #GR product line, in competition with cars like the #Corvette and #Lotus #Emira.

    I'm pretty sure that would be a huge mistake. The whole point of the MR2 was that it was... well it wasn't really affordable per se, but it wasn't completely out of reach for your average punter. It was positioned below the Supra, which is currently around $90K. Not to mention that the name is famously short for "Midship Runabout, 2-seater" and the car was designed as a small economic city car, while the performance characteristics were a fun side-effect.

    $200K for a runabout? I think not.

    Of course, if it actually comes out, and is priced between the #GR86 and Supra, I am absolutely 100% getting one at launch. I love my #SW20, and have longed for something similar but newer for a very long time.
