Nah, it was a confluence of worn pads and lazy, non-safety conscious testing.

I think what they meant was that the crash was a result of the confluence of the brake pad wear and the fluid boiling. Worn pads led to fluid boiling which in turn led to smacking the wall.

My 2004 Touring Coupe was purchased by her original owner in November of 2003. I guess it varies by geographical area. Greetings. BTW, anticipation makes it all the more exciting!

Update to my "Page 113" post, I'm guessing the editions vary by region if Semtex and Dad didn't see what I saw on Pg 113. Wow, C&D actually had something nice to say (gas mileage). If their car had a BMW roundel on it, no doubt it would be their car of the year or something.

So (back on topic), when do we expect to hear more info about the 2011 Z? I've seen a couple of mentions of "configurable gauges" similar to the GT-R -- if that pans out I'm going to have major 2011-envy!
