Aw crap, here I go again. Brembo Question

[Kimbers]

Any one who has fitted Brembo's and the upgraded discs.

Kimers, it seems that if it weren't for bad luck, you'd have no luck at all.

Here's hoping you get it resolved and/or get home tonight

I was going to offer him a lift home, then I thought about where he works.

It's a car dealer, new and used, so I guessed he could find a car to get home.

Kimbers, if you need a lift home so that you can use the Civiv to travel again, just let me know.
