I’m not sure we want to know. Hopefully he sold it after they started skyrocketing in value.

The brakes are basically up against the differential in like a cage for the IRS mounts. A lot of work to get to them.

I know where that EXACT truck is for sale. He just had it repainted. New engine. New grill. He will sell it if interested.

What year is that Silverado?

I do not lust for new exotics anymore, been there /done that...
Give me a multitude of rare classics and I'm good.

If you're wanting to make the "I don't give a shite about cars" point, you'd have been better off picking a Camry or Accord as those are large enough to comfortably fit the average family in and actually ride smooth and quiet. While still being inexpensive and reliable.
ETA: As for my perfect vehicle, I don't think it exists. My perfect vehicle would have the utility of a crew cab half ton with the fit and finish of say Lexus and the get around 35mpg combined while doing the 1/4 mile in under 14 seconds. Does that exist?

What does the location of the diff have to do with the brakes?
The brake rotors are inboard, located at the differential. The entire rear and most be dropped, benched, and disassembled.... just to get to the pads.... I don't what those engineers at Coventry were thinking but time was definitely not very important to them.

It's a character flaw for sure.Posted on 3/8/19 at 10:36 am to Restomod
I'm the opposite now I guess. Maybe just old. Last real (then real...) fast car I had was my first ever car. 87 Mustang GT Conv at 16. Only runner since was an Escalade with a it of a tune as it was the GM's driver. Wife had an E350 that could fly when floored. Heck, right now I'm driving my old 2001 Expedition I brought my daughter home in. Still pretty prestine and fine for toodling around in. I want that 911 so badly. Either I'm too frugal or too lazy or both.

quote:Thanks. I was just about to post a similar photo. Great pic of just one of the bewildering engineering ideas from Coventry. The E-Types are wonderful, almost breathtaking cars when they are running up to spec... not so wonderful at maintenance/repair time. "Over-engineered" may be the best way to describe.

Targa for me, please.
Posted on 3/8/19 at 10:41 am to MiDixon Yermouth
I assume they thought bringing weight to center mass was key. That pic is interesting
Posted on 3/8/19 at 10:44 am to MiDixon Yermouth
Ha yea, my explanation wasn’t the most technical but I think it got the point across.

Yep, but I want one in Irish Green, and I'd weant it spec'ed the same way the millionth 911 was.
Pics of millionth 911 for reference.

So, tell us. What did that E bring
Posted on 3/8/19 at 10:51 am to CaptainsWafer
That's a good pic Captain. I guessing the linkage above the input pinion is to the emergency brake?
