Once you understand how brake pads work and which friction material is best suited for which driving application, you can then select the right type of aftermarket brakes for your customer’s vehicle and driving needs.

The average life expectancy of a man is about 75 years old, although it varies from country to country. With any luck, that means I will live up until around 2064.

Lamborghini has a long and seriously convoluted history of all-terrain vehicles. It all started with the 1977 Cheetah, built on a contract from Mobility Technology International. Turns out MTI blatantly copied the 1970 XR311 from FMC, a military vehicle intended to replace the M151 jeep. Lamborghini revisited the Chettah to create the LM001 of 1981, a rear-engined 4x4 powered by a free-breathing V8 of AMC origin.
