Controlled Breakdown Simulation: Success!

Sunday May 3rd 2009.  We conducted a controlled breakdown simulation in  L'Espace.  Tim skillfully loosened a brake caliper bolt which slowly worked its way free on the A40.  We still had 75% braking power and easily came to a safe stop, but the various grinding and banging noises suggested something was amiss.

10 minutes later we were on our way again with a temporary fix involving a wheel bolt in lieu of caliper bolt.  

Mission accomplished :-)
