WTF? That cant be naturally corroded.

He must have had been experiencing brake fade.

looks like it was sitting up a long time, At least he still has pads

submerged in the sea?

From the pics it looks like the disc was worn soo thin that it just corroded away, if it was really thin it would corrode very quickly.
The rest of the car looks to be ok.

Looks to be from the USA, which is also the land of the $29.95 car "service" as Oisin revealed to us last week. Anyone else seeing a picture emerging here??!

That's what you call vented.....

FAAAAACK!

 

[BLZEEDUB]

is that even possible tho?doubt the car 'was in service' when that happened ....

...I had a disasterous Opel Ascona for a short period of time years ago when I was 18 or 19 at college, with bad brakes -discs looked 'badly scored' but i ignored this fact; I scraped together the cash for new pads for the front of it, and fitted them - on attempting to 'gently bed them in' on a test drive, the disc part completely seperated from the hub part; I did lube pads shoulder in the caliper but the extra grabbing power must have been too much for the old disc and it quickly seperated into two parts.......

I was trying to discuss the expense of an oil change with a comparison to a different country. Yer the ones that got pissy about the price of oil.

Theres no call for a smart comment here.
