    A Ferrari Enzo which is no more

    Thanks for that David, Yes, of course there are still cars with drums at the rear. When one does posts in the early hours, in particular Sunday mornings, the brakes are still on the brain box! One wonders why since the 1953 Le Mans appearance of the new disc brake, large trucks still...
