We asked him if the engine had actually been called “Seagull” and how that came about. “Actually it was just call “Gull”, because I named it that. Because we knew it was going to poo on everything”. |

I have had a couple of cars come in to work with the rotors like that too...
Usually BMW drivers... That'll teach them for having such soft rotors on the cars
