this is the first time i've photographed my legs in a while, after looking through the start of my 365 i feel like it's kinda a cop out, where i did shots for the sake of it and not learning or progressing in any way.
my excuse is uni/car needing new brakepads/earlier shift at work/early night/vampire tv type of thing so i just needed a simple shot.
despite it being quite simple and a boring shot there's something i like about it, i can't quite touch it.
MOT went fine but I was told I had to change my pads asap, I figured ... No way, there's nothing wrong with my breaks.
Service 6 mths later... Gotta change your pads Asap!!! I was worried now. Twice I'd been told now. This time they were telling me to keep my mileage to a minimum cos they needed changing desperately.
I ain't no expert but
1- I've never had anything that resembles a problem with my brakes. I clean them... occasionally. I use them... regularly.
2- Looking at these pads above... my old pads look tickety boo, to me.
For sure there were two more pads for the front and another two on the rear but these above were the worst of the lot.
WHY THE EMERGENCY!!!
