Hi guys,
I was about 21 when my sister gave me her old 1964 Chev belair which had a 307 V8 engine in it.
It was a really great cruising car and i drive it up to Queensland to see a mate of mine.

Before the free way you use to have go thru Peats Ridge and there used to be a Caltex garage on the old Highway that was one of my stops for fuel and food.
The Chev was a big car and i am only short in height but i never had any trouble driving it.

I got pulled up by the Highway Patrol to make sure i could reach the pedals in the car.
I used to like and still do like driving at night and the high beam switch was on the floor and you hit the button with your foot.

When i returned to Sydney and was still living at home and working in Paddington but i was still on holidays.
One night at 11pm i went to take the car to get washed at were i worked as it was open 24 hours a day.
As i was going down a street called Mona Rd at Darling Point in Sydneys Eastern Suburbs i put my foot on the brakes and noting it went straight to the floor.

Mona Road comes out at New South Head Road and there is a set of trafffic lights at the intersection.
As i was going down the hill at Mona Road the traffic lights were green and i went shooting thru the lights at a great rate of knots.

I went down Glenmore Road at Paddington with out hitting another car and my car was still in low gear and it just slowed down enough for me to leave it at the Brake Centre in the building that i worked at.

It turned out to be a rear wheel Cylinder that was leaking and when i put my foot on the brake it pushed all the brake fluid out thru wheel cylinder.

That was i think the only time in all my years of driving that i thought " this is not good when the brake pedal went right to the floor".
