Oh yes. We have 4 warehouses in total. Somewhere in the vicinity of 45000 sq.ft. altogether.
We bring all of our product in from overseas in containers, usually 20ft'rs, and the rest is air freight. Plus the stuff from the US that is trucked in.

Thats a good question, when i took out pads to inspect them few weeks ago i wasnt sure what they exactly were. All i know is theyre hawks.

since they faded real badly, i'm thinking you're running HPS. Those are THE worst pads for track use, lol.
Toss in some DT-60's or HT-10's and you should see a massive improvement.

Oil dipstick broken in my A4. 
Yesterday, my dash was showing that my windshield washer fluid was low; so, this morning I filled her up, and while I was doing that I thought I'd better check the other fluids. Pulled the dipstick out, and there was a small crack in it about half-way up. Just so you know, it's not metal like the S2000. It's made of some sort of plastic with a fiberous core (it looks like a orange lexan tube stuffed with horsehair). Anyway, the outer plastic was a little cracked. I wiped it off, put it back in and took it out, only this time it was really cracked and much weaker. I thought that I shouldn't put it back in again because I didn't want it to break off inside the tube/housing. I did need to move the A4 so I could pull out the S; so, I went ahead and broke the dipstick in half so that I could at least put the top part back, drive the car back into the garage, and drive my s to work. I didn't have a chance to look really close at the dipstick tube/housing to see if there was a problem there. The local Audi dealer has already set aside a new dipstick for me.
I hope the dipstick just cracked from nine years of wear and that I was lucky to catch it before it broke, and I hope it's not a sign of another problem
