You should not have been driving it so fast. If you put a set of Brembo brakes on it, it stops a lot better.

Poor brakes??? You wrote it off???

Like the last comment says... you shouldn't have been driving it so fast on public roads. I've just been tanning an MGF (normal road spec - probably the same as yours) around Knockhill racing circuit in Scotland and the brakes were fine. About 6 other people abused the same car that day and none of them failed to stop when they wanted!!!

Some have brakes that fail, some don't. This is just another example of poor quality control, which has spoiled what should have been a great car.
