This Bugeye was in front of me on last weekend's covered bridge tour, and the TR6 was behind. It was a bit nippy, hence the toque.

His won't fit a credit card at all. He's adding a 3mm spacer though, should be fine. I'm just amazed that Porsche and Audi make those caliper-face tolerances so tight. It's really just asking for trouble.
