Incredible, you'd like to think that it's a one off, sadly not.
In my previous life a Reno came into me for some job, during which i found that all front pads had been worn down to the metal and they in turn had worn the unvented discs down to feeler gauge thickness, how they didn't shatter with total brake failure i've never fathomed, nor how you drive with the noise and grinding through the pedal for months on end and not twig anything wrong, it's bizarre.
Another gem was the 2CV where the pad had vanished altogether and the braking was being done by the piston itself which resembled a little boys baseball cap.
