Cold weather always brings on a rash of master cylinder failures in older vehicles .
As I was on the steep down ramp into the garage @ work this morning , I felt a 'click' in the brake pedal and it dropped most of the way to the floor .
Luckily I had already placed the transmission in Park so it only lurched forward a little bit as I stamped the park brake .
I still have minimal brakes so I'll *carefully* drive it home on the park brake and my Son will come take me to get my Coupe down in Los Angeles .
I've already ordered in a new master cylinder and two cans of DOT 4 brake fluid , I can't remember where I left my pressure bleeder though 
.
Always something to do .
When I had the VW Shop , I'd always lay in 20 or so master cylinders just before November , all would be gone by New Year's .
