Title: Please laugh, because everyone else has
Post by: waspy on 25 February 2008, 18:41:44
Drove miggy outa the garage this morn, parked her on the road with tyre side wall pointing to kerb & handbrake on.
I've done this many thousands of times before, but never done this before;- walked upto garage door to close it & thought what's that noise behind me, only miggy dissapearing backwards down the slight slope outside my garden.BLEEP BLEEP. Never moved so fast in years, grabbed hold of door handle, reached inside & wrenched the handbrake through the roof. That was one fortunate escape, because she was heading towards a wall  :-[ :-[ :-[
I think i'm gona adjust the hadbrake this weekend  :y
So please have a laugh at my expense  ;D ;D ;D ;D

I remember a chap at a garage near to me once.. he was servicing an XJ6 sprayed Pink (Just like Loo Knee's wifes t-shirt that he wears)  He was revving the engine standing at the side with the door open, no brake on, hte auto box jumped from P to R.... it shot backwards, the door pinned him to the wall / pillar, the door buckled and the car shot across the road and into the wall opposite...

A good handbrake is a wonderful thing.. ;D ;D ;D

Coming back to the main subject, when driving a manual, I always leave the car in gear when parking. This gives a secondary force to stop the car moving if the handbrake slips. Helps some times...........
