i parked my car neer my garage, i have a fairly long driveway, few minutes later my brother walks in and says "ey retard your car rolled down the driveway"
its rolled bout 20meters, and lucky it rolled into these trees we have and not into the briks. it dinted my rear quater, which just popped out quiet easily just now, and put a small crak in my brand new ed tailight :( lucky it wasnt anything more! i never forget to put the handbrake on, cept for today, what a .

haha I did that the other day, my handbrake was on way to light, left it out of gear though, walked past the front door 30 seconds after pulling up and wonder where the my car is. Look out and see it rolling into the reserve.
 :Sucks about that tail light niko. :P |

I was in a brake-less (completely, no fluid - handbrake cables not hooked up) ea to steer when we were winching it off a trailer once (the donor for my original 5spd) when the cable snapped on a 45 degree hill, sending me careening backwards down the driveway... steered into a tree at the last second to avoid hitting the shed... hitting a tree instead.

why you worried about the cable if you never use it anyway?
Bugger relying on only one thing to stop your car from rolling away - if you've got both, use both - your car might roll down a road and kill someone one day if you're not careful...
