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...
