"ps. Handbrake tends to freeze on winter time so it has become a habit that I usually don't use it... "

I would rather gamble and take that risk. Good thing nobody got hurt.

I just hate when these sorts of things happen in front of family. They tend to have long memories and waste no time in reminding you of the "parking brake incident". Could have been worse - could have been in front of the gf's family.

Glad that it all worked out with no damage or injuries.

Cheers

Lucky you! Would have been a shame for that beautiful car to get scratched up! Or worse!

You 2 should start a thread called, "My bonehead moment with the E60". I bet it will get a lot of traffic and stories. Do it.
