    Again don't feel bad, I did it to my SP23 two years ago, rolled down the street and under the flat tray of a ute! I thought I'd put the hand brake on, but obviously no where near enough!! Was very lucky it didn't take anyone out...........

    Ouch, glad you're ok mate, don't feel bad I've also done the no hand brake thing in an auto commodore - rang over my own foot before I reached in and pulled the brake!
