Simple but effective habit to get into.

Great advice Joe. Having had the rear drums of the C70 "freeze on" a couple of years ago after only a couple of weeks standing, the cars on the drive they are always left in gear & handbrake off.
The double BANG was quite spectacular but luckily didn't damage the linings possibly because they had been renewed a short while before the car was off the road.
