    Handbrake off
    Drive away

    So as soon as i didn't have to put foot on clutch, i was confused - i kept trying to drive away without releasing the handbrake!
    Driving an american automatic where the handbrake is often where you would expect the clutch to be ( I had a dodge saloon like that) can make it even more fun

      Well I am terrible for not remembering to put the handbreak on - so many times I have been driving my dads car, stopped - engine off - got out and bloody car starts moving.... Stupid thing!

      Only good thing is - you can't stall an automatic, can you???

          Wearing jeans
          With matching denim jacket
          A D & G blue (to match the denim) striped t-shirt - the D & G logo being heavily covered in glitter

                Is that why you call it a handbreak
