Default Handbrake Fail
Last night I popped round to help Baz (on here) fit his rear brembo's... Parked up in his carpark, jumped out and locked the doors.. Went into the secure car park when his car is parked and started working away. About 30 minutes later we both hear what sounds like a football hitting a fence... Me with my head under Baz's car looked at him for him to say "Did you park there mate?" As i get up i see my car had managed to reverse itself down the hill and into a brick wall!
Wish I took a photo of where it ended out cause it missed a van with scaffold poles by literally 2mm! 1 inch to the right and it may have been a lot worse!
It must have rolled back so slowly, 30 mins to do about 6 meters, but has obviously ruined the paintwork on the rear bumper.

Anyone know of someone who can spray it for me?? Preferably next Wednesday? Will also get the front bumper and maybe the bonnet done at the same time.
