was driving the ole tintop today, and went down a bit of dirt track (its not a road its kind of private land that one is allowed to drive through)
anyway, i thought, here some fun, ill just pull on the old handbrake here... waheeeyyy OH SHIT! got it nicely sideways on the gravel and was holding
it nicely but then there was this fence post...
My car now has a rather nice fold line in the abs plastic bumper lol live and learn

oops!

Wot no pictures?
sounds like a flesh wound 
amazing how quick things happen once you get out of shape and enter that "passenger with a steering wheel in your hands" scenario

Many years ago (like 25+), I was going into town and thought a handbrake induced drift onto next road (at T- junction) would be a laugh. Pulled up
handbrake and did perfect 180 turn (spin?) and ended up at junction facing way I'd just come
Tried doing handbrake turns in alfasud, only to find handbrake worked on front wheels

You may get the crease out using a hot air gun and a lever from behind? Wide open spaces are often the best place to practise hand brake turns!

I went off a rather lumpy undulating country road into and accross a ploughed field in a Citroen BX whilst leaerning why Citroen never campaigned them
or their suspension in rallying
But fortunatly raining to the high position allowed me to drive out again with no external assistance, just a lot of mud underneath
