I'm so old, I haven't even attempted a handbrake assisted u-turn in my MV6. Yet.


Best to try it when the wife's sitting next to you....as a surprise Grin

Done it a few times when I first got my car, one time I was feeling more daring and nearly spanked a lamp post in the middle of a carpark when doing it. Grin

Wasn't the handbrake a tad sticky in TB1? - I'd make sure it works correctly by doing a U-Turn down Tesco's car park  Wink

Do you break V6's as often as TheBoy? Then you need tunnie's towing services, recovery costs are just the humiliation of being towed by 2/3's of an engine

You can't make a U-Turn in a Tesco car park because it is a well known fact that Omega cam sensors don't work there!
