We all know about the 406's handbrake

Well here's why you should never atempt a hand brake turn in one ......

hahaha what a pillock! Perhaps he should have learned the basics of how to do them (such as unbalancing the car in a turn FIRST) before understeering into a wall

What a useless handbrake in the 406. My dad was giving out to me for driving too fast last night and i said ''at least you can't accuse me of doing handbrake turns''

P.S. I don't think i drive too fast

I tried it in the local supermarket car park when we had the snow, thinking the missus will never notice
Forgot about the helpful audible alarm & explanation on the MFD

If the handbrakes had worked he'd have slid backwards into the wall instead. Not his car perhaps...

At my D9's last MOT I was chuffed to see it jump off the rollers when the tester put the handbrake on (Handbrake lever now has 8 clicks and counting )

Oh dear oh dear
My 1987 Uno had a better handbrake than the 406 (and it did good handbrake turns in the snow!! )

Yes, I've heard of these 'handbrakes'. I must see if I can install one...

[steve_earwig]

I have an idea for you

[swiss]

Funnily enough, I know where I can get hold of one of those...

They must have had a new clutch ready to put into the citroen straight after the towing was done
