Regarding your hand brake. Yes. Driving 30mph for 5 minutes with the handbrake engaged will render it totally inoperative. (Though it could be readjusted pretty easily.) That's the bad news. The good news is, who cares? The Superformance handbrake should be considered a purely decorative piece that lends some authenticity to the car's interior. Perfectly adjusted and working at it's ultimate, I would NEVER trust the handbrake to keep my car from rolling when parked. That's what first gear is for.

"These cars come with two guarantees - the roof leaks and the handbrake doesn't work."
Drive On!
