A scary one was total brake failure coming down MamTor into the Edale Valley ... Mum and Sister in the back of my new (to me... it was an old banger) Vauxhall Victor ..... looked across to Mrs Image in the passenger seat and could tell she knew right away .... ended up door-handling round bends far faster than was in any way prudent .... back seat passengers must have thought I always drove like that as their constant chatter never missed a beat 🙂

Was mightily relieved when a flat stretch of road allowed me to stop.

Turned out the previous owner had filled the brake master cylinder with engine oil and all the seals were mush !

One of my closest approaches to a big accident that never quite happened.
