Hmmm - Ma - I am just not sure about you. Maybe you real name is Miriam. Just not sure that a real girl would be wanting to bend the car!

Allan from Riverland(SA) 4WD Club replied:

Mrs Al, The term handbrake when applied to the female gender derives its heritage from the act of applying the handbrake to a motor vehicle. This act causes the rear wheels of the aforesaid motor vehicle to cease motion and bring same vehicle to a halt and occasionally the m/v may lose traction and not go where it is intended. (as you yourself have previously experianced)
Thus whe the female partner applies the handbrake, the male partner is like the rear wheels and are forced to be dragged around not necessarily in the direction that they want to be in.
It is thankfully that forum's like this exist that are predominately male dominated where we cant vent our frustrations with little chance of retribution.

My handbrake is more like an accelerator. When I come up with an idea of going somewhere with the 4by the response is " Oh good, I'll start packing for you" !!!!

Lucky me :-)

Now why would someone have called you LORRY....Mrs Al???

Cheers,
Willem

Always going somewhere
