Hi all just a quick heads up today my darling wife parked our 159 outside our house on a drive way that slopes towards the house handbrake on but not in gear??????? 22 minutes later she heard a loud bang went to investigate and found the car embedded in the front of the house! !!! Damage caused is quite bad for such a low speed accident as the car probably only rolled for about 8 ft.....
Bonnet is creased/bent front bumper and grill cracked and my 3 weeks old alfa badge has spar dash embedded in it!!!!!!!! Anyway I have checked the handbrake it seems fine I think the cables expanding in the heat caused the car to edge forward thus into the house. ..... moral of the story make sure its in gear or you will have a really bad day like me

Sorry no pics as I.m a luddite and have had a few beers to take the edge off. ..................
