Great story terya1. I remember my Dad doing something similar many years ago in a car with drum brakes. The brakes didn't quite catch on fire, but the smell of cooked brake linings was something else!
After 3 years of driving a BA XR6, I got into the habit of not pulling the handbrake on too hard in order to minimise the ongoing re-adjustments. So I've driven off in the Mondeo a couple of times with the handbrake still on, but it's pretty obvious with the petrol engine.
