The most skilful manoeuvre I've performed in a car, the first occasion was when I was 18, the further two occasions, possibly slightly embarrassingly, when I was much older.
The reason I've only performed it on three occasions is because the conditions have to be perfect in a myriad of ways, you can spend 50 years driving and not have the opportunity to carry out this manoeuvre.
So, picture this, I'm 18 years old, Mk 2 Cortina, 1.3 De Luxe, Anchor Blue 2 door coupe. A quiet dual carriageway, 2 lanes, traffic lights ahead, just at the end of a slight uphill gradient.
Pull up at the lights next to another car, elderly couple in car, quickly check mirror, nothing behind, I turn and smile at the elderly couple next to me, they smile back as I start to ride the clutch and pull forward slowly but positively.
The look of horror on the elderly chap's face as he desperately tried yanking on his handbrake thinking he was rolling backwards. 45 years on I still chuckle when I think about it.
