Danny, 

Happy to hear all is well despite the close call!!!

My son and his wife, being a much younger vintage than myself, and only
having expierence with POWER bakes, learned this lesson the hard way
also.  He insisted that there was something wrong with the brakes on the
little car the first time he drove it.

A caution to first time drivers of our vintage cars is definately in
order, especially the younger drivers who don't have the benefit of ever
actually driving a car with "standard" brakes.

Extremely glad you are safe!
