Back when I was a young man (a long time ago) driving my first 60 
TR3A in Ohio, on snowy days I liked to use it to lockup the rear 
wheels & then slide the rear end around corners.  As soon as the nose 
was pointing in the way you wanted it, simply release the hand brake, 
let out the clutch, & away you would go....  ;-) Great fun...
