Just caught a car!

I've just been down to the shop for the Sunday afternoon sweeties and caught a car!
As I was crossing the road a Citroen C1 parked up and the lady gets out just as I am walking behind it. As she closes the door it starts rolling backwards as she is on a slope, I jump behind it and lean in to it to slow as I shout that she hasn't used her hand brake. Fortunately she hasn't locked it yet so is able to jump back in and apply the brake and save me and the car parked behind getting crushed.

I didn't even have time to jump in the nearest phone box and put my red pants on over my trousers. Next time....
