K!P - the engine will either a) race to the rev-limiter, which should be harmless for a short time, but depending on the condition of things like the cam-belt might not be, or b) rev to wherever the throttle's stuck at, which will be the same or lower than the above.

Putting it in Park won't do anything at speed, the pawl just skitters along the top of the teeth and won't engage. What it will do is bring you violently to a very nasty halt when you've already slowed down a lot.

Secondly, you don't lose brakes by turning the engine off - but you will if you keep waggling the pedal. There's plenty of vacuum in the servo (or in my case pressure in the reservoir 'cos it's a Citroën) to allow you to use the pedal three or four times before you lose power assist.

My brother has several patents for metal foam from the 70s when he worked for Dunlop before he quit to become an accountant. They're assigned to Dunlop, of course...

I can understand it being boring - just sitting in a car on the train through the Chunnel is deathly dull. Ferries are about the same price, so it's not something I'll do again in a hurry.
