[Mgs] Rear brake locked

[Charles & Peggy Robinson]

    Doggoned cars develop a personality, huh?  It drove OK afterwards 
except that the E brake won't hold well.  One of those Moss cables that 
Kelvin said suffered from "specification drift."  ;^)  Rotten weather 
this weekend.  I'll drive it some more and then tighten up the 
adjustment a notch.  Wouldn't surprise me if it duplicates your car's 
behavior.
