Spotted these pics on a FB site that I am on.
Never knew they did an Amphibious version of the MK5 ??

Most likely didn't pull it up hard enough, the pads cooled and contracted and then back she goes!   That's happened to Golfs since the MK2.  My edition rolled backwards down a hill, but luckily the steering lock was on and missed a wall.

Wow that's very lucky but also very dangerous as this could cause fatalities  :scared: I really hope not.

That's why you leave it in gear on a hill
