But in this case his car is not holding. Its either the shoes on his car or the cables are jammed. Both my cars were this way (foot parking brake though) - but after cleaning out the brake assembly followed by buffing and lubricating it and finally adjusting it solved all issues - I can park on a hill and press the brake and it wont roll an inch.

Thanks for the clarification. I think I was remembering something I saw on Wheeler Dealers or some such.
That post was intended to be a response to the OP's comment about the short handbrake travel in these cars, but I didn't complete the thought or even direct it effectively. I've noticed that German cars have less handbrake travel than Japanese cars which usually ratchet up quite a bit when you pull the lever.
