Free off brakes after a short lay up help

[Tyre Smoke]

At the beginning of the year the wife parked her MX5 on the corner of our drive and we sorned it.

Stupidly I didn't check it and it's spent the last two months out in the rain sleet and snow with the handbrake firmly engaged. I've just started it up (no issues there at all) and released the handbrake. I've got one rear wheel to turn by gently rocking the car back and forth in first/reverse. I'm unsure how bad the brakes will be, so don't want to give it too much beans. One side of the car has been sheltered against a low wall, the other a bit more exposed. It's nothing too dramatic, just give it beans?

Give it some revs and drop the clutch.

Not quite what I did, because our drive is gravel! But close.

All good now chaps.

MX5s do like to have a sticking caliper it's true.

This one had just had new discs and pads and a new NSF caliper.
