You can drive the car back with no cable. Just takes a bit of practice and
anticipation of lights and traffic. It helps if you do it when there are as
few cars as possible on the road.
Just put it in first gear, let the handbrake off and start the engine. Once
you've got it running just balance the throttle (so the car isn't
accelerating or engine braking and there is no load on the gears) then pull
it out of gear like normal match the revs and ease it into the next gear.
You can get smooth upshifts with practice (and you'll get lots driving it
back 45 miles...). Downshifts can be a little clunky but are possible.
If you see something you need to stop for (lights, traffic etc) approach as
slow as possible, with luck by the time you get there the way will be clear.
If you need to stop just take it out of gear and stop. Then turn off engine,
put it in 1st again and repeat above.
