We're having far, far too much fun to be worried about all this detailing malarkey  ;D

Fully run in now and improving by the mile.


How could you,  :o  It will go faster with dirt removed. ;D

White for me, then I am a detailing nut so it will not be a chore.

    I think they generally tell you to take it easy in the first 1000 miles, in the VWs I had they would always recommend not exceeding 75% of the vehicles top speed and avoid high revs.

    Will be interesting to see Krad's fuel figures after his trip home. I wonder how long it'll take for the engines to really settle in?

    oh well ..... after about 350 -400 miles i couldnt resist any more.... iv already told my story on this forum about my little race with a chav'ed up alfa 145 .... probably not the best idea in the world but hey ho ;)

    I don't think I'll be able to last 10 minutes without giving it the beans.  :whistle:

    Take it easy boy, although might sneak up behind ya on the M65 if you're pootling along too slowly and zoom past, leaving you in my diesel dust!  :thumb:

    Dizzy Wibbly Wobbly Farty Noises LOL -- that just won't do... but I've got to do something to slow you down -- there's the weight difference to make up!  I'm at least 2 of you  :'(
