First time tonight I opened my car up when temp gauge was on 60 degrees, (usually 80 when warm),
Was a little blip in 1st gear upto around 4000rpm, then same in second... then driven normally...

Will this affect the engine? Being the first time its been done by me...

Oooh you're a bad boy and no mistake. You really like to live life on the wild side eh? Do you ever go swimming within two hours of a big meal? Run with scissors? Take paperclips from work?

So what did you do today that was really awful Dave?

Well I revved my engine to nearly two thirds of its redline when it wasn't quite completely hot. But then I'd never have managed to run that f**king hobo over if I hadn't gunned it. Another notch on the front bumper. Oh yeah baby.
Hahaha!
Everything seems fine!
Just paranoid as people say never to boot a turbo car until its hot!
