Picked up the car yesterday from Dartford and drove it to norfolk, but wasn't sure how hard to drive it. It had 63 miles on the clock now has 247 miles and goes for its first service at Caterham midlands this Wednesday comming.

Iv'e heard different stories on how to run cars in, any advise for a caterham?

Finding it really hard to stay off the gas. Have been over 5000rpm (and 6000 once)a few times without realising and also locked it up once.

Should I be thinking of brakes as well when running in?
