Breaking in an Elise - believe the dealer?

[onedsla]

Hi,
Just picked up an S2 111S yesterday which I'm enjoying very much. I've driven 160 miles carefully, below 3000rpm & very light throttle.

My question is, do I believe the dealer who says I should start streching it a little more after 300 miles (he said 4000rpm), or obey the advise in the handbook about waiting until 600 miles before increasing the revs / throttle?

any thoughts, comments or advice welcome.
Cheers,
Dave

Do MG ask the same when running in the TF 160 etc?

Oh, and why do they have to put so much salt on the roads?? I've only had it 3 days and washed it twice already!!
