I left you today
Sitting on the forecourt

With a lump in my throat
I bid you farewell

Whoever takes you next
I hope they will love you

Three points and a fine we ammassed
But I'll happily forgive that

One day we'll meet up I'm sure
But now you are no longer mine

So much fun we had
Driving all over our fair land

Making way for the logical step
I hope you understand

Justin, so what about your M14 order - selling your position perhaps?

Give up the M14 - never!

I fancied an "interium" step....

Congratulations Joust, sounds like a great purchase. How quick will this one be around Badgerbend at Brunters?

I would not be suprised to see you appear in the new years honours list with recognition of your tireless support for the UK sportscar industry

lol. Must confess there are times I find myself drawn to owning a 4x4. Mostly because I know it would piss off Ken Livingstone

Talking of running in; can anyone tell me what the running in period is and what the rev limit should be? I should have my M400 before Xmas so am trying to train myself to limit the right foot ;-)

If the roads around you are anything like the ones near me were on Sat, going above the running in rev limit will probably put you in a ditch anyway

4000 rpm max for the first 1000 miles until first service. This will limit you to being able to apply silly amounts of power and do around 100 mph.

Also run in the brakes as it says in the owners manual - useful info also available here:- www.coolrotor.com/whitepapers/warped_rotors_myth.htm
