nice one, run her in gently tho

 

[172gal]

Great stuff Jon! Yep we expect a full report ASAP please

Ta for the email by the way!

Oh did you go for climate in your cup?

 

[Jon1978]

No - just a standard Cup... nothing to slow it down.

Am off to Newcastle tomorrow. Will take it really gently, and plan to run her in for around 500-1000 miles. Dealer recommended 500 miles at around 3,500revs. But she goes like the clappers, and in spite of lack of anti-lock brakes, brakes are superb. Very strong!

Oh, and 172gal, you should have no probs finding our meet, as you have SATnav!!!

God. I have just woken in a cold sweat. I had a nightmare. I was driving my new Cup - in my dream - and I went round a right hand bend a little too fast, and rolled to my left into the field... twice!


Aaaaggggghhhhh.


Had to go to garage in my boxers just to check she was alright. Phew! But, my word, it is cold out there. Sunny, mind!
