Default Hit 1000 miles today

Have been really good and notching the revs up gradually since she hit 600 miles.

Today we hit the 1000 mile mark - I topped her up with oil this morning so, is it acceptable to warm her up gently on the way home and then rev the balls off her?

Have you taken the airbox lid off yet? I can't believe I'm still banging on about that, but it truly has opened my eyes. And ears!

It's important you thrash it now ..... once warm .... and get as many miles on it as quickly as possible !

It gets much better the more miles that go on it

I love my car (and yes, my usual 20 minute commute took an hour last night - and not because of bad traffic!!)
