If you read my post it says that 'they treat the cars as if they were their own'.

Even worse then!  They'll be doing 60 in the outside lane, telling everyone else to slow down, not paying attention to the road and struggling to get the petrol nozzle into the car  :laugh:

 :grin:  The point is I wouldn't trust Morgan Freeman in 'Driving Miss Daisy' to drive my car, let alone some old joker who probably gets paid a pitance to drive up and down the M1.  Anyways, if you pick up your own motor then you've done loads of 'breaking in' miles before you've even got home!

No, that's not what I'm saying. If you read my post it says that 'they treat the cars as if they were their own'. Which means not thrashing them and not driving like looneys. Even though I'm sure they are very capable of it.

They have to say that, but do you really think that a retired guy in a GTI/GTD wouldn't "test it out"?!  I'd be collecting mine myself, or getting it shipped on a trailer!

You pay so much money for the car why would you want someone else to get the pleasure of driving it for the first few hundred miles of its life. Absolutely no way
