no offence to anyone on here, but the engines are already bedded in.  As long as you don't thrash it from cold then the engine/gear box will be fine.

Most of us on here won't be keeping our cars for more than 3 or 4 years - If you ran a parallel test of a car that was "gently" run-in opposed to driving normally, after 4 yrs you wouldn't notice a difference. Yes, if i was keeping my car for 20 years i'd be giving it a kiss every night :rolleyes:

The car is there to be enjoyed, not pussyfooted for 3000 miles. jesh!

rant mode off.
