mine has 4 miles on it...and a cable hanging out of the A pillar which has now been fixed. Excuse the rubbish photo

Looks lovely.
What do you think has caused the gouge on the paint?

They should be able to sort that out without any bother - are you all set to drive it at 12.01 tonight?

It's going to be almost impossible to get any sleep tonight buzzing with excitement, but Here is a question to all new gti, & gtd owners, how many miles are you going to do  until you give it the full beans, because I'm thinking of raging of the forecourt, what harm could it do.

The manual states to run in over the first 1000 miles (limit revs, don't keep at constant revs for any period of time). That's what I do with new cars anyway.

Whatever you think of that with regards to the engine, remember you are also running in the tyres, brakes etc. for the first few hundred miles....

I'll probably do the full 1000 miles run in, but because this is a second car it might take 2months before I can't probably drive it, maybe I'll do lands end & back for the hell of it.

Opinions differ about the 1000 miles - I've often wondered if there is any point after 300 miles or so but completed the run in just in case...

Anyway, enjoy the new cars tomorrow everyone!
