Break-in Period... I Think I Need a Cold Shower...
Today was the day! Signed the papers and picked up my Carrera T. What a BLAST! Just back from a good 200km rip up the local hills and the beautiful Sea to Sky Hwy.
And jeepers - with trying to keep the revs low during the break-in period I feel like I need a cold shower! This is going to be a KILLER experience to get through. How long do I need to go before I can take it up into the higher rev ranges?
Anyways, it's an amazing car! Here are a few obligatory pics... :
And the non-LWBS in leather and Sportex? Love them. Way better than I expected. So happy to have them.

Creepers! Here is the regimen I followed. Worked great, got me to know how the car acted at different parts of the range, and zero issues thus far. Just went over 3,000 miles with a two month sit while I was away for a bit...

Here's a map of may 200Km day one rip.

Yes - something like that, right? Nelson - some of the best roads in the world there. I'll touch there on our PCA Zone 6 Grand Tour this next month.
Excellent Christopher. The Sea to Sky is the best but... bristling with RCMP these days.
Thanks so much for this. I really need it and to be honest, there MIGHT have been a few times I exceeded 4000!

Well here's my T...had it for about 3 months, such an incredible car, especially on the canyon roads here in LA. I bought the AMMO NYC waterless car wash supplies but forgot to order the microfiber towels for the wheels, so ignore how dirty they are in a few pictures. Wish I had more time to drive it even more...
