Default The Magic Number 2000

https://rennlist.com/forums/attachme...1&d=1358286726

Hit 2000 miles this afternoon!!! So, officially broken in!

Wow, above 5000 rpm this car is absolutely ballistic!

You need some space on the road to let the revs run out because this car is so damn fast - I love it!!!

And the sound of the PSE is just incredible!

I couldn't resist that impulse either, except I spotted a viewpoint and pulled over to get a picture at exactly 2000 miles:

I am at 1200 or so and I won't see the seat until March. Even in March those tires do not like the cold! It is killing me!

You actually managed to wait 2000 miles before getting to 5000 RPM ???

Wow, I doff my hat to you Sir. That is an example of self control very few can match. It makes an Indian Guru sleeping on a bed of nails look so yesterday...

Well done. I did not even manage 100 miles....

Well the odd excursion up to around 5000 rpm after I'd done 1500 miles or so but not really flooring it until now!
