Cheers Nath & Dave-o

Black is always fastest Zoom-zoom

Altho I didn't like paying £50 to fill up with a tank of Optimax

Altho the range is now 360 miles as opposed to the 310 I was making on Regular and the mpg is up a lil bit

Rob I suggest driving it to Santa Pod and as you breach the 600 mile mark give her some proper stick.

Then a minimum of four realy ubusive runs up the strip should complete the running in process, all bar a couple more thousand miles of ragging.

My little runaround was quite sulky at first and didn't feel like she wanted to do more than about 136, but as she loosened up she trickled over 140 easily and has now achieved 151.

I await the opportunity to crack the 155 limiter.

Germany here I come.
