I appreciate how annoying its going to be to collect your new Ferrari and find you cant give it any beans for 1000 miles until its run in. The frustration must be terrible for you.
However - don't fear. I've got a solution for you. As a token of my gratitude for providing these forums for us, I'll offer to collect the car from you and run it in for you according to the manufacturers instructions, and drop it back freshly vacuumed, ready for you to use it properly. For this I will make no charge.
How does that sound? I have excellent credentials - I am told I am the only person to ever observe the running in process on one of BMW's courtesy cars![]()
I'd let you do it, but then I earn 16k a year so don't have the luxury of a decent brand new vehicle.

Surely the frustration would be worse for you? Could you really do 1k miles in a 599 without dropping it into second and nailing it? I think I'd go insane![TW]Fox;13603851 said:Spie,
