LSD is still breaking in, apologies for the clunking and chatter that will undoubtedly be present!

It should be a lot more broken in by then, as I've already done 200miles on it (I did the full figure of 8 and oil change break in don't worry).

Anyone coming from London?

Lease car? Otherwise I wouldn't want to red line a brand new car. Unless it's a Ferrari or whatever that's already had its engine run-in at the factory.

No, not a lease car. I'll probably have put a few more miles on it by then, and I doubt one quick run up to the red line with a warm engine after a few hundred miles will do much harm.

Sadly not a Ferrari, but an M135i.

But with your 0-60 time, would you be able to keep up witht hem?

If it's wet on the roads then maybe yes.

Will there be tea?

Fuzz · 20 Apr 2015 at 22:58

Has everyone got a proper gearbox this time or are my toys going to have to come out of the pram when the damn thing won't stay in the gear I want

Vita · 20 Apr 2015 at 22:58

Green tea

mrk · 20 Apr 2015 at 22:59

I have a proper man's gearbox, if that counts? Green tea...

Hospitality is not my employers strong point, I have tried in the past but nothing gets done on that front I'm afraid.
I shall ask again but don't hold your breath...

A proper kettle, none of this machine served plastic cup nonsense please!

Working on a burger van, no point even mentioning it at work, I'll try and sort it myself..

Road is no longer closed, they have finished digging up the bridge so that's open again. We just have four way traffic lights to contend with at the final mini roundabout into our trading estate.
Nothing too dramatic for a Saturday morning. Most of Northway will still be in bed

mrk · 20 Apr 2015 at 23:41

I wasn't being serious of course! There's no need to put yourself into bother over it

Mine's got the ZF 8 speed auto box...I think it can be forced to hold a gear by sticking it in sport mode and manually shifting.

Fuzz · 20 Apr 2015 at 23:50

That's OK.

I think people would appreciate the effort / something to eat though

Unless you are prepared to walk 10 mins offsite round to the BP/M&S or Starbucks, there isn't really anything else available and it's going to be a longer day than normal as well.
