Title: Do you baby your engines during the first miles? Post by: alex d on September 05, 2008, 10:33:13 am let's say I have a friend, who has a fresh engine with just 100km and I, er...he just had to pass that BMW, so the speedo needle went off the scale :P
do you favor conservative break-ins or you prefer to step on it ("if it's gonna break it will break anyway") Title: Re: Do you baby your engines during the first miles? Post by: BeetleBug on September 05, 2008, 11:43:48 am Step on it! Find a steep hill and drive it like you stole it.
