Be at least that careful! Light loads and varied revs are the go for sure.

I had one guy a (mechanic!) tell me that, whenever he re-built an engine, he found a hill and ran the vehicle up it in top gear with full throttle. He claimed it "bedded everything in".

What a load of bollocks!

I bet you've got over 500kms on it by Sunday arvo! The weather's looking good for this weekend.

Looks like rain here, hope to do a few kms though, to do 500km I would have to do a full lap of the state!

The impending rain's a bit of a bummer but at least it'll make sure the throttle hand behaves itself!

A lap of Tasmania...could be dodgy slang couldn't it??. Only the Aussies will get that one

Sorry mate, my mistake. Good to see the NZ contingent are on the same page.

So much for my good weather prediction. It's blowing a gale and freezing here...sunny though.

How's she running jarvid? Are you behaving?
