Smile To Flog or Not to Flog :)

Come day one, is it pedal to the floor or are you obeying a run in procedure?

I have told the wife that when I get the car I will be taking a couple of days off and heading down to the Margaret River region in the SW of WA - from Dunsborough to Augusta along Caves Rd - a great road with lots of twists and turns. Overnight in Augusta and then head back along the same route. I'd take her with but someone has to look after the kids!

There may well be some flogging along the way - just as long as the Valentine 1 is bright and alert!

This sounds like a great run when are you getting your car?
maybe I could come a long and bring another ONE! :biggrin:
I will certainly be taking her through the rev range, just maybe not to the top....

I will be taking the long way home from the dealer on a route that has 5 stages of Targa Tasmania. I figure even with a run-in ceiling of 4500rpm, I should have some fun. Yee Haa!!

Around $70K on road. I'll let you know once I get it and maybe we can hit the road together. Manual Titanium Silver, Coral Red leather, M Sports package, sunroof, bi-zenon headlights, navigation. Windows will be tinted 19% and I've already purchased personalised Euro-style number plates (BM 125). This is pretty much exactly what she'll look like (with a 125i badge obviously):
