Finally got Carol to take it around the block a few times yesterday.
It'd be noice to have her do Q-Ride before Christmas.

Had this old fellow look at me then pull put from the side street ...
thankfully I was travelling slow so just a little lean and no problems. But
this old fart actually saw me, he looked then still pulled out......And as
for Cox's Corally to Murp...well have proven that correct on quite a few
previous occasions but hopefully not this time
Anyway had a nice run through the national park , at the moment 7000rpm is
the limit whilst breaking in and thats about 180k's >> Stay informed about: Finally have the new BMW |

Not that you would really know, being that there is nowhere you can legally
do that except for the track and the NT (though not for much longer)
