Well Guys,

I never thought the day would come where I would say I have got my 8, well I have it. This car is trually fantastic, it turns heads!!!. Performance is brill - not that I have thrashed it yet!!. Can people that have had the car for a few weeks confirm the checking/topping up of oil after every 2 tanks of fuel?, my dealer stressed this was very important.

At about 1800 miles my oil is roughly half way to the low marker.

Will top up next fillup.

re: oli.....

Have now done over 2500 miles..... gentle break in... followed by a bit of regular redlining....now driving more even paced.... apart from high speed test late Sunday evening.... sorry!

Been checking oil regularly. Added a litre today as level was about 25% between minimum and high levels.

Much better than I expected..... as this will equate to 4 or 5 litres every 10000 miles.
