Here's the beast 125 km on the clock from the trip home. Popped into anaconda on the way home and completely missed the car park I was going for, only by half a car width but love it to bits already. Can't wait till the 30th Calidonia river track Wonnangatta then Billy Goats Bluff . Should I be alternating the revs for a bit for the break in?

Nice!
These days you do not need to take things gently when running in.
The advise I was given by many people, as well as the forums, defender2.net, was "Drive it like you stole it"
No problems, as far as I know.
Do keep an eye on the hoses though, especially the intercooler hoses.
