Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

I've read several articles about hard brake in and they sound good. Only problem for me is don't think I'll ever buy new.

From watching too much TV, How stuffs made/Megafactories etc, it looks like a lot of manufactures run new vehicles up to to full power once they leave the production line, so saying to only use a couple of thousand revs when they've already red lined it.
