You finally got it eh?!?!?! I haven't seen you around town on the road yet ;)

As for the break in period... They run the engines at redline and as soon as they install the final bolt on the engine. As soon as they leave the final line they run the cars hard before going to the marshalling yard to check for problems.

My opinion if you run it hard from the start anything with a flaw should fail, and fail early under warranty. I did not push my F hard for the first 300kms to allow the brakes to 'settle' in as per the manual. After that point however, I have been driving it like I plan to. That is, I drive as if the gas pedal was an on/off button rather than a gradual accelerator :D

Some QC engineers at work see my logic as far as the break in period others laugh and shake their head... but perhaps they know me to well...

Survey takes a week or two after delivery.

As for system damage (scratches and the like during transport) go over with a fine tooth comb!

My rear bumper fascia was missing a clip and the rear silencer pad was also loose as a result. Should have been caught during PDI. I have a feeling a chain hook may have snagged it when they removed it from the train or over the road carrier. They are fixing that tomorrow as well. Some minor scuffs and scratches I did notice likely from someone wearing jeans with rivets. I am going to mention those as well and see what happens.
