back in the 60's my dad bought a new Mini. Turquoise AWB 237 B (amazing how we remember these things innit  ) And he had to run it in. He was told don't go above 50mph until it had done 500 miles. We happened to be on one of those new motorway roads at the time, on our holidays. As soon as the odometer reached 500 miles he put his foot down and sped up to 70 mph. I was so excited to be going so fast and just stared at the speedo.
I think the idea was to then take it to a garage to get the bolts checked to make sure none had vibrated loose. Can't remember that happening though.
He also had an Austin Cambridge at one stage (the type with the fins) I really liked that car.
Ahh, memories
