Scirocco Central

It is finally time to pick up my Roc. And what a pick-up it will be! From the plane into Heathrow to the dealer and right off to Bulgaria. About 1500 miles of driving across the continent - in a brand new Scirocco!!! I am a bit worried about driving 3 days in a row in a sports coupe as those are not the most famous cruisers but I am sure I will be fine. As long as I have no problems with police (temp reg numbers and insurance), and, of course, no accidents, I am sure I will enjoy every bit of it. I've been reading discussions on running-in and I hope my Roc would have "settled down" by the time I reach German autobahns. I've quite some time compiling a 16gb USB so the Dynaudio setup better be good

Expect photos next week (I hope Austrian Alps provide amazing photo opps). Thanks for the tons of useful info in this forum that has made the 4 month wait manageable.

Wow that will be one amazing run in sashpe!!!

hope you have got plenty of batteries for the camera as the memory definitely needs to be preserved for the future!

Enjoy!!

Try to avoid long periods of cruising at the same RPM, on the motorways vary your speed now and then,

Running at a constant RPM whilst running in can cause glazing of the bores

Have fun

Was just to write the same! This will be an amazing pick-up, I hope you have a good camera!
Good luck mate!

that is definitely how everyone should start there journey with a new roc. It sounds like so much fun, i can't imagine your going to be doing the best mpg for that time

Thanks! Didn't know that! Is 70 to 85mph good enough of a variance? I really doubt it that there is much of a difference in rpm varying between i.e. 77 and 83. May be I will revive the run-in topic.

My camera is not the best but it will do the job. It's sad that I will have to rush as I am putting my job at risk. Anyway...it is going to be awesome!

Yeah, I would think a difference of 10 -15 KMH variation should be fine on the long stretches

Just dont hit the cruise control & leave it at the same speed for 300 KM !

I'm sure you'll be be doing enough "playing with your new toy" to avoid this anyway even on the long boring motorway bits

You're gonna love this car !
