Lol.

Reminds me of the night I took Sisters Panda to a massive carpark and had fun in the snow with half of the lads from college doing handbrake turns and the like

I got the video somewhere but dare not show here

God that was a good night

Keep light load on engine, etc, but for how long? 1500 miles? up to first service?

help!

I thought there was a thread on here with the owners tech manual but can I find it ?... anyone any ideas thanks ?

temperature gauge works fine but her indoors is a bit vague about what it's for, until clouds of smoke came about exhaust she was oblivious. It really does seem to have caused no ill effects whatsoever,
