well, I don't back off on the pressure - EVER! Mine has about 110,000 miles on it, and runs really, really well - I take care of it, running it fast in straight lines, like the highway (210 km's/h - miles? dunno...) I let the turbo cool down for about 1 minute before each shut down and frequent oil changes... For leather care I turn to Jaguar Hide Food - awesome stuff! - my chairs are nice and soft...I don't know much about adding all the junk to it, like the louvres and the sheepskin and the aero kit..... Enjoy the car and if you have other questions, let's hear 'em! :) More info about my car on my site, including service history... http://webhome.idirect.com/~kerrhens Michael 1990 900 SPG Stephen Strock wrote: > Greetings to everyone on the newsgroup. > > I recently took delivery of a 1990 SPG (Black / Grey) in absolutely mint > condition - amazed that it has 145K on it.
