not yet i've got tuppance to add:
1.) To start the car, put the key in the ignition and turn one notch - this will light up the vitals on the dash.
2.) don't touch anything else at this point other than your seat belt - put it on
3.) next you fully depress the clutch (leave the gear stick in neutral)
4.) once clutch is fully depressed you have permission to switch on the engine
the other tip is don't give it the beans until the thermo meter for the coolant has hit 90 degrees
PLUS a.) add on another 5 minutes drive time for warm weather
b.) add 10 minutes drive time for cold weather
the reason for this is that the thermo is only showing you the temperature of your coolant, not your oil. Your oil takes longer to get up to temperature than the coolant so if you start thrashing it as soon as it shows 90 the likelihood is that you'll be maxing the engine and turbo when your oil temp isn't at optimum causing undue wear and tear. These times are probably a bit longer than necessary but unless you have an oil temp gauge i would always say its better to be safe and sorry when you are operating off guess work.
Final tip is to enjoy, it's a great car to drive, i've had mine for 7 months and i've never driven anything better, it still puts a smile on my face every time i take her out
