Im Scared!!!

So today I washed Haggis and checked all his vital fluids before starting him for the first time in 3 weeks....First turn and BROOOOMMM!!! Great, So moved him down the drive and gave him a wash....Shiney!!! Then I thought what the hell lets go for a scud. Anyway after I let him warm up for a while it was time to plant the throtle and let him off the leash, Up untill now ive been sticking to 5000-5500 revs and been very happy with the performance...But today he was runing soooo smoothly that I thought "what the hell" lets go to 7000.......OMG!!OMG!! ITS A WHOLE NEW BALL GAME beyond 6000 revs....I scared the bejesus out of myself and had the wheels spining in third...and not just a chirp when changing gear, I mean really spinning......ok so the road was mildly moist....but still....bloody hell that was a first for me..

For Fecks sake this is to much for an old man!!

I really love my mini.

In mine when I change up a gear at around 3000, it sounds like its revving hard, and scares passengers further when I occasionally double it hahah :thumbsup:
