Congrats mate, I pretty much did what Ben did in terms of run in period, I did the 2000km thing but tried to keep my rpms below 4k at all times. Now I 'tried' to do this...... but at about 1500km a VE GTS pulled up next to me.....
I think just treat it nicely for 2000km don't exceed 4000rpm and you'll be right. These newer engines aren't as rough from production (precision built now) as older engines were back in the day, thats why the run in periods have dropped significantly from 5000km which was the norm up until about 10 years ago... It doesn't hurt to drive calmly for the 2000km thats only a short time in the life of the car...
As Darren said, the meet on the 24th is compulsory. It would be good to get a few other members on these meets and partners/friends are welcome!
