MCoupe break-in procedures (archive)

Hi all;

I should get my coupe in a couple of weeks but will be a couple of hundred miles from home without too much opportunity to peruse the owners manual before setting off. Therefore I would like to get advance information about break-in procedures (I don't trust just asking the salesman). I have read snippets about keeping it under 5000 rpm until 1200 miles but is there anything else in the manual? What about the old "vary the speed" or anything on hard braking or accelleration? You can probably imagine I'm fired up about this and don't want to do something stupid right off the bat, nor do I want to be driving like a whimp if I don't have to. Thanks in advance.

Cheers, JSV
future '00 MCoupe, Dakar (and that coveted black/gray interior!).
