Default please pass, running in!

Remember the signs people used to put on their cars.
(I was going to say old classics, but they were everyday cars then)

I remember passing some of them almost every weekend.
XW's, XY's, XA's, XB's

Many of them had a hand written sign on the back window:
PLEASE PASS RUNNING IN

What the hell was all that about!
Have you seen how Ford runs in their engines?
By thrashing them in the factory to bed them in properly.

But I know the real reason for the signs ...
Back then, we all had to prove ourselves on the roads, and if we happen to line up with an old monaro at the lights, well we had a legit excuse!

Sorry ... no go turkey! can't you read the sign!
They were the good ol days...
