Take it round the industrial estate and try and pull some donuts!!
That'll soon burn it off....only thing is that it will burn off the tread, probably your clutch and break your pride and joy.
Just like old times in the old red astra, eh mate?

two big buckets of nearly boiling water and a whole bottle of fairy liquid....
apply water/soap mix with bog brush and scrub viciously....
the seconf bucket is to wash away the oil stains on your monoblock when your finnished...
dont just leave it, it may feel fine but every bit of standing water will bring more oil out of the treads and onto the contact surface..
Been there and nearly killed myself in a Suzuki Cappacinno...
Well it moves... might as well make the most of it....
