Alternatively we could just drive our own cars as best we can, and not bother about the oddities displayed by others. Just a thought.... 8-) Best wishes all, Dave - just as laid back (and unhelpful) as ever. ;) Unfortunately other peoples oddities often have an adverse affect on us. Nigel. Yes of c...
