(No, OK, don't answer that: it's like
some little boys think a Peugeot hatchback is a mechanism for
generating rhythmic thuds. All I can say is, when I had one I
didn't
use it that way, and I don't generally employ my bit of Usenet to
get
howls of protest, either. I bet small-n ned has a Fiesta.)

Sorry big-M Mike big-L Lyle. Lost your bet, big time! :-)
'Got to admit that I started off with a 1936 Ford 8 but, that was
some
50 years ago.

Oh, well, if betting was certain, it wouldn't be betting! Maybe
that's why I only do it this way! (Was that a V8 Pilot, by any
chance? Or did they come later? You can baffle me any time with
cars.)
