You're welcome, Sammy. And I prefer to think that we've all got experience in different areas.
Amusement time, Kevin? Ok. My previous car was named by my daughter as "Jessica" and I mispronounced that to "Jessie Car". Naturally I needed another "car" name for this one, and "Veroni Car" won.
No, my bike is called "Goldie". I had thought of calling it the Starship Enterprise because of all the bloody buttons it has on it, but "Goldie" seemed simpler.
