Hi All,
I think this will turn out to ber quite hard to do as there are just so
many possibilities and variations, eg 
two cars.
I think the best we can come up with is a small number of key ones and

I won't make any suggestions at this time as I have not really thought it
through but let's use the KISS 
principle and try to keep our blood pressure down.
Cheers
Ron
