Steve, Jim,

Here is Jim's original posting:

Notice, Steve, that Jim says "front of my Tiger". Now, unless you are
driving a Volkswagen conversion, I believe you're instructions, although
given in exquisite detail, pertain to the wrong end of the car. Perhaps you
could submit supplemental instructions for the front (eyebrow). Thankfully,
the ordering of the letters from left to right remains the same. {8->)
