Jody,

That is brilliant!  - about your daughter I mean.  My daughter was 
dead keen on my cars and she was the only one who wanted to drive my 
old Maserati - others were scared of its power.   But now my 
granddaughter leans more to cars than my grandson.  I have a 
delightful photo of her helping me with the MGB GT V8 when when was 
about 11.  Give your daughter a hug from me !!
