Not yet. Cataract and serious dental work has priority right now. Did I mention here that when it started to accelerate while my foot was on the brake I shifted into neutral and tapped the gas pedal? Worked like a charm. That makes the problem much less serious. -- Cheers, Bev xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx "Faster, faster, until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death." -- Hunter S.
