You said you'd written to her before, so presumably she has replied to you. How did she sign it? Ms, Mrs or Jane? First contact should be Dear Sir/Madam, or Dear Ms Doe. Subsequent contact use whatever she signs off as.

Isn't insurance just a different kind of crowd funding - before vs after the event?

iirc age is derived from the donor car, so even if the kit was built this year the new car is given the identity(reg plate, age, exclusion from taxation) from the donor vehicle

I read somewhere that professionally written code has 1 bug every 10 lines, so I make a point of deliberately putting in 1 bug every 10 lines. It makes it much easier to find when debugging.

VS2008 SP1 C++. Whats bad: 1- Hit a breakpoint, change some code, introduce a typo, re-compile. Output window says there is an error but no indication of what or where. Click edit to fix the error, error list is empty. I have to stop debugging and re-compile to see the error in the output window. 2- Try to add a breakpoint, IDE indicates the edit code is different to the compiled code, even though a re-build all took place. Have to context select 'location' and 'allow code to differ' 3- Multithreaded debugging -known issue with multiple patches, none of which work. see MSDN-Visual Studio 2008 SP1 Stepping and Breakpoint Issues Whats Good: better experience than VS2003 and VS2005 after moving from VS6. I continued using VS6 after trying VS2003 and VS2005. Steve
