No problem, Mark. Glad to help out. :-)
For sure, Hoons aren't car enthusiasts - far from it... they
are maniacs on wheels ;)
Hope you're enjoying Chopper - he's quite a character down
here...

Aussie slang?
Steve, in the states, it'd be gearhead (although your
description goes further than that relatively benign label of
a car enthusiast), not
"petrolhead." We fill our cars with gas, not petrol. Or maybe
Lemmy's a hoon, being a Motorhead.
All joking aside, thanks for the clarification.
Mark
