Unfortunately for you, it does. You live in a country, and have a passport from, a country that is part of the European Economic Community. This makes you a European. What is it that's so hard to understand about this concept? -- Steve H 'You're not a real petrolhead unless you've owned an Alfa Romeo' www.italiancar.co.uk - Honda VFR800 - Hongdou GY200 - Alfa 75 TSpark Alfa 156 2.0 TSpark - B6 Passat 2.0TDI - COSOC KOTL BoTAFOT #87 - BoTAFOF #18 - MRO # - UKRMSBC #7 - Apostle #2 - YTC #

If I were to move to Mars, would that make me a Martian..? I am still not a European and nothing you say will ever make me say I am. Stop trying.
