Yes, 'twas me who enquired about where to send royalty payments for our use
of the name "Redcar" (or "RedCar", or "Red Car") as applied to my wife's
'72 LeMans. However, on further reflection, some difficulties arose:

1) We do not know how we are spelling the name, as we have never mentioned
   the car in writing to each other.

2) We have a tendency to preface it with "The"; e.g. "Dear, there's a big
   puddle of green fluid under The Red Car again."

3) With all due respect to Scott #1 (who I believe had the first _car_ of
   that name), I checked with my parents just now and verified that Redcar
   is a _place_; specifically, it's a horse recing track in Yorkshire, home
   of "Racing from Redcar" on the BBC, I believe. I reserve the right to be
   wrong about counties and titles, however.
