LOL Funny that I've worked for about 4 German companies no problem (including 5 years in Munich), and I'm British.
You know that Mercedes F1 engines were never built by Germans, but by a British company called Ilmor who are based in Northamptonshire don't you? But don't let little things like facts get in the way of a nice bit of jingoism.
Mclaren's main engine problems have been the tight packaging around the engine causing overheating anyway.
Anyway back on topic - Jochen, this is awesome - thanks so much!! I'd also gladly donate as this has saved me buying a lead to unlock the TV on the move function.
