-=[ Registry tweaks ]=-

[Huw Powell]

that is certainly more manageable... though i would tend to an even more
"spartan" list (perhaps with subcategories if wanted?  ie under 4k you
could choose "all", or from a list of slight variants, or by year....

Also i would tend to think the "wacky stuff", ie turbo transplants,
might be better off under their own main heading, like "custom" (with
subheadings... "all", "4kqt", "80qt", "erstatz RS2" etc.)  

Also, when adding (or updating) an entry the user could pick what
categories their car should come under?
