Yes, thanks for the answer, I will try it out. Perhaps you can
explain something to me. In what way is it a problem to post in the 2
Honda groups?

Not a problem to do it, but you should take care to do it right.

Had you cross-posted it to relevant groups, any responses would have also
cross-posted (unless the author specifically turned off the other
groups), therefore showing the answer to all the groups...

To borrow a page from the manual of pedantry, 2 hardly qualifies as
"multi".

OK, sounds reasonable. But the last time I posted in Usenet, I did
just that and somebody ticked me off for X-posting, again in just 2
groups. You can't win!

crosspost to two or three groups that are relevant to your post.
