I suppose you know of a better, portable way?

If I knew one, I surely would have told you about it.

But you haven't paid anything for that car (besides lots of help and
testing effort, of course, for which I would like to thank you!), and
that car is hardly a sportive one as it one has to run on crooked train
tracks that run alongside a steep slope, and be prepared for falling
rock.  With such a rough car, a key mark is hardly noticeable.  ;-)

Ah, and I write myself with 'f'.

Cheers,
