I didn’t know it was even possible to part quote, I always full quote and cut out the bits I don’t want which is lengthy yes (on the phone).
On the pc it makes no difference to me though as it is easy to cut out

Now, Sterling grey Z4 2.2 with cup holders, stubby aerial and sport seats. Roadsters ‘cause they’re great with the roof down.
Ford Anglia, Red Sprite, a few MG midgets, MGB Roadster and yellow Ford Capri, all gone many years now.
