Ozi,
Yes but if people use a different format then the data us useless. I have other areas on the site asking for information such as this and even specifing examples only to find that people will still work out how to enter the data in other fashions. In this case I would expect some to use litres and other to enter cubic centimetres such as 2200 or 1800. This would make the data wrong.
So I tend to try to err on the side of easiness for the users and make db fields that I want to sort on use defined lists of entires.
Thanks for the entries I will adjust the table tomorrow.
