Right after I mailed I remembered that there are instance variables
and then the rest was a breese:

Test instanceVariable = 1
 Yes Car stop script run
	instanceVariable = 0
 No  Car start script run
	instanceVariable = 1

These instance variables seems to be prototype based. 
Will the extended scripting system have prototype based 
variables ?
