providing multiple outputs from a form web part to data view or list web parts.

I am trying to create a filter from a form web part that has multiple
fields to complete. When go is pressed, a list of all those entries
that contain all the required data is shown in the data view web part.

For example, I could have a list of details of all available cars in
the data view web part and a car selection form as a form web part. You
could then select, for example, a 'blue' 'peugeot' 'with air
conditioning', with each entry selected from a drop down list.

I can currently do this as long as i am filtering using only one
criteria i.e. 'blue' or 'peugeot', but not both. I can create the form
web part and add a web part connection to pass the output of the form
to the data view web part's [input parameter]. I can then add a filter
to the data view web part to display only those entries whose 'colour
equals [input parameter]'.

This works fine for a single criteria but not for multiple criteria. I
cannot create multiple connections between these 2 web parts, so how
can i pass the multiple values needed for extra filter categories?

Current set up is Windows Sharepoint Portal Server 2003.
