Mais c'est vrai qu'à me relire, je pouvais tout aussi bien parler de la courbure desdits bouts de feraille... @ dsl: It's said that "a picture is worth a thousand words", but sometimes words help more. I had difficulties to describe the 1965+ bumper as I didn't know how to say "indented". Thanks for helping me to improve my vocabulary -- Last edit: 2015-09-07 05:14:24
