    Bumpety bump. Instead of just posting up with items like this ... USE THE DAMNED SEARCH FUNCTION!

    Bump

    Thought it might be time to resurrect this ol' thing and demonstrate a bit more of my ignorance ... in other words, ask for some help with terminology definitions ... such as:

    1. 'Shave' (as in 'a shaved panel').

    My guess is that unwanted (or considered unnecessary) items are removed from a panel, holes are filled & sanded and a respray makes the whole thing look very smooth and uncluttered.

    Any additions / alterations to that summation welcome.

    Um ... I'm sure I'm far more ignorant than just that one item ... I'll have to add stuff as it occurs to me.

    ABS - most people recognise this as "Anti-skid Braking System"

    however, Topgear magazine recently published that it stands for "Antiblokiersystem" (originally developed in 1929 in France for planes)
