I had closed before any answer was given. Believe me, I am not sitting here trying to take advantage of other people.
df49f (X) Jul 12, 2005:
how come you closed without giving Amy at least a couple of points which she deserved for putting you on the right track to (double) parking brake??
Non-ProZ.com Jul 12, 2005:
To Gad: "double parking brake". I hope it helps you. The syntagm appears in google links as well.
Gina W Jul 12, 2005:
I do quite a of automotive translations and would be grateful if you could post the answer you found elsewhere, since I couldn't find it in any of my industry-specific resources. Thanks so much.
Non-ProZ.com Jul 12, 2005:
Thanks a lot Amy, but as far as I know, handbrake is frein � main. In any case, thanks a lot for your help.
Non-ProZ.com Jul 12, 2005:
