Glossary

10-4 - 10-codes are widely used in radio transmissions. (Even the British police use them, though the meanings of the various numbers vary from force to force.) 10-4, in this context, is an affirmative response.

10-9 - Repeat last message.

Bear - See 'Smoky Bear'.

Cab-over - Style of lorry where the cab sits directly over the engine, ie there's no bonnet. Nearly all British lorries are 'cab-overs'.

Chi-town - Chicago, Illinois.

Chicken coops - Weigh Stations.

Copy - 'You gotta copy on me?': Are you receiving me?

Flip-flop - 'On the flip-flop': On the return journey.

Front door - To have the front door means to lead a convoy. Not surprisingly, to have the back door (which isn't used in the song) means to bring up the rear.

Hammer - 'Put the hammer down': To put your foot down.

I-one-oh - Interstate 10.

Rigs - Vehicles, especially trucks.

Rubber Duck - Decoy. A lone truck which goes ahead of the main convoy to draw police patrols out of hiding.

Smokies - See 'Smoky Bear'.

Smoky Bear - Police. Apparently the US Forestry Service some years ago ran a publicity campaign to encourage people to be careful not to start fires, which involved a large bear in a police-style uniform. The bear was called 'Smoky Bear', and the name started to be applied to the police.

Suicide jockey - Driver hauling a dangerous load.

Twenty - 10-20. Home destination.

[New Defender to be test driven]

Just seen the end of Fifth Gear they said "they would be test driving the New defender Next week that the 11 June 07" I think they said on 38" tyres just a early warning for those that have just got a new Defender...

[adv wng - X-Eng Challenge]

Hi James, you can put me down as a marshal again. f+c order later on

[Roof Lights]

Chris forget the lights, get the back chopped off, winch front an back, then you can beat the land rover boys

Victor

If you want to beat the landie boys why not get a truck for off road not for standing on your driveway...

I am taking my time I am only learning!! 1 step at the time!! but I think it will be a bit hard to beat Martin & Derick at the moment think they both got 80punches at the OEC event yesterday.

enjoy your trip..
