Convoy Lyrics -

Uh, Breaker One-Nine, this here's the Rubber Duck

You got a copy on me Pig-Pen? C'mon

Uh, yeah 10-4 Pig Pen, fer sure, fer sure

By golly it's clean clear to Flag-Town, C'mon

Uh, yeah, that's a big 10-4 Pig-Pen,

Yeah, we definitely got us the front door good buddy,

Mercy sakes alive, looks like we got us a convoy

Was the dark of the moon, on the sixth of June

In a Kenworth, pullin' logs

Cabover Pete with a reefer on

And a Jimmy haulin' hogs

We 'as headin' fer bear on I-One-Oh

'Bout a mile outta Shaky-Town

I sez Pig-Pen, this here's the Rubber Duck

An' I'm about to put the hammer on down

Cause we gotta little ol' convoy, rockin' through the night

Yeah we gotta little ol' convoy, ain't she a beautiful sight?

Come on an' join our convoy, ain't nothin' gonna git in our way

We're gonna roll this truckin' convoy, cross the USA

Convoy... Convoy...

Uh, breaker Pig-Pen, this here's The Duck

Uh, you wanna back off them hogs

10-4, 'bout five mile or so, 10-roger

Them hogs is gittin' in-tense up here

By the time we got into Tulsa-Town

We had eighty-five trucks in all

But they's a road block up on the clover leaf

An' them bears 'as wall to wall

Yeah them smokies 'as thick as bugs on a bumper

They even had a bear-in-the-air

I sez callin' all trucks, this here's The Duck

We about to go a huntin' bear

Cause we gotta great big convoy, rockin' through the night

Yeah we gotta great big convoy, ain't she a beautiful sight?

Come on an' join our convoy, ain't nothin' gonna git in our way

We're gonna roll this truckin' convoy, cross the USA

Convoy... Convoy...

Uh, you wanna give me a 10-9 on that Pig-Pen?

Uh, negatory Pig-Pen, yer still too close

Yeah, them hogs is startin' close up my sinuses

Mercy sakes, you better back off another ten

Well we rolled up interstate fourty-four

Like a rocket sled on rails

We tore up all a our swindle sheets

An' left 'em settin' on the scales

By the time we hit that Chi-Town

Them bears was a gittin' smart

They'd brought up some reinforcements

From the Illinois National Guard

There 'as armored cars, and tanks, and Jeeps

An' rigs of every size

Yeah them chicken coops 'as full a bears

An' choppers filled the skies

Well we shot the line, an' we went for broke

With a thousand screamin' trucks

And eleven long-haired friends of Jesus

In a chartreusse microbus

Hey Sod Buster, listen

You wanna put that microbus in behind the suicide jockey?

Yeah, he's haulin dynamite

He needs all the help he can git

Well we laid a strip fer the Jersey Shore

An' prepared to cross the line

I could see the bridge 'as lined with bears

But I didn't have a doggone dime

I sez Pig-Pen, this here's the Rubber Duck

We just ain't a gonna pay no toll

So we crashed the gate doin' ninety-eight

I sez, let them truckers roll, 10-4

Cause we gotta mighty convoy, rockin' through the night

Yeah we gotta mighty convoy, ain't she a beautiful sight?

Come on an' join our convoy, ain't nothin' gonna git in our way

We're gonna roll this truckin' convoy, cross the USA

Convoy... Convoy...

Uh, 10-4 Pig-Pen, what's yer 20?

Omaha?!

Well they oughta know what to do with them hogs out there fer sure

Well mercy sakes alive good buddy

We gonna back on outta here

So keep the bugs off yer glass

An' the bears off yer... tail

We gonna catch ya on the flip-flop

This here's the Rubber Duck on the side

We gone

Bye, Bye...

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
