Ce jour où en traduisant un article pour Registrar Trek, tu te rends compte que ce que les transporteurs appellent des « Kojak » (terme que tu utilises du coup tout le temps depuis que tu as dû en utiliser pour déplacer des carrosses) s’appellent en réalité des « Go-Jacks »…
(Mise à jour du vocabulaire dans ma petite tête : faite !)

I work for a history museum that shares an atrium with a car museum. We had an old car that we had to move from one end of our museum to another, taking off doors in the process so that it would fit. Someone had to sit inside and steer, we had to lift and pivot at points…all in all, it took half a dozen of us over two hours to move the car. At the end of our task, one of the curators from the car museum came over and simply asked, « Why didn’t you just borrow our go-jacks? » *sigh*
LOL – well, well, next time you’ll know to ask the neigbours, first. 🙂
I have to say, that for the carriages we didn’t had the idea at first…
We move the two biggest ones (5 tons & 2,5 tons) with 6 persons… At the end of the day, the leader of the handlers says : »OK, tomorrow for the other ones, we come with « Kojaks »… » – « Ko-WHAT ????? »….Now I know…..
