[Hugo Kornelis]

There are more than two that sound credible. So I already know it will be one those that I reject.

My votes are for 1 and 6.

Cheers,
Hugo (who obviously could not sit out a round that has almost my name as the word)

Good evening here!

 

1.       A U-turn (although I really doubt it)

 

4.      [WWII sl.] A vehicle for towing artillery pieces (because it sounded better than anything else!)

[Daniel B. Widdis]

Missed submitting.  3-day weekend in the USA. :)

I'll go with 1 and 9.

[Tony Abell]

I'll try 1 and 4:

>> 1. A U-turn.

[Paul Keating]

I think that 9 may have many names in different places. (In England it is legal, and common, and called gazumping). But I'm not sure Hughie is one of them.

I vote for 4 & 6.

[Tim Lodge]
