I've never seen his shows (I'm not sure if they were shown over here), but I'm familiar with him through memes! It's so odd for me listening to Thomas being narrated by an American. The fictional setting of the Island of Sodor is so British (it's meant to be located in the Irish Sea between the English mainland and the Isle of Man). BTW. Last weekend marked the 80th anniversary of The Railway Stories (AKA. Thomas and Friends) - there's an article about it here. At least the music's good to dance to.

I've just spent the evening at a bar (very unusual for me) listening to a couple of local guys playing live music on acoustic guitars. It was a good mix of traditional Irish songs and old favorites. What surprised me was the number of Americans at the bar. The first people I spoke to were from just across the Indiana border from Chicago, but there were three groups from California (Sacramento, San Francisco and Los Angeles), one from Seattle and another from Florida. I know where I live is a popular tourist destination, but I rarely get to speak to the visitors.

They're currently running the 2024 Camaro body and probably will next season as well.

cletus is a bit KOOKY

I heard that a player had been robbed, but not who it was until after I saw your post. Sadly, there seems to be a trend of attacks in Dublin at the moment. An English tourist was stabbed (but survived) in the same area last week. I don't know if they've caught anyone or announced the nationality of the attackers. By all accounts the NFL game was a success, so it's such a shame that it was marred by an incident like this.

Vikings are reported to have reached Newfoundland via Iceland and Greenland in 1021AD.

So, are you going to turn your kit into a Charger Daytona? I don't know much about 3D printing, but www.printables.com has downloadable files for a General Lee including the push bar.

They used some '68 Chargers in the show, so it's still authentic. The main differences between the '68 and '69 Chargers are the front grille, the rear lights and the side markers. You can sand off the side markers (as they did with the real ones). You can probably fabricate the front grille divider (they had center pieces to clip to '68 grilles on some cars in the show). The tail lights will be trickier to change.

You can see various documented model builds in the Hobbies forum. You might pick up some tips there.

Well fellow Hazzardites, my gut is still bothering me from my operation but the doc says it's looking good but I don't think so. I've been housebound almost a whole month! I get on here every now and then when I can. I'm just having to wait until I can get back to my usual! ( My usual everything!! )

Well y’all in the past 24 hours, life hasn’t been too eventful but I did go to visit a friend who was staying in town, hung out with her and her doggo. Cute as button, but so strong. That pup pulled me and I’m a full grown man. What happened was she was just going to get something at the nearby convenience store… the dog went nuts and started pulling me along even though I dug my heels in. Guess you just can’t get between a dog and their momma. Lol.

Went to the local GM plant's car show today. Over 300 cars, possibly 400 showed up. One that stuck out for me was a restored Hudson pickup truck. Never seen one before. Since it was invitation only it was pretty much hot rods and muscle cars. They might go back to open registration again next year. Few years ago they had some trouble with a few people and police showed up so that's when they made it invitation only, you have to work there or worked there or know someone that works there that will write you in.

Well, my Dr's appointment went well and now I can eat cream of wheat and drink clear OR colored stuff now, like tea etc....until this time next week / my next appt.). He was impressed by your car dealer's recovery!

I assume they're talking about 'Redneck Boy in the Promised Land: The Confessions of "Crazy Cooter"'. It came out in 2008.

I'm guessing Sonny Shroyer is a lot like Enos....only much smarter. (Of course Enos was pretty smart when he a cop in Los Angeles.) But I'm sure Sonny is a true Southern gentleman.

A couple of pieces of F1 news. Firstly, Cadillac F1 recently announced F1 veterans Valtteri Bottas and Sergio Perez will be their drivers next season. Now they've added IndyCar race winner Colton Herta as their test driver. Secondly, Irish driver Alex Dunne gets his second chance to drive an F1 McLaren in the first practice session this weekend at Monza.

EXCELLENT!! Irish women are the best!! * Well hopefully I'll be back home at this time tomorrow, if the doctor decides to let me go. If not.....it will be sometime Wednesday! .....hopefully! So if you don't see me on here for a while you'll know where I'm at! Healing up/sleeping it off/drugged up etc.!

I saw the phrase "Tír na nÓg" (it means "Land of Youth") painted on several buildings, and the bar was advertising "Ceol Anocht" ("Music Tonight"), but I don't think it was the Celtic Women. It was probably traditional Irish music, but we had food waiting at the house, so we didn't stay to find out. Just to keep you happy, Roger:

when Daisy and that other girl were wrestling for the money, they fell in mud and got NASTY!

I watched that Vikings series on the History Channel. It was 6 seasons but I didn't start watching until it was over.

Just Google "Meteorites for sale" and you will see tons of them. The problem is that lots of them aren't real. It's best to buy from reputable dealers but it can be hard to know which ones are reputable. That has always kept me from buying one.

Vikings in Ireland? That hasn't happened in 500 years has it? That doesn't sound very safe. I would suggest evacuating.

Okay, so I went to the NASCAR Hall of Fame today, and it made me seriously want to make my own race car....but also the general....but custom.....i cant decide anymore!

Roger, I didn't want to start a new thread for this, but I see your Steelers are playing the Vikings in Ireland this weekend. Although we've hosted college games before, this is the first full NFL game to be played here. Apparently, I missed the Terrible Towel Tour when it came to town earlier this week. They covered eight counties in four days. Max Starks was talking about it earlier on the radio. I don't know if the link will work outside of Ireland, but hopefully you can hear him here.

I bought a meteorite yesterday. I always wanted one but never wanted to take the chance of getting one that wasn't real. One of the world's leading meteorite experts lives 20 miles from me and I bought it from him. Pretty cool collector's item.

Hopefully everything works out and it actually becomes The General and I don't have to use plan B and make my own car

Good question. I always worry when someone is gone awhile.

Hey where's Garrett been lately??

Christian Horner has formally left Red Bull, and his severance package is reported to be €60 million (over $70 million). That makes up for the €12 million/year he'd have earned until his original contract ran out in 2030.

No but I did watch his show as well. This guy worked only with antique tools. It was The Woodwrights Shop with Roy Underhill. After googling it he was from North Carolina.

BEULAH mae....emma's sister

For once, I'm glad that I wasn't watching the F1 qualifying live. They had a record six red flags and the session that usually lasts about an hour took two hours today. Lewis Hamilton, who thought he might be challenging for pole, failed to make the top 10 and will start in 12th. His team mate, Charles Leclerc, hit the wall in the final session and will start 10th. Not good when practice looked so promising for Ferrari. Championship leader Oscar Piastri also hit the wall and will start ninth. That gave Lando Norris a great chance to start well ahead of his rival, but could only manage seventh as the track got a bit damp. In the end, Max Verstappen took pole, but it was a great session for Carlos Sainz and Liam Lawson who start second and third ahead of the two Mercedes drivers. You can watch the highlights here.

Bewitched, Lost In Space,

It seems that just about every female on the show was PRETTY!

The Dukes had to got to town to get OATS for Maudine

I hope they weren't driving anything considering how many Guinnesses they were drinking!

there was never INCLEMENT weather in hazzard

My internet has been out for a couple days because they are putting high speed lines in. Thanks for posting this Webb. Belated happy birthday Luke.

Let me know what you think after you read it!

WARREN Berlinger played Benswanger in 'Arrest Jesse Duke'

Max Verstappen took pole for the Italian Grand Prix with Lando Norris just ahead of team mate Oscar Piastri. The Ferraris of Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton were next in front of their home crowd, the famous Tifosi, but Lewis had a 5-place grid penalty from the previous race weekend, so started 10th. Max's pole lap was the fastest in F1 history with an average speed of 164.466mph. Sadly for Nico Hulkenberg he was told to retire his Sauber on the way to the grid. At the start, Lando pulled alongside Max at the first corner, and although Max left the corner first, he was told by his team to give Lando the place to avoid a penalty as he'd left the track to keep the position. Charles also passed Oscar, but Oscar soon regained the place. Max also retook the lead on lap 4. Late in the race when McLaren made their pit stops they had a problem with Lando's wheel which dropped him behind Oscar. Much to Max's amusement, Oscar was told to let Lando past. Max went on to take his third win of the year with Lando and Oscar behind. The win also set a record for the fastest F1 race in history at just 1 hour 13 minutes and 24.325 seconds. George Russell was fifth, sandwiched between the Ferraris of Charles and Lewis. Finishing second with his team mate in third, Lando narrowed the gap in the drivers' to 31 points. You can see the race highlights here. The next race is the Azerbaijan Grand Prix in Baku in two weeks.

I still enjoy the show and all the characters. Cooter Davenport is a great guy! It's his kind that made the south great! I ignore Ben Jones existence, however! If you can read his book and not have a problem with him, I strongly question your American/southern values!

(Season 4 Coltrane Vs. Duke) Luke Duke:"Now look what they gone an' done!" Bo Duke:"Well, you gotta admit, they're tryin' real hard aren't they?" Luke Duke:"Yeah. Hold on!" Deputy Cletus Hogg:"Haha we outfoxed the Dukes! Hehe!" Deputy Emery Potter:"Maybe they went back fer help." Deputy Cletus Hogg:"Back fer help?! They ain't goin' back fer help! Where are they goin'?" Deputy Emery Potter:"They're gonna jump it." Deputy Cletus Hogg:"They can't jump that! Houdini couldn't jump that!" Luke Duke:"Haha hang on this time!" Bo Duke:"Ya-hoo!" Deputy Emery Potter:(Smugly.)"They jumped it." 😂

I saw it the night it originally aired so my memory might deceive me. It's been awhile. But your question rang a bell and I think I was suspicious of him. The writers did a good job of throwing those curveballs when guessing if someone was good or bad. Most of the time it was predictable but there were enough surprises from past episodes you always wondered on the new ep you were watching.

The first time you ever saw the Season 6 episode Brotherly Love, did you expect Luke's brother Jud Kane to be a fake with a hidden menacing agenda like the English cousin Gaylord Duke in the Season 2 episode Duke of Duke was?

In 'Happy Birthday, General Lee', Rosco writes the boys a ticket for IMPEDING traffic.

WOW! I bet it'd take Cooter all weekend to fix that thing!!

F1 was back from its summer break yesterday with the Dutch Grand Prix. Unlike other F1 tracks, Zandvoort has banked curves. Lando Norris was quickest in practice, but his team mate Oscar Piastri claimed pole by 12 thousandths of a second. Local favorite Max Verstappen started third. Oscar kept his lead at the start, but Max got past Lando on the opening lap. Lando got his second place back on lap 9. Rain threatened to disrupt the race, but none of the teams felt the need to fit wet weather tires. However, Lewis Hamilton went slightly wide on one of the damp banked corners and hit the barrier ending his race. It was a bad day for Ferrari as Charles Leclerc also had to retire when Mercedes driver Kimi Antonelli clipped his car and spun it off. It looked like being another McLaren 1-2 finish until Lando's engine failed with just seven laps to go. That promoted Max to second behind Oscar and gave RB driver Isack Hadjar his first F1 podium finish. With three of the top cars out, Red Bull, Aston Martin and Haas all had both cars scoring points. With nine races to go, Oscar now has a commanding lead of 34 points over Lando. Most teams will be fitting new engines for next week's Italian Grand Prix at Monza. You can watch the highlights of the Dutch Grand Prix here.

I hope this isn't true. It's unimaginable to think of NASCAR without Chevy.
