We've mentioned a couple of historically famous non-NASCAR drivers recently, so I thought I'd share a quote from another that I heard last night. Juan Manuel Fangio dominated the early years of F1, winning the World Drivers' Championship five times in the first decade. Here's his quote: "Driving fast on the track does not scare me. What scares me is when I drive on the highway I get passed by some idiot who thinks he is Fangio."

Hazzard County is perfect. It's the rest of the world that is messed up.

I was flicking through the TV channels tonight when I saw "The Dukes of Hazzard" in the listings. I've been here before, and then been disappointed to find that it's the 2005 movie, but this time it was the real thing. Dukes is being shown on a UK channel called Forces TV (part of the British Forces Broadcasting Service - Sky 181, Virgin 274, Freeview 96 and Freesat 165). They're showing double episodes at various times on Saturdays and Sundays - tonight I caught the end of 'Mary Kaye's Baby' and then 'Repo Men'. You can catch all of the first six episodes across the weekend. Here's tomorrow's

The tunnel on Soledad Canyon Road appeared in 'Duel' and 'Witness for the Persecution'.

I remember when people used to give the benefit of the doubt, forgive someone's mistakes, and gave second chances. I sometimes give 5 or 6 chances, against my better judgement. I am not a fan of cancel culture. I call it The Church of the Perpetually Outraged. That's a difficult way to go through life. I just don't have the energy for it.

There seems to be a trend here to post stuff that is a little bit edgy. That's no surprise since the world seems to have gone crazy. Since I have been part of the problem I really am not worthy of acting like Uncle Jesse and getting everybody back it line with a gruff authoritarian voice so I won't...... but I will say this: While I may be tempted in the future to post stuff that displays my anger about insane current events I will not anymore. This website is one of my favorite things in the world and I don't want to ruin it by being part of the problem. From this point forward I pledge to re

I'm allergic to cats so according to politically correct rules that makes you an intolerant hateful person. Your insensitive shirt also doesn't consider the feelings of dog owners so I'm proposing that it be banned. Anybody who doesn't agree with me is evil. Anybody who think that I'm wrong for labeling those people as evil is evil.

The daylight scheduled Dixie Vodka 400 at Homestead turned into a night race after several weather delays. Denny Hamlin dominated the race winning both stages and of course the race. Tyler Reddick though is the one that stole the show in my opinion. He fought for the lead several times once he made his way from 24th and ended up finishing 4th. Chase Elliot finished 2nd, Ryan Blaney 3rd and Aric Almirola rounded out the top 5. Tyler's RCR teammate Austin Dillon finished 7th. Jimmie Johnson did not have a good race, started 9th and quickly dropped to the 20's and ended up finishing 16th. Da

Thank you Hobie, Roger, Hoss for the warm welcome back. I've missed chatting with you all! Thank you for the smiles too. I can't wait to watch those races Hobie. They sound dangerous and entertaining! LOL Hoss at what Fangio said. I bet it's hard for them to drive and not speed on the normal roads. I remember Jeff Gordon saying he got pulled over for speeding while he was on the phone with Dale Earnhardt Jr. He said he could tell the cop wasn't impressed that he was Jeff Gordon so he asked him if he wanted to talk to Jr. And Jr got him out of a ticket. It cracked me up...don

Thanks for posting that, MM. For anyone who's interested, I think John's standing about here. The curve on the road as seen in the video is now wider than the one in the 2011 Google image that I linked to (and therefore the one seen in the show). John has started answering fans' questions about Dukes on his YouTube channel, although for some reason he seems to like filming them mainly in portrait mode and just after he's done a workout. So far he's talked about how long each episode took to film, what he thought of the reunion movies (and the 2005/2007 movies), and who drank real beer at

I'm just really down that they are casting a big shadow over the Dukes by making them look racist or anyone who likes the show. I'm not racist and hate the thought of someone thinking I am just because of a show. But I do see where people are coming from by associating the flag with it...even if that's not what it was intended to mean. If all that makes sense...

I'm sure they've been framed - Uncle Jesse wouldn't be happy if he found they'd been looting .

I'm sorry to say, the law finally caught up to them Duke boys. Saw this while monitoring regional police activity because we had some looting and a small riot about a mile from our house. VEH PURSUIT 06/01/20 22:14 (SEATTLE - SPD EAST) UPDATE: UNITS WERE PURSUING A DODGE CHARGER, 2 SUBJECTS IN CUSTODY, 1 NON-PD VEHICLE STRUCK, NO INJURIES [WAS133]

Good to see you here Ian....! and hello again to Joseph! 10-4 good buddy!

You're welcome. Thx for the welcome. Yes, it's the same sign though in a different position. When I get time I'll have a delve through your forums as I've seen other locations used for DoH and Salem's Lot. Not a surprise as all Warner Bros.

The image quality of the YouTube video isn't great, but I think the truck driven by Norman in 'Murder in Peyton Place' was the higher spec Ranger XLT. Even the very clean Uncle Jesse truck which appeared in the backlot scenes of 'Luke's Love Story' (below) never looked as good. The picture above is from the first page of this thread. The truck is noticeably cleaner and less dented than the one used for filming at the Golden Oak Ranch. BTW. The California trucks weren't identical to the Georgia one. Just like Daisy's car, they changed the model when they moved production. In the

If there are any fingerprints, get Rosco to dust for them and he'll find out who's been messing with your stuff!!

ROFL....If it helps, have her sign up for the HazzardNet. That way every time you're watching an episode she can log in and yell at me. That way we're all happy. You're happy because you're watching Dukes. I'm happy because I helped you watch Dukes. She's happy because she gets to blow off steam to the guy that started all the trouble.

Oh he is defiantly getting raised on the Dukes. He loves them. We started a cardboard Cooter's Garage and Boars Nest today .... then I went to AC Moore since everything is 60-80% off as they are going out of business and picked up a bunch of foam board etc... His favorite character is Enos.

I had to laugh at my notifications the other morning - one of them said "deli rentacop frontage rd is now following you". It's not the first another member has followed me, but it's the first time I've felt like I was under police surveillance! I'll have try a little shuck and jive to lose my tail, and if that doesn't work, maybe I'll jump the creek .

Stupid cell phones have made life so boring. Kids nowadays have no idea how much fun CBs were. That's why I always get the walkie talkies out when my grandkids are around. It helps them understand a little.

Couldn't have said it better myself!

Well said cousin. Being here has been an amazing experience and always feels like family. When you get together for family reunions the only thing that everybody has in common is that they are related by blood or marriage. Here we have something better than DNA in common. We have the love of jumping an old clunker car over a creek with a corrupt but lovable sheriff behind us shouting "Hot pursuit!. I love it. I love it. Khee Khee!". I can think of nothing better or more meaningful than that to bring a bunch of people from all over the world together. Khee Khee. Thanks for making that happen MM

Seems a lot of Hazzardites have been hit with health problems this year. Here's hoping everyone has a happy, healthy holiday season and much healthier 2020.

It's that time again.... A bunch of updates have stacked up, so I will likely be bringing the forums down to update this Saturday morning, 10/17.

Thanks for posting the link, Spike. I didn't have time to watch it until now. It looks like you can film General Lee stunts without wrecking '69 Dodge Chargers! To make things easier, here's the video embedded:

But can y'all remember what the sign on the trunk said? You can find the answer in my fan art version.

Hiya Skipper, glad you could join us! And you have great taste in shows too

I'm not sure I can get to that part without actually creating a new account. As for bypassing that step, I certainly don't have the ability to do that - I can only moderate new posts. Maybe this is a job for MM after all.

https://www.foxnews.com/auto/nascars-jimmie-johnson-negative-covid-19-tests Happy news! Jimmie Johnson has been cleared to race this weekend at Kentucky after two negative Covid tests this week.

I may or may not be able to! I'll be spending a lot of time getting my place ready for the Moonshine 400! ( I hope to see you there! LOL!)

And after that is the infamous Buttermilk 4.00. I wonder if anybody will make it around the barn all 4 laps this year.

Sonny Shields was a pro boxer. If you watch the DukesVision commentary, John says, "That guy could've tied one arm behind his back and beat the c**p out of all of us." Tom recalls that Sonny spent a couple of days teaching him to box, and that he had a headache for two weeks after filming the fight.

am a fan of the show since the beginning and was able to create a few of the cars in a pc game called farming simulator 2019 here is a short video of my sheriff car general lee and uncle jesse's truck

I think it's been used in lots of things. I think Hoss did something about that awhile ago. How ya been MonacoMan? ( I almost typed MM but that's Meadowmufn's initials) I could have been cuffed and stuffed for a mistake like that.

Well, Roth, you ought to take a few days off and come out to the Moonshine 500....I'll be racing in that and it WON'T be virtual! I'm talking the real deal!

Loretta is my all-time favorite female country singer so this is one of my favorite episodes. I just love Southern accents! You need to pay me a visit! LOL! Me and a whole bunch of us have " Sound"! Daisy's yellow Road Runner is back. Bo scuffs it driving through a hay pile and hitting something on the other side. I like the line right after that, when Luke says, " When Daisy sees this car, she's gonna pull out all your teeth" and Bo says..., " And gums!"....lol...I always liked that one!

Would have been awesome if he would have made it to 100. Monday night MeTV aired an Andy Griffith episode with him playing Briscoe Darling jr.

Life goes fast. I probably posted here once upon a time. I have FINALLY completed a years long process. The General Lee is built from an original MPC kit from 1969 I picked up from e-bay. The previous owner had painted it a gold/copper color back in the day with automotive paint(cannot be stripped/etches itself into the plastic). I came across the Lee 1 story and it was perfect. It took parts from numerous kits and hours of replaying scenes from One Armed Bandit. Stories on the background cars to follow.

I seen a shirt at Walmart that morning that said something like "I used to be a people person till I met you" or something like that . I thought about going back to Walmart and buying that shirt and wearing it when I mow her lawn next time hahaha. Apparently she felt guilty as she called yesterday and apologized.

We're ok here still so far. In our morning meeting for work (almost everybody except those with essential business in the office are working from home), someone mentioned that we're starting to flatten the curve here in Washington. Hopefully, the rest of the country will be following right behind us soon. So far, I don't personally know anyone who has gotten COVID-19 (at least not a confirmed case, just suspected cases that they recovered from) and I hope it stays that way! Y'all stay safe and healthy.

Thank you! Not sure how long exactly, but several long months for sure. Wish I'd been starting with one good-conditioned kit instead of a junker with some spare parts added, I wouldn't have had half as many setbacks.

Here's one that I only noticed from watching the HD version of the show. In the flashback scenes from 'Happy Birthday, General Lee', the black Charger already had the CNH 320 license plate when Bo and Luke bought the car from the Capitol City junkyard. In 'Big Daddy', Rosco mentions to Boss Hogg that it takes 30 days to get a new plate from the DMV. That means that the original version of the CNH 320 plate that you see here must have been a Capitol City plate. In the screencap, it seems to have two words in the city/county area that are slightly too narrow to be 'Hazzard County'. The prop mast

It's also unrealistic that nobody ever has to fill up on gas although they do a lot of driving!

And by "the right side", you mean the correct side.

Hey, I just pressed my first blue and white heart thing. I gotta do that more often.

It was a 1974 Plymouth Satellite, very similar to Daisy's original 1973 Road Runner from the Georgia episodes.

Here's a screengrab from 'One Armed Bandits'. I'd have probably said black, but it would be "very dark grey" out of your choices. I see that Roger's friends at Northeast Ohio Dukes are selling replica bases and complete antennae for $100 and $300 respectively. You can find them here.

I'll second that!, when I first discovered the Dukes of Hazzard it had been off the air for a good thirty-five years or so, I lived (and still do live) in a small, almost forgotten town in the middle of the UK, and I thought I was the only Dukes fan left in the world, fast forward seven years and I discover that I'm not the only fan left! Thanks MM for allowing me to be in a family I never knew existed

I always think that every time I watch it especially around Halloween. I wish they would have done something better like a haunted house that didn't get solved until the end of the episode like on Scooby Doo. Then at the end Boss could have said "I'd have gotten away with it if it weren't for those pesky Dukes."
