    Do you like Max?

    He's a very talented young driver who's already sewn up his third World championship this year, but he's won 17 out of the first 20 races so far this year (and his team mate won two of the other three), so the season's been rather dull. Personally, I think that Lewis Hamilton should've won his eighth World championship when Max won his first because the officials didn't follow the restart rules in the last race of the season that year. There's been some good battles down the field this year, but the season belongs to Red Bull.

  2. ANTIQUE

    The General Lee is a VINTAGE car.

    Technically, a vintage car is one built between 1919 and 1930, so the General is an antique car (45+ years old). This site even lists a 1968 Dodge Charger as an example of an antique car,

    "And since when is it against the law to fix up your own car when somebody else buys it up, huh?"

    Small correction, but it's a well-known quote:

    "And since when is it against the law to fix up your own car when somebody else busts it up, huh?"

  4. Artie's Auto YARD

    WIDOW Parlo mentioned by Waylon in Strange Visitor to Hazzard "In Hazzard lots of strange things have happened. From Cy Ertso's two headed calf, to Widow Parlo's second marriage. And lately, folks are seein' weird things in the sky. Even then that ain't drinkin' moonshine."

    It was widow Barlow in 'Strange Visitor to Hazzard': "In Hazzard, lots of weird things have happened. From Sy Erzo 's two-headed calf, to widow Barlow's second marriage."

    I bring you some sad news about a few Christine filming locations. The bridge from the over pass, under which she chased and killed Moochie Welch in the "You ain't mad are ya?" scene is no longer there. Torn down. The property has had a development done in recent years since the movie.

    A location and/or source would be helpful with these "facts". If you're talking about the overpass at Huntington Drive N. and Moonstone Drive in Los Angeles, it was demolished 2015 and 2016. You can still see the overpass in the historic Streetview images:

    Skipper, I'm not sure where to start with that one, but I can't believe that one of your "favorite
    Dukes of Hazzard quotes" is three consecutive scenes. If you look at the other quote threads, you'll see that they're mainly either one-liners (often from Waylon) or short, funny interactions. What you wrote above is about three and a half minutes of screen-time without a single line break to make it easier to read. Maybe you should start a separate "Favorite Scenes" thread, but don't put the dialogue in quotation marks if it isn't screen accurate (I don't have time to correct the post above).

    You did, however, give me a laugh with "
    pee shooter". It conjures up a rather different image to the "peashooter" that Jesse was actually talking about.

    Skipper, I don't know how many more times I need to say this - if you're posting quotes, make sure they're accurate or make it clear that you're paraphrasing. I don't know if you're mishearing/misremembering these quotes or copying them from an unreliable source like you were with the Smokey and the Bandit quotes. Check the dialogue and then check it again! I don't have time to be constantly correcting you, especially when your favorite quotes are whole scenes like this one, but I hate finding inaccurate quotes on other sites and I don't want them here. In the post above you've missed out lines, got lines in the wrong order and misquoted others. You even left off Boss' funny jibe to Rosco at the end.

    Here's how the scene actually played out:

    Boss, Rosco and Cletus arrive outside the Duke Farm.
    Boss: "All right, let's go. Don't take all night, will you? Come on, come on, Cletus. Cletus. Listen to me."
    Cletus: "What?"
    Boss: "No, you ain't going in. You're staying here and guarding this door with your life. You hear me? Don't let nobody in or out."
    Cletus: [Pointing his gun at Rosco] "Hold it!"
    Boss: "Not him."
    Inside the farm.
    Bo: [To Luke] "Hey, you best get that rabbit."
    Luke: "Yeah."
    Boss and Rosco enter.
    Boss: "All right, Dukes, where are you? There you are."
    Jesse: "J.D., what do you come busting in here about?"
    Boss: "Jesse Duke, I got me here a search warrant."
    Luke: [To Bo] "Take the rabbit."
    Boss: "To find out if you got any illegal moonshine on your premises. Or on your person."
    Jesse: "On my person?"
    Luke: [To Bo, who still has the rabbit] "Get rid of it.
    Jesse: "J.D., you know I ain't made no moonshine in years, I promise."
    Boss: "Oh, yeah. Maybe you have and maybe you ain't."
    Rosco: "Yeah, maybe you ain't."
    Boss: "Rosco, start frisking."
    Rosco: "Right."
    Jesse: "Rosco!"
    Rosco: "What?"
    Jesse: "You touch me and I'll turn you over my knee."
    Rosco: [Looking over Jesse] "Well, I think he's clean."
    Boss: "All right. All right. Well then, start frisking in there."
    Rosco: "All right, you Dukes. All right."
    Luke: "You're lucky we got respect for elders."
    Rosco: "Just hush. All right, let's see if you..."
    Bo: "I don't wanna dance."
    Rosco: "... Daisy."
    Daisy: "Rosco."
    Rosco: "Uh, listen, I don't think the diamonds are on Daisy."
    Jesse: "Diamonds?"
    Daisy: "Diamonds?"
    Rosco: "Ooh!"
    Boss: "Rosco, I ought to take that tongue of yours out and have it bronzed."
     

  8. I had a quick look at both episodes, and I think that each one used at least two different vans. They're both/all similar Ford Econoline vans, and the ones in '10 Million Dollar Sheriff' obviously have bars on the back windows. One van in each episode has chrome trim over the wheel arches and along the sides while the other doesn't. A close-up of the rear quarter of Jason Steele's van shows a round black or gray gas cap, while a close-up of Russ Mitchell's van shows a body-colored flap covering the gas cap. My guess is that the same two vans were used in each episode.

    It was in 'Play it Again, Luke'.

    Boss: "Do you read?"
    Enos: "Oh, yes, sir, Mr. Hogg. I read every chance I get. I like boy-dog stories best. The one about Patches at play was my favorite in grammar school."
    Boss: "I can't believe this."
    Enos: "It's about this dog named Patches. He's got one brown eye and one blue eye, and his master named Christopher, ...and they was out playing with the squirrels and the cows on the farm..."

    Anyway, I request that this thread be deleted. I think it would be better for me (like with the sympathy cards) if I moved on from the thread. Hoss or MM, if you want to wait a day or 2 for final thoughts before deleting that would be fine but this will be my last post on the thread. It has done it's job by bringing me comfort. Thank you again everybody for all the love and support!  ❤ 

    I've never tried to delete a whole thread, Roger. It may be within my powers, but I'd rather that Meadowmufn did it.

    (Season 4 Diamonds in the Rough. Later in the episode, when Boss finds out about the diamonds.)

    Boss Hogg:"Diamonds, diamonds, diamonds, Rosco, Maybelle just told me them Dukes found diamonds in the North Meadow!" Rosco:"You know that infuriates me, I've been all over that Meadow with my metal detector, an' the only thing I found was .60 cents an' a metal muffin." Boss Hogg:"Rosco, yer brain's a metal muffin! Them diamonds they found were stolen an' hijacked!"

    Skipper, you missed out several lines of dialogue about Mabel telling Boss everything because he owns her farm near the start of this scene which should come in the middle of your opening line from Boss Hogg, but your biggest faux pas is that Rosco found "60 cents and a meadow muffin."
