  5. Ireland's American car show missed a couple of years due to a certain virus, and wasn't at full strength last year, so yesterday was my first time attending for several years. There was a good turnout, and probably the most Mustangs I've ever seen together, from very early models up to one about a year old. Sadly, there was no General Lee, although I'm sure I saw the owner of the car that I sat in all those years ago. The Road Runner seen above was back again, and this year the Starsky and Hutch collection had grown to three cars, with the owner of one surprising people with its siren. Considering that I've been to a few of these events, and that Ireland is a relatively small place, I was pleased to see a lot of vehicles that I haven't seen before, including an A-Team van. Even a brief shower of rain couldn't spoil the enjoyment of my corn dog!
  6. At 68, isn't he allowed to retire? I'm not saying he has retired, but plenty of other people do by that age. His last listed acting credit was 'Salvage Yard Shine Boys' in 2021. It was directed by Christopher Hensel AKA. Jeb Stuart Duke.
  7. At least the money's going to a good cause. BTW. The McLaren F1 supercar had a price tag of around $1m when it was on sale in the '90s - they now fetch over $20m, so the Corvette may not be a bad long-term investment.
  8. "Order INK. Lots of INK." Manny the counterfeiter in 'Repo Men'.
  9. I've never noticed the phrase before, but I've found a few references online. From urbandictionary.com: A midwestern colloquialism meaning that you could even drive a person who had no manner of sensory perception up the wall because you are beyond all natural levels of irritating. From lifeblogcarpediem.wordpress.com: Across the years, I’ve occasionally used an expression that is a fair assessment for someone who has the propensity to go on and on when you were actually done with the conversation fifteen minutes earlier. I describe it as: “She could drive a wooden man crazy.” From city-data.com: My Granny said, "I swan" which resembled "I declare!" She also said about something annoying, "That would drive a wooden man crazy." I use that one myself.
  10. I don't think that information is on HazzardNet, but we had a member looking for a Vance doll in a 2012 thread, and that contains a link to an article at megomuseum.com which gives very detailed descriptions of the various Dukes dolls. It includes how they just made new heads for Coy and Vance and stuck with the original Bo and Luke packaging.
  11. Supervisory ADMINISTRATOR of Hazzard County The post won by T.C. Rogers in 'People's Choice'.
  12. SHOULDERS Augie Detweiller's right-hand-man in 'Hazzard Connection'.
  13. The only mention I know is in 'The Law and Jesse Duke'. Rosco and Cletus drive through Hogg's Auto Paint Shop and get paint all over their patrol car. When Daisy sees it she says, "Rosco, where've you been with that car? Looks like you've been to an Easter egg coloring party."

    As you say, the information is scarce, but I found an article at foxnews.com. Here's a reminder of Cale's first appearance in Dukes:

    I found an article at foxsports.com which says: NASCAR docked Hendrick's Alex Bowman and William Byron 60 points and five playoff points and suspended their interim crew chiefs for two races and fined them $75,000 after it found a modification to the greenhouse (center section of the car) during a teardown of their Richmond cars this week at NASCAR's research and development center.
  16. I'm going by the closed captions.
  17. It was Lydecker's Egg Farm in 'Arrest Jesse Duke'.
  18. GABRIELA He was a former crooked partner of Boss Hogg's who set everything up in 'The Dukes of Hazzard: Hazzard in Hollywood' TV movie. BTW. Gabriela was Bo's love interest in that movie.

    I'll try to give a review of the Australian Grand Prix, but I missed the end, and that's when the controversy took place. Max Verstappen got pole yesterday, but after his team mate Sergio Perez crashed in the first qualifying session, he had to start from the back. That left Mercedes with a slightly surprising 2nd and 3rd, with George Russell out-qualifying Lewis Hamilton again. Both Mercedes got past Verstappen at the start, and Ferrari's Charles Leclerc went off on the first lap. It wasn't long before the first safety car of the day caused by Alex Albon's crash. A couple of the lead drivers including Russell pitted for tires, but then the race was red-flagged for the first time. That gave all the other drivers a chance to change their tires without a pit stop, and handed Hamilton the lead. Verstappen got past Hamilton to take the lead back. After making up a couple of places at the restart, Russell's engine caught fire and he had to retire. With six laps remaining, Kevin Magnussen hit the wall causing the second red flag. The restart was not dissimilar to a NASCAR restart. Ferrari's Carlos Sainz hit Aston Martin's Fernando Alonso, sending the latter to the back of the field. Behind them, a couple of cars went off and the two Alpine drivers collided with each other. That brought out the final red flag. After a half-hour delay, the stewards decided to do the restart in the order the cars were in the lap before the red flag. The final restart came with one lap to go, and the race effectively finished behind the safety car. Sainz was given a 5-second penalty for his collision with Alonso which dropped him from 4th to 12th and out of the points. Verstappen took the win, followed by Hamilton and Alonso. behind them, both McLaren's finished in the top 10 to score their first points of the season. With the Chinese Grand Prix cancelled, it's now four weeks to the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. Let's hope that it's decided on the track rather than in the stewards' office!
