Ben's wife Alma has announced that Ben passed away of a heart attack today. There was no greater advocate for the show than Ben. He kept the spirit alive all these years with fan events and Cooter's Place. This is devastating. Feel free to share any experiences meeting Ben, kind words, favorite Cooter moments on the show, etc.

Hey guys....is it true? I'm currently watching the Diamondbacks and the Dodgers play and having a few adult beverages and I'm on FaceBook and it showed a modern picture of Ben Jones ( looks a lot like Jimmy Best in the latter years) and it said , from his wife I THINK....he died! If somebody could confirm that and get me his age, cause of death etc. I'd be very grateful!

We used to have a Western Auto when I was little.

Which one of these was on the show, Hogg's Nest or Boars Nest?

Dukes Trivia: What is the connection between The Dukes of Hazzard and Green Acres?

You MIGHT be more Jewish than I am! LOL!

Happy DOHD everybody! I hope people will hangout periodically through the night and keep the party going. I'm not sure what episodes I'm going to watch tonight but probably it will be the 1st yr. I'll pull them in here ( my computer room ) watch them while on the computer, after I see the news and some other shows that come on at this time and then.............IT'S FULL ON HAZZARD COUNTY!!! ( along with my Natural Ice ......America's biggest selling Ice Beer!).....aaaand maybe a few snacks! Well my fellow Hazzardites....I was hoping to see a few more Hazzard citizens in here just before watching an episode. I thought it would be nice if sometime on DOHD, we could ALL be here at the same time and watch an episode or two!.....I'll check back a little later before I start watching .... I also wanted to say, that my wife wasn't feeling good, so I picked her up early and she's off the rest of the weekend, so I don't have to worry about getting up early tomorrow or Sunday! So the Dukes and the fun begins a lot earlier!! YEEE HAAA!

you could be right cousin....though this time I might see if any of the Ruff Red Necks want to race....you know, like the Bodries, other former villains on the show etc.

Dang it! I overpaid by 29c.

I waited to watch the 2005 movie until I could stream it free somewhere. I got out of it exactly what I paid for it.... nothin'.

You're right. I've just looked at the prices people are asking for rare 1:18 Dukes diecast models.

Just got back from a 3 day trip to the Canadian side of Niagara Falls. Looks like things are pretty slow around here. Looks like we need another Moonshine 400!

He can ask 5 grand for it but good luck selling it for anywhere near that. We've been selling antique furniture from our parents estate. It has been a real eye opener. Prices on the internet do not represent the real world.

It did help by giving a new generation exposure to the Dukes. There, I said something nice about it. I'm not a fan though. That's the only nice thing I will say. At least all 4 Dukes were together in the 2005 movie. The reunion movie was the worst. Bo, Luke and Daisy all left a frail dying Uncle Jesse all alone. They completely abandon the ailing family patriarch and moved out of state. How in the world did the writers think that would go over well? Clearly the writers weren't fans of the show.

It's been discussed a lot on this forum. I too was looking forward to its release, but didn't get to see it immediately. By the time I did, I'd read the reviews. I have it on DVD to complete my collection, but I only paid €0.25 (about $0.29) for it and it hasn't been out of the box for a long time.

It has been 21 years since the 2005 movie was released. Like many here, I followed the production avidly in 2004-2005. At the time I was a freshman in college. Today I'm 40 years old. LOL I've always had mixed feelings about the movie. While it might have some entertainment value as a movie by itself, it isn't the movie that the Dukes fanbase had hoped for.

I'm afraid I can't help much. I'm not even sure if they were sold over here. I did find a 2012 article on the Dukes of Hazzard Collector blog where someone restored one of these pedal cars. As far as I can see, he just fixed the steering, cleaned it up and got someone to recreate the decals. There's no mention of a sound module. Maybe you can find someone selling a trashed car with a working module. I did find one seller on eBay asking $5,000 for a car "in working condition and in good shape for being 43 yrs old.". As far as I can tell, that's with fading decals and without a box! BTW. Had anyone at Coleco ever seen a '69 Dodge Charger? I understand that making an open pedal car isn't going to produce an exact replica, but the front looks more like a '69 Pontiac GTO, there's a spoiler on the trunk and the wheels are completely wrong. At least their 1984 KITT looks like a Trans Am.

Ducati is now making dirt bikes. And (Hoss might be interested in this) Triumph is too.

No idea.....but welcome to the HazzardNet.

I still think Ferraris, over all, are faster than McLaren's !!

you got me on that one bud but maybe some of the Brainiacs in here ( like Hoss or Roger) will know. If not, I'd suggest Google it.

Anyone here have any ideas where to find the sound assembly and roll bar for my 1982 General lee pedal car? Thanks everyone!

I'm drinking Natural Ice and watching Swamp Molly....what are you guys watching? Right NOW...I'm watching Deputy Dukes! Anybody watching TDOH ??

Hoss, that is excellent!

HossC... Thanks! 😀 I checked it out back to back. I like Luke's version better.
