Now back to the 2025 Canadian Grand Prix. Most of the top 10 got off the grid in formation, but Kimi Antonelli was able to overtake championship leader Oscar Piastri on the first lap. A few laps later, Lando Norris picked up a few places. Positions were also swapped further down the field. Tires were wearing more quickly than expected, so Max Verstappen was the first of the leaders to make a pit stop. The commentary mentioned that Lewis Hamilton had picked up damage around lap 13 which cost him an estimated half a second a lap. It was only today that I read that he'd hit a groundhog. As a well-known animal lover, Lewis was said to be "devastated" about the death of the animal. Despite the pit stops, the leaders stayed in roughly the same order until around lap 62 (of 70) when Lando caught his team mate Oscar. After a few laps of the gap getting closer and closer (and both drivers catching Kimi in third), Lando went for an ill-judged overtake on the start/finish straight, lost his front wing and crashed into the wall. With only four laps to go to clear the debris, the race finished behind the safety car (because there's no refuelling, they can't extend the race like NASCAR does). George Russell added his name and the Mercedes team to the list of 2025 winners, and Max picked up some useful points in second. In third, Kimi became the third youngest driver to take an F1 podium. Oscar increased his lead to 22 points by finishing fourth, while both Ferraris scored points in fifth and sixth with Charles Leclerc ahead of Lewis. You can see the race highlights here. The next race is the Austrian Grand Prix in two weeks.

I'll write my F1 race report later when I have more time, but I just wanted to post a quick congratulations to ex-F1 driver Robert Kubica. He had what Rosco would call "a horrendous crash" at the 2007 Canadian Grand Prix (see video below), and nearly died when a barrier penetrated the cabin of his rally car in 2011. Yesterday, he won the Le Mans 24 Hours in a privately entered Ferrari 499P alongside co-drivers Yifei Ye and Phil Hanson. They were just over 14 seconds ahead of the second placed Porsche.

I think I just got good and covering up my lapses. It's definitely not the first.

It's the Canadian Grand Prix later today. So far, McLaren haven't dominated like they have at recent races, but Oscar Piastri is continuing to look faster than Lando Norris. Several drivers failed to make corners in qualifying and a couple of penalties were given out for impeding other drivers. Alex Albon had a weird equipment failure in the first qualifying session when the engine cover of his Williams blew off. The subsequent red flag allowed him to replace it in the pits, and he made the top 10. It should be a close race today as there are five different teams in the top six (Mercedes were the only team to get both cars in the top six). Here are the starting top 10: 1. George Russell Mercedes 2. Max Verstappen Red Bull 3. Oscar Piastri McLaren 4. Kimi Antonelli Mercedes 5. Lewis Hamilton Ferrari 6. Fernando Alonso Aston Martin 7. Lando Norris McLaren 8. Charles Leclerc Ferrari 9. Alexander Albon Williams 10. Franco Colapinto Alpine You can watch the qualifying highlights here. The race is on at 2pm (ET), so should be more accessible to US viewers. Will the "Wall of Champions" claim any victims this year?

I think my brain skipped that because I came to the thread that day to mention the Katy Perry song, and saw that you'd already named that in the same post. At least I gave you credit for the original mention.

Dierks Bentley - "What Was I Thinkin'". We ran outside, hood slidin' like Bo Duke What was I thinkin'? Roger previously mentioned it in another thread back in 2009.

Other than the full DVD collection (7 seasons, TV movies, cartoons and 2005/07 movies) I mainly just have six 1:18 diecast models. I've never been an autograph collector. I used to have one of the early PC games, but I'm not sure if it's still around. At my parental home there should also be two or three Ertl cases for the small diecast cars. I don't think we had such a wide range of collectibles available over in the UK.

It was the third race in the F1 triple-header today with the Spanish Grand Prix. The McLarens of Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris locked out the front row of the grid ahead of Max Verstappen, George Russell and Lewis Hamilton. Lance Stroll apparently had a pain in his wrist related to a cycling accident a couple of years ago, although there were also reports of him losing his temper in the pits after qualifying. Either way, he didn't start the race, so there were only 19 cars on grid (I'm not sure why his Aston Martin team couldn't use a reserve driver). Oscar had a good getaway at the start, but Max managed to jump Lando. Lewis also passed George. Lando got back ahead of Max on lap 13. The Barcelona circuit is known for tire wear, and Red Bull put Max on a 3-stop strategy when most teams were planning on a 2-stop. Max was looking certain for third place until Kimi Antonelli's Mercedes engine gave out with just over 10 laps to go bringing out the safety car. All of the front runners went to the pits to change tires, but Max only had a set of the slower hard tires available. At the restart, Max's car nearly went sideways, allowing Charles Leclerc to pass. Max then went off-track as George tried to pass, but came out ahead. His team told Max to give the place back to George. Max wasn't happy about the instruction and appeared to deliberately hit George when it looked like he was letting him through. That earned Max a 10-second penalty and three points on his licence (he's now only one point away from a one race ban!). At the end, it was McLaren first and second with Oscar ahead of Lando. Charles got his second podium in a row with George in fourth. Nico Hulkenberg in his Kick Sauber surprised a lot of people by passing Lewis near the end to finish fifth. Max actually crossed the line in fifth, but his penalty pushed him back to 10th. In ninth, former World Champion Fernando Alonso was cheered by his home crowd as he scored his first points of the season. You can see the highlights here. Oscar is now 10 points ahead of Lando in the drivers' championship. In the constructors championship, McLaren have over double the points of their nearest rivals, Ferrari, who in-turn moved ahead of Mercedes today. It's two weeks until the next race in Canada.

It appears in the dialogue too. In 'The Return of the Mean Green Machine', Vance says "See if you can get up broadside, close as you can." and Coy replies "Aye, aye, skipper." Skipper Ward Surplus was a nod to Skip Ward who was associate producer/producer/supervising producer on 116 episodes (I'm sure I've mentioned this before).

The veteran Jesse found for the graveyard in 'R.I.P. Henry Flatt' was from the First Construction BATTALION.

It looks like I missed out on a auction before the Monaco Grand Prix. The Ferrari driven to victory by Michael Schumacher in the 2001 race sold for €15.98 million ($18.11 million at today's rates), making it the fourth most expensive F1 car ever sold. Oh well, I was a couple of bucks short anyway! As the joke goes: I'm almost a millionaire. I have all the zeros, I now just need a one!

There were three in 'Dukes Meet Cale Yarborough'!

Well, the double pit stop rule in Monaco didn't make much difference. The top four on the grid finished in the order they started. Lando Norris' win now puts him only three points behind his team mate Oscar Piastri, with Max Verstappen a further 22 points back. Lewis Hamilton recovered two of the three places that he was demoted to finish fifth. It was also a good day for RB and Williams who had both their cars in the points. Down the field, some of the teams used their second drivers to slow the down the cars behind to give their first cars a free pit stop. This frustrated George Russell so much that he overtook a Williams by cutting a chicane. When he told his team that he'd rather take the penalty than give the place back, he was given a drive-through penalty which cost him about 20 seconds. You can see the race highlights here. McLaren are now well ahead in the constructors' championship, but there's only five points between Mercedes in second and Ferrari in fourth with Red Bull in the middle. Next weekend is the Spanish Grand Prix in Barcelona.

Again, I think they're similar but different. The one in 'The Ghost of General Lee' gets into a crash at the end, so was probably damaged. There are actually two trucks used in 'Arrest Jesse Duke'. The one the car strippers get into outside the parts store was originally white, and still has white paint visible inside the cab and patchy bits on the back and roof of the cab. During the chase it's a different truck - they acquire a bed of tires and all the white paint has gone. This is close to the 'The Ghost of General Lee' truck, but the rust/wear spots are in different places. As they pass Boss' house leaving the square in 'The Ghost of General Lee' they pass a very similar truck. Maybe this was the other one from the episode. It reminded me of the extra General parked in the square in 'One Armed Bandits'.

I'm not sure that it counts as a mistake. The extra officer is manning the roadblock as Rosco drives off, and then he moves the barrier when he come back through. The Hazzard County Police Department was much larger in 'One Armed Bandits', and Boss hired many deputies throughout the series, it's just that this one isn't referenced in the storyline.

Qualifying proved to be very tight, with positions changing right up to the end. Charles Leclerc looked to have bettered the McLarens until Lando Norris set a new lap record to take pole. The top five for tomorrow's race are: 1. Lando Norris - McLaren 2. Charles Leclerc - Ferrari 3. Oscar Piastri - McLaren 4. Max Verstappen - Red Bull 5. Isack Hadjar - RB You can see the highlights here. NB. The video shows that Lewis Hamilton qualified in fourth, but he was later demoted to seventh for impeding Max in Q1. You can see the pole lap from Lando's cockpit here. I've probably mentioned in previous years that the teams have to fit the cars with special steering racks to get around the hairpin at Monaco.
