Max Verstappen got his FIA Super Licence, which allowed him to compete in Grands Prix, when he was 17. He didn't get his road licence until he was 18, and even then he was too young to rent a hire car!

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 the Boar's Nest. Back in November, he also answered what he consider to be the top 10 Dukes of Hazzard questions of all time. I doubt that it contains many surprises for the folks here on HazzardNet.

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."

Hoggominiums were mentioned when Boss wanted to build Hogg's Happy Hacienda on the site of Cooter's Garage in 'Hughie Hogg Strikes Again' in season 4.

I'm late to the party, but it's good to have you back, Garrett. Don't be a stranger

If you check your new 'The Dukes of Hazzard: The Unofficial Companion', you'll see that John was away filming the made-for-tv movie 'Dream House'. I seem to remember watching it a few years ago.

I've had it for many years, Roger, and it's currently about 2 feet from my computer. The episode guides will give you extra things to look out for when you do your Uncle Jesse's episode reviews. There's also some good info in the cast bios and other behind-the-scenes trivia.

The repeated chasing around the square before they knock the door off the truck is the scene as they're leaving Springville (aka. Hazzard Square redressed) in 'Deputy Dukes'. The guy in the truck doesn't speak, so he isn't credited. Here he is: The truck question is the same one that was driven by Swamp Molly a few episodes earlier. I don't remember the scene with guy jumping from the outhouse, but they could've used the same actor.

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.

Our next phase of easing of lockdown starts tomorrow. I was walking around the town this afternoon, and a lot of the high street stores look like they're ready to reopen. Unlike the UK, the same doesn't apply stores at indoor shopping malls which have to wait for now.

I found the first time you asked here. Unfortunately, other than the last post saying that your wife had suggested 'Happy Birthday, General Lee', we didn't get an answer.

potato chips (we have crisps called Hula Hoops over here, but I know you guys call them chips)

I'd love to help, Roger, and I probably could if I was sitting in your living room, but as some US AV connections are different to Europe, I'd only be guessing from here. If your wife can't fix it, feel free to PM me with extra info like the models of the equipment and the cables you're using.

Sausages (this thread has taken a turn for the wurst )

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

The final jump in 'Hooper' had Burt Reynolds and Jan-Michael Vincent in the car, but that was because one of them had to read a boost gauge and activate the boost. As you say, there was no reason for Luke to ride along. BTW. Jimmie Best was in both scenes (Hooper and Dukes)!

They also went to Atlanta at least twice (although I don't think they say how far it was), and mode two trips to Hollywood (which is about 2,200 miles each way from Atlanta)
