Welcome to HNet, Justin .

I only have one other Diane song, but there are a few Jack songs around. Anyway ... Weather With You - Crowded House You'll have to click the "More reply options" button to get a preview. It just shows the address in the reply box.

I just pasted the address of the video straight into the reply window. Jack & Diane - John Mellencamp

These boys think you may have the wrong franchise . Very impressive pics - did Ben get to see your model in person?

Thanks for updating us again, Lizzy. I did check the result, and was pleased to see Ricky Stenhouse Jr get a top 10 finish, but for me yesterday was all about the action in Texas. After rain prevented qualifying for the US Grand Prix on its usual Saturday slot, they managed a truncated session on Sunday morning, with the race in the afternoon. Lewis Hamilton started in second, but, despite claiming the lead at the first corner, slipped back to fourth as he struggled on the intermediate rain tires. As the race progressed, the track dried and the slick tires went on. First hindered and then helped by virtual and actual safety cars, Lewis worked his way back to second place behind his team mate Nico Rosberg. With less than 10 laps (of 56) to go, Nico made a mistake and Lewis took the lead, which he held to the checkered flag. With Lewis's nearest rival finishing third, the win was enough make him 2015 World Champion with three races still to go. He becomes only the second British driver to take three world titles, and the only British driver to take two of them back-to-back. He now has the same number as his hero, Ayrton Senna. In Formula 1, the only magnums they use to celebrate wins in Texas are filled with Champagne!

I couldn't really do a 2015 makeover of the Double Zero without also doing Amy Creavy's Mustang. I've left off some of the original's chrome parts because I think the all black color scheme looks better.

How time flies! I was going to start this post by saying that I recently posted a picture of an updated General Lee based on a stretched Dodge Challenger. It turns out I actually posted that in May 2014 - you can see it here. Then, completely by chance, I came across mock-ups of modern versions of the Double Zero and Cooter's Camaro at the weekend. You can see them here. Inspired by these pictures, I decided to do my own updated Double Zero based on a 2015 Mustang. I thought it looked better with less chrome than the original, although I did add a ring around the grille. I also toyed with additional fog lights in the grille (similar to the original), but eventually left them out.

The Cobra 77x and 78x are quite similar to each other, but nothing like the one above. The 77x has an extra knob marked "DYNAMIKE", and the level meter on the left uses a different graphic. When I Googled Dukes of Hazzard CB radio, most of the results showed the 78x, and that's also the one that gets mentioned a couple of times on this forum. I don't have a screengrab to prove it, but I'll look out for one. Here are the models in question.

A while ago, Mark B asked me if I'd ever done a front and back view of Cooter's van from 'Uncle Boss'. At the time I hadn't, but now I have . There are still very few reference photos available, so I just had to do my best from screengrabs. I've also tweaked the original side view to fix some minor details.

Thanks for the review, Lizzy. I actually got to see most of the race today . The Larson/Busch incident was quite comical. I don't think that could happen in F1 because 1) they have to follow a safety car in single file, and 2) any cars entering the pits must be within a white line marked on the track. For safety reasons there's also a line on the pit exit. I've seen a few drivers penalized for crossing the exit line, but in today's Russian Grand Prix the stewards gave a driver a 5-second penalty for crossing the entry line.

Sorry I missed your post, BCF124, and thanks for taking the time to solve the crosswords. I think you're actually referring to the clue for 17 down in crossword #4. You can find the answer in 'Ding, Dong, the Boss Is Dead' in season 5. If you want a further clue, the first word is a metallic element. Hope that helps - PM me if you're still stuck .

Thanks for that, Mark. I'm not a huge fan of most modern Country music, but this one avoided the clichés and had a great banjo. To save people searching, here's the video: I'm not the only one who finds some modern Country music formulaic. I found this video earlier in the year, but never got around to posting it, It's a mashup of six recent (2013/2014) songs. I don't think we've seen it on HNet before.

I think R2 has just been helping Cooter with his latest project .

I'll have to keep an eye out for that episode. This is probably unrelated, but in the season 5 DVD extra 'Hazzard County Stunt Team - Reunited and in Your Face!', stuntman Henry Kingi says this: But also, when you said we'd get paid on that set out there, where there's this wonderful golf course and all these million-dollar homes now, everybody owned a piece of that location. Because when I tore up a bridge, a little payment went back to pay for the bridge so that was mine, Kingi Bridge. The mention of a golf course and million-dollar homes suggests he's talking about the Sherwood Ranch rather than Valencia Oaks.

Lizzy, you might be thinking of a line from 'The Great Bank Robbery' (S04E06). Rosco pulls over the Duke Boys and finds the money from the bank robbery in the back of the General. As Rosco tries to arrest them, Bo kicks his gun out of his hand. Waylon's full quote is: "Shoot. Y'all should have seen old Bo kick the football for Hazzard High. He was 10 for 12, and no shoes. If he'd have used his right foot, he'd have put Rosco's pistol back in the holster." As they drive off, Luke says "Bless your pointed little foot. It wasn't even third and long yardage, you punted us right out of trouble."

I've never seen the movie, and obviously it would be helpful if you could post the picture, but IMCDb lists the following Yamahas in 'The Devil and Max Devlin': Yamaha IT 175 Yamaha TT 500 1980 Yamaha YZ 1979 Yamaha YZ 250 The IT 175 gets most stars, indicating it has more screen-time than the others. Check out the page here.

Here are a couple of screengrabs showing Miz Tisdale delivering Turk and Moody's disguises in 'Double Dukes'. I know almost nothing about motorcycles, but IMCDb.com identifies it as a 1981 Yamaha IT 175 I. Here's a picture for reference. By the way, Roger, you also misspelled "misspelled" - or should that be mizspelled .

Great to have you on HNet, Bo. You've come to the right place .

Sadly, I have to hijack this thread once more. When I checked the news this morning, I saw that British IndyCar driver Justin Wilson had succumbed to head injuries suffered at Pocono Raceway on Sunday. Wilson had been in a coma since hitting debris from a car driven by Sage Karam. He is survived by his wife, Julia, and two daughters, aged seven and five. More info can be found on indycar.com. RIP. Justin Boyd Wilson (31 July 1978 – 24 August 2015)

death (I'm just going by Benjamin Franklin's famous quote about what's certain in life. I've also just found out that Daniel Defoe originated the phrase over 50 years earlier.)
