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.)

Pictures of the lumberyard can be found here, while pictures of the Duke farm being set on fire are here and here - they're all in the 'Valencia Oaks Movie Ranch' thread, along with screengrabs from 'Murder She Wrote' and 'Forced to Kill'.

In case anyone is unfamiliar with that Knight Rider episode, I posted some screengrabs here.

Congratulations, Mark. It's thoroughly deserved.

The lights are beautiful. It's just a shame that it hardly ever gets dark in Hazzard .

My mistake - it must have been the 2002 race that I went to because the Arrows team was still racing. I watched it from near Stowe corner, i.e. the far side of the track from the start/finish straight as it was at the time. You're correct that the priest ran across the track during the 2003 race.

Thanks for the pictures, Roth. The only motoring event I've been to at Silverstone was the 2003 British Grand Prix, although I did run around the circuit during a hail storm in the early '80s (and being an old airfield, it was quite exposed!). I haven't been back since they changed the layout a few years ago. Regarding the truck racing, I've seen it on TV a few times and it looks pretty exciting. When I was in London, one of the teams used to keep their truck outside an industrial unit near where I worked.

belly (as in a good belly laugh) In British English we'd generally use the word snigger to mean the same thing (snicker would be regarded as American). Snickers is also a European maker of workwear.

I hope they're all high-pressure hoses, and not those "plain old store-bought rubber hoses" that nearly saw the end of Cooter's in 'Welcome Back, Bo 'n' Luke' (when they were switched by Joey).

I've highlighted the visible camera mount on the hood in 'Dukes Meet Cale Yarborough', and I thought I'd mentioned the interior of Cale's car changing color when they paint the exterior (if I did, it must be in another thread), but I think the disappearing roll bar is a new one. Here's the beginning and end of Cale's test run - one with a roll bar ... ... and one without!

Mark, I'm sure you've started posted screengrabs from the show instead of pictures of your model . Excellent work!

It almost seems a shame to take off the vinyl roof since the car looks good as it is. The subtlety of the ghost signs is great.

Welcome to HNet, Mike. You're the second model maker who's joined recently. I look forward to your General Lee pics.

It was nice of the organizers to dedicate the show to James Best. I hope you enjoy seeing your first General Lee .
