Here are a couple of bloopers from season 3. In 'Hazzardville Horror' the crooks drive a blue van with "Good Neighbor Plumbing Co." written on the side and back. However, when they rob Boss at gunpoint near the end of the episode, the van has no signs on it. Near the start of 'And In This Corner, Luke Duke', Cletus helps Rosco move Boss's mirror in the Boar's Nest parking lot. As he turns it to show the approaching General, a soundman holding a boom mic is briefly visible on the left of the reflection.

It looks like a '65 Caddy, so it's actually five years older than the one in the show .

This is a screengrab from 'Mrs. Rosco P. Coltrane', which is the episode where the General ends up in the hay trailer. This is also from 'Mrs. Rosco P. Coltrane'.

For me, the site was only down for an hour or two yesterday evening. I checked on www.isup.me, and confirmed the site was down. No problems today .

nervous (Only because it reminded me of the Lemon Jelly track below) Ready? Ready.

That hand gesture normally means "OK".

There's always the Chinese F1 Grand Prix this Sunday, but I fear that the 3 AM ET start may be a bit early/late for Garrett .

I had a go at fixing the levels, but couldn't get any detail in the uniforms.

I forgot to comment on this picture the other day. Could it be that they used a real crocodile/alligator for some of this scene and used a water tank to keep control of where the action took place. If they did, they black line could be a rubber band, which is all you need to keep their mouth shut! I'll let Stephen Fry explain it on an old episode of the BBC panel show QI.

Do I get the job with Enos and the LAPD? As far as I can tell, this image has been mirrored.

Just an quick update to the Gene Haas/F1 story that I posted a couple of months ago. F1 has now accepted an entry from NASCAR owner Gene Haas to run a team in the 2015 season. It was mentioned by the commentators during the race on Saturday, but I forgot to post it then. Gene Haas commented "Obviously, we're extremely pleased. It's an exciting time. Now, the really hard work begins."

Thanks for the round-up, Garrett. I stuck with the race until about 90 to go, but had to call it a night. At least Ricky Stenhouse Jr. made up about seven or eight places by the end, and I don't think he hit the wall either .

I can see the point of making drivers try to get wins (F1 gives 25 points for first and only 18 for second to try and acheive this), but a few more consistent drivers should be rewarded too. They're playing with the points in F1 this year too. The last race has taken place in Brazil for the last few years, but this year the season finishes in Abu Dhabi and the race scores double points. Bernie Ecclestone (the boss of F1) wanted the last three races to score double, but the plan received a unanimous "no" vote at a meeting earlier this year.

That's real downtown Los Angeles. They're running across Temple on Main (the "ple" of the Temple Street sign is just visible between them). In the background you can see the bridge that links City Hall with City Hall East. You can explore for yourself on Google Streetview. Spin the camera 90 degrees to the left and you'll see where the photo below was taken.

As you say, McDermott's Furniture Mart only appeared in the first season and some of the second. My guess is that the picture is from the second season because of the improved window signs at Fanny's Fabrics (far right).

You're right. Austin Dillon has been driving well this year, as has fellow rookie Kyle Larson. I still have to think twice to remember that JPM is no longer driving the #42 car .

Kevin Harvick has just claimed pole for the Bojangles' Southern 500 at Darlington - he was also quickest in practice 1. Just for a change, Brad Keselowski starts all the way back in fifth! Garrett, I'm afraid it's mixed news for your drivers - Jeff Gordon starts in ninth, but Jimmie Johnson failed to make it through the first round of qualifying. Jimmie starts in 26th, two places ahead of Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Lizzy, you've probably told us already, but which driver(s) do you go for? Here's the full lineup: 1 Kevin Harvick 2 Joey Logano 3 Aric Almirola 4 Marcos Ambrose 5 Brad Keselowski 6 Jamie McMurray 7 Ryan Newman 8 Kyle Busch 9 Jeff Gordon 10 Denny Hamlin 11 Paul Menard 12 Martin Truex Jr 13 Kurt Busch 14 Brian Vickers 15 Dale Earnhardt Jr 16 Clint Bowyer 17 Kyle Larson 18 AJ Allmendinger 19 Greg Biffle 20 Austin Dillon 21 Carl Edwards 22 Kasey Kahne 23 Tony Stewart 24 Justin Allgaier 25 Matt Kenseth 26 Jimmie Johnson 27 David Gilliland 28 Ricky Stenhouse Jr 29 Josh Wise 30 Michael Annett 31 Casey Mears 32 David Ragan 33 Danica Patrick 34 Alex Bowman 35 Landon Cassill 36 Dave Blaney 37 David Stremme 38 Parker Kligerman 39 Ryan Truex 40 Reed Sorenson 41 Travis Kvapil 42 Cole Whitt 43 Joe Nemechek Only David Reutimann failed to qualify. Remember y'all, this is a Saturday race at 6:30 PM ET on Fox.

That's a pretty comprehensive list, PJ. I only have a couple of small additions: Cletus wore a red and white plaid shirt with jeans in 'Enos Strate to the Top' in season 3. Cooter changed his cap regularly e.g. DOG, Red Rose Animal Feeds etc., so you can also narrow the time frame by checking his headgear.

Watch the scene for yourself. I don't think the rope is tied to the steering system, and the General starts out almost touching the cars behind. I can't see any way the car could've been towed into that that position.

The guy you don't like is Billie Joe Coogan (played by Michael Alldredge), and the episode is 'The Ransom of Hazzard County' near the end fof season 6. I posed the same question when I posted a smaller version of this advert back on page 45.

This one may seem petty. In 'Carnival of Thrills', when Rosco arrests Bo and tows the General back to Hazzard, there is no way that a driverless General Lee could've got into the position seen in the picture below without being pushed there from close to where it ends up. Also, when the General runs into the patrol car, notice how the nudge bar, which is only welded to the bumper, nearly comes off after a very low speed collision.

The TV channel is 'E! Entertainment Television'.

Well Garrett, I hate to jump in here again, but I got to see most of the postponed race. I will admit I forget that postponed races start closer to the posted time, so I missed the first few laps. In this case the noon start suited my time zone, but it'll be a different story next week in Darlington when the 6:30 PM start means the racing will probably get under way around midnight my time! The race started under caution. From what I've read, a couple of the drivers were allowed to make a pit stops to reset cowl flaps without losing their positions. The green flag racing didn't last long because Junior hit the turn 1 wall on lap 13 and spent the rest of the race in the garage. Jimmie Johnson's car picked up damage from the debris and got a flat tire a few laps later which put him two laps down. The next section of the race was mainly led by Tony Stewart who was fighting with Kevin Harvick for first place. Because of the previous day's rain, there was a competition caution at lap 50. Ricky Stenhouse Jr. had made his way up to 20th before the caution, but after it he quickly dropped to around 28th where he spent most of the rest of the race. There were green flag pits stops around lap 100, and NASCAR decided that a second competition caution wasn't needed. Tony Stewart dropped down the top ten allowing Brad Keselowski to take the lead with Denny Hamlin close behind. During this time, Jeff Gordon had been quietly making his way up the top ten, and managed to take the lead a couple of times before the halfway point. A few laps later, Denny Hamlin picked up a pit road penalty, but he managed to stay just outside the top ten. There was another caution on lap 176 as Kurt Busch slid into the infield and left debris on the track. Jeff Gordon won the fight off pit road, but soon lost the lead to Brad Keselowski. Kurt Busch had another slide on lap 220, bringing out another caution. There's not much to report for the next 100 or so laps. Then, just as Joey Logano was about to take the white flag, Kurt Busch hit the wall at turn 2. All the leaders pitted, and Brad Keselowski picked up a penalty for exiting too quickly. Trevor Bayne and Micheal Annett also got penalties for pitting too early. Jeff Gordon, who'd been running about 6th, gambled on only taking two tires, and came out in the lead. After the green flag he only held the lead for a short time before Joey Logano swept past and went on to take the green-white-checkered finish. Here's how they all finished (#s in brackets indicate laps led): 1 Joey Logano (108) 2 Jeff Gordon (40) 3 Kyle Busch (10) 4 Brian Vickers 5 Kyle Larson 6 Greg Biffle 7 Matt Kenseth 8 Clint Bowyer (1) 9 Paul Menard 10 Tony Stewart (74) 11 Kasey Kahne 12 Aric Almirola 13 Denny Hamlin (20) 14 Carl Edwards 15 Brad Keselowski (85) 16 Ryan Newman 17 Jamie McMurray 18 Martin Truex Jr 19 Trevor Bayne 20 Marcos Ambrose 21 Austin Dillon 22 David Gilliland 23 AJ Allmendinger 24 Justin Allgaier 25 Jimmie Johnson 26 Ricky Stenhouse Jr 27 Danica Patrick 28 Casey Mears 29 Michael Annett 30 Michael McDowell 31 Cole Whitt 32 Alex Bowman 33 Reed Sorenson (1) 34 Landon Cassill 35 David Ragan 36 Josh Wise 37 Travis Kvapil 38 David Reutimann 39 Kurt Busch 40 Parker Kligerman 41 Dave Blaney 42 Kevin Harvick (1) 43 Dale Earnhardt Jr According to the unofficial standings, Jeff Gordon now leads Matt Kenseth by four points with Jimmie Johnson down in seventh (although level on points with Junior in sixth).

Just in case anyone's wondering, today's race has been officially postponed due to rain. It will now take place tomorrow (Monday) at noon. Am I the only one to see the irony in having a race sponsored by Duck Commander postponed by conditions that are sometimes described as "nice weather for ducks"!

Yesterday I came across this picture of Sorrell on Ebay. It's from a 1976 ABC program called 'Zero Intelligence'. The notes on the back give a load of information about co-stars and air dates, but I couldn't find any trace of the show on IMDb. After a little Googling, I found it was an unsold pilot which was to star Sorrell as the base commander of a remote Alaskan US Air Force radar station. You can read more about it on Television Obscurities. In hindsight, it's lucky this wasn't a success, because it's unlikely that Sorrell would've made Dukes if it was.
