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!

Snickers (Snickers bars were marketed as "Marathon" bars in the UK and Ireland until 1990)

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 .

Willkommen zu HNet, BerlinDuke. Although I'm in Europe, sadly, I won't be able to attend the Euro Dukesfest. Maybe Roth is going.

If Roger had pictures, I bet he'd be waiting to collect them from the drugstore . I also looked at the Northeast Ohio Dukes site, but all they had was this 2015 promo (uploaded 12/22/2014) which I think is new to the thread:

My apologies, it was a great result for Max. I've just seen his interview, and he was nearly speechless. It was also good to see both McLarens in the points.

As Mufn said, welcome to HNet, Andrew, and we look forward to seeing some pictures of your models.

Well, today's Hungarian GP sure didn't turn out like that. A win for Ferrari, and Red Bull filling the other two podium places. Mercedes could only manage sixth and eighth in an incident-packed race.

After Cooter launches the bike through the door, Bo says "Cooter, that ain't no way to treat your bike." Cooter replies "It wasn't mine." Bo says "No.", and then a guy at the pinball machine says "It was mine." as he punches Cooter in the face.

Why would Cooter wear sunglasses with one lens missing, and at night? He ain't dumb, but he is crazy .

I'm no good at identifying bikes, but here are a couple of pictures which might help someone else: This one shows some text on the panel below the seat, but I can't read it.

toupée (allegedly!) There are so many things you can say about a man who wants to build a great wall to keep out immigrants, but won't be influenced by the Chinese .

If I may hijack this thread for a moment, I've just heard the sad news that Formula 1 driver Jules Bianchi has died. The 25-year-old Frenchman had been in a coma since a crash at the Japanese Grand Prix nine months ago. BBC F1 commentator and former team owner Eddie Jordan spoke this morning of how Jules had been on Ferrari's young driver program, and how he was destined for great things. During last year's rain-hit Japanese Grand Prix, Jules' car left the track and hit a recovery vehicle that was picking up the crashed car of Adrian Sutil. His family said: "Jules fought right to the very end, as he always did, but today his battle came to an end." This is the first death of a Formula 1 driver resulting from injuries sustained in a race since Ayrton Senna in 1991. Safety car procedures were changed by the next race, so hopefully this kind of accident will never happen again. More info here.

Welcome to HNet. It looks like you have a lot of work ahead of you. That Charger looks a little odd with the headlights exposed by the missing grille - you don't often see them like that. Are you planning to change the front clip to a '69, or are you keeping it as a '70?

Are they still eating squirrels, Roger?

Thanks for the review, Lizzy, and for the links you posted earlier this week. I haven't been able to follow the races like I did last year, but I try keep up-to-date with the results.

Good question, Roth. There was no information about the car at the event, and no one to ask. I haven't seen many modern F1 cars close-up, and the supplying company's website is still under construction. If I remember, I'll check their site again in the future to see whether it's genuine or a replica. The Hesketh is definitely the real thing.

This Rolls Royce was for sale, although I didn't see a price. I think there were four of these Goldwing trikes. This one came complete with a trailer. The red and white tape was just to stop people sitting on it. I was surprised to see this McLaren Formula 1 car displayed under a Red Bull tent. It's one of Lewis Hamilton's cars from a few years ago. The Minis in the background were doing a handling display of reversing, handbrake turns and donuts. I'll finish with another Formula 1 car. This is a race-winning Hesketh from the mid-70s. It's driven here by Freddie Hunt, son of the late Formula 1 World Champion James Hunt who originally drove it. Anyone who's seen Ron Howard's 2013 movie 'Rush' will know the James Hunt/Niki Lauda story.

Another Summer weekend, another car show. This one was billed as a 'Festival of Speed', no doubt because of the well-established and popular 'Goodwood Festival of Speed' which took place in England a couple of weeks ago (I'll have to go to that one year). The first thing I looked at was a display of old and new rally cars. The one below is a Metro 6R4, one of the banned Group B rally cars from the mid-80s. Most of the rally cars took to the track to do a few circuits. As I was photographing the rally cars, a line of Ferraris turned up. They included a 355, a Testarossa, a Dino and a Mondial. There were also two 308 GTSs, so I briefly got to play Magnum P.I. when one of the owners let me sit in the driver's seat. I think that this was the only American car at the show. I originally saw this Ford Galaxie back in April at the show I posted about above, which is when I took this picture. It has now acquired a new sticker on the hood. Gun ownership is generally illegal here, so it's quite safe to display the Confederate flag!

Welcome to HNet, Heather. You're right, we're not a bad bunch .

Thanks for your reply, Mufn. I'm sure Firefox has updated in the last month (I'm currently on version 38.0.5), but HNet is the only site where I've seen this right-click behavior. Other forums, and sites like eBay and Amazon, still give me the old style menu.
