Don't worry Roger, you're not going mad. I said it was a '68 because that's how it's described on IMCDb, and the only picture they have definitely shows a car with a '68 front fender and grille: However, I did a little more research and found a thread about the car on www.dodgecharger.com which has several extra pictures, including a clear view of the '69 tail lights you saw, and a few of the interior. The comments suggest that this was a "survivor" General Lee that just had some of the front end swapped with a '68 model. On a related issue, I was watching an episode of 'The Fall Guy' called 'Bite of the Wasp' earlier that included a Charger in one of the stunts. The car was all yellow, but had '69 tail lights and General Lee wheels. After the car was flipped its wheels alternated serveral times between General Lee wheels and steel wheels that had been painted silver. As another Dukes connection, this episode was the second of three to guest star Mary-Margaret Humes aka. Tinker from 'Mason Dixon's Girls'.

I had a feeling that you'd remember, CD. It was 'Cletus Falls in Love'. Sheriff Little (who's guarding the Hazzard jail) gets distracted by Daisy and Cletus (out of uniform) while Cooter pulls out the bars with his tow truck, allowing Bo and Luke to escape. Even the threat of getting shot doesn't stop them! This scene with Colonel Jackson's pie truck occurs during the getaway:

I think the episode you're remembering is 'Enos's Last Chance' from season 6 (episode 10), although Bo, Luke and Cooter dress up as decoys for Enos, not Rosco: I can't immediately remember which episode the second scene is from, but I'll keep thinking .

I think BL's right again. I've never seen the movie, which didn't help . I checked the car out on IMCDb and found it was actually a 1968 Charger, but mostly the right color and it has the right wheels. One of the commenters seems sure it was a survivor form Dukes.

I'm going to play out of turn again, sadly for another tribute. Andy Williams passed away on 25th September after a year-long battle with bladder cancer. I have to confess, I don't really know the song above, but it fitted with the previous one. Ones I know better include (which I've posted before), (I went for the video from epic Honda commercial of a couple of years ago), and probably the best known, .RIP. Howard Andrew "Andy" Williams (December 3, 1927 – September 25, 2012).

From the man they called "The Velvet Fog":

I've just posted a Dionne Warwick song in Musical Chairs and it reminded me that one of her songs was part of the "Cover to Cover" feature recently. Here are the two versions to compare and contrast: This week's song had two very different versions. I'm very familiar with the original British soul version (y'all may remember it from 'Shallow Hal'), but had never heard the countrified version from 1995:

I know I've already done a Hal David tribute, but when did you ever hear a complaint about too much Bacharach and David?

I'm breaking two rules here: one of HazzardNet's and one of my own! I'd promised myself that I would try not to create any more threads in 'Fan Art' (I figured I was being greedy), but here I go with a new one. Not only that, but the artwork isn't even related to the Dukes of Hazzard (I hope the mods will be gentle with me ). Seeing as I had updated vector art for a Dodge Charger and a '68 Mustang I couldn't resist the urge to do this project, so I'm kicking off this new thread with the two cars from possibly the greatest chase in movie history. If you haven't guessed, it's 'Bullitt'. The baddies had the black '68 Charger (I had to change the front end, rear end and side markers), while Steve McQueen chased them in a highland green Mustang. For those of you unfamiliar with the chase, you can see most of it here. I've got a few other movie cars in mind, and will add them as soon as they're done.

I'm going to agree with BL. I actually remember all three of these .

Welcome to HNet, EG. I'm glad you took the plunge and signed up. We look forward to your contributions.

bacon I wanted to put jentacular, a great word I only learned a few days ago, but feared it may prove to be a dead end .

I'm relying on educated guesses here; I don't know any for sure: Crater Lake Judge Buford P. Potts Polk County

I'm going for B, A, B.

You really need to listen to this on headphones to get the full benefit of the stereo trickery toward the end of the track. If you don't have headphones handy, stick your head between your speakers. It takes me back to listening to it in mid-80s on a cassette Walkman .

The uploader describes this as "bangin Harmonica blues". I've always thought of him as a folk musician. Either way, it's a great tune: The track is from the 1989 album 'Footsteps and Heartbeats'. On the liner notes of his LPs Rory is usually credited with playing both footsteps and heartbeats along with spoons, harmonica etc. I saw him play live the year this came out, and he filled the theater with just the sound of his harmonica. The uploader has added a clip from an old 'Felix The Cat' movie for the video. I'm not sure why, but it's quite fun .

It looks like you're following in the footsteps of Norm Abram, so just make sure you remember what he says about eye safety : Maybe you could call your TV show 'The New Jackeen Workshop' .

I noticed that too. I think it's a '71 Olds Cutlass, which would fit with the license plate. It also has the wrong wheels, but it is in the UK where Chargers are a little harder to get hold of. Having said that, the second and third cars are also in the UK and they're both very good looking Chargers, even if one is a '68 (incorrectly tagged as a '67).

It was Cannonball time again earlier today. This year the cars all parked up in a makeshift car park after some good burnouts up the hill. Several of this years' entries were the same as last year, so I've just included some of the new additions. Quite a few of the drivers/passengers dressed up for the occasion, like this smart Polizei officer in an Audi and Chewbacca in a Maserati. Some other costumes, not shown here, included The Blues Brothers, Top Gear's The Stig and some NYC Police. Some of the cars also dressed up. How about a leopard print Rolls Royce or flower power stretched limo? The Maserati ambulance didn't look very practical, but did include some handy livestock advice above the grille . The were a few US cars again this year, although not as many as the website had promised. The ones that did make it included a couple of Corvettes, a Hummer, a 2006 Mustang, a mid-70s Camaro and this '69 Camaro with a huge blower (similar to Vin Diesel's Charger in 'The Fast and the Furious'). I got to sit in the orange Lamborghini, and it was a bit cramped for my height. I told the owner that I liked the color, but it was the wrong sort of car . Finally, I'll leave you with the Gardai talking to an unmasked Batman. As the cars left to make their way to the hotel he came down the street revving the engine in his Ferrari (he was driving very slowly and not doing burnouts). He was pulled over and given a breath test, which he passed. I guess it's not every day that they can say they stopped Batman!
