I found an old MySpace site last year with 18 of these miniatures pictures (including six of these eight). The MySpace link is now dead, but you can see some discussion about the miniatures here. I'll dig out the other 12 pictures and post them tomorrow.

As i'm not English I don't really know how to react to that, but isn't there a saying for that? I believe it is "He just shot himself in the toe".
The phrase is usually "He shot himself in the foot", but you're close enough
.I think he went on the forum to publicize the new product without realizing how many inaccuracies there were. I get the feeling that he thought the decal tweaks were pretty much all that was needed.
Hoss would you like if I'd post my Police Car and Corgi General Lee too?Yes, please do. Did your Corgi General come with Bo and Luke?

Thanks for your contributions, Roth.
Both of the models have the same rollcage, It's seems to be a compromised full rollcage. This type of rollcage was not used in the series nor any of the movies.As I said above, I have the Ertl Authentics General which is very close to the AutoWorld model. I remember reading a discussion on another website before the AutoWorld one came out. Someone (supposedly) from the manufacturer posted about the improvements they planned, and asked it anything else needed to be tweaked. I know one of the other posters criticized the rollcage design, at which point the manufacturer guy said that they didn't have the budget to redesign anything significant, and he didn't take the further criticism well either.
In the booth is a pipe going from the fuel cap to the fuel tank, I find this arrow straight tube quite weird as it limits the packing capacity. If this pipe is the same in a real 1969 Dodge Charger please let me know.Yes, the real boot (or I suppose I should say "trunk") really is that badly designed:

I've just read the sad news that yodeling country/folk sing Slim Whitman has passed away at 90. His 1955 hit
held the record for longest time at #1 in the UK charts for 36 years. Although he had most of his success between the '50s and '70s, his music played a large part in the plot of the 1996 movie 'Mars Attacks' (the Martians heads exploded when they heard his).To keep in with the last post, and to follow the rules of this thread, I'm going for:
I Remember You - Slim Whitman
RIP. Ottis Dewey Whitman, Jr. (January 20, 1923 – June 19, 2013)

I can't even find that one, but I like it. I did find a variation:
"They can’t fire me, slaves have to be sold."

You're only young once but you can be immature forever.
(author unknown)
I thought I'd Google this one to see if I could find who did say it. So far I've found it (with slight modifications) attributed to Ogden Nash, Germaine Greer, John P. Grier, Charles Scoggins and Hannah Marks. Most sites suggest one of the first two. It's probably safe to say that the author is unknown.

The idea of a "lonely hearts" section came up in this thread, and I think the general view was that it wasn't a good idea. The new forum doesn't currently have a chat room, so you're probably stuck with PMing people for the time being.

Kasey Kahne had a dominant car when he got wrecked out of the race...think it was a tire.
He hit the wall pretty hard and his car caught fire. He jumped out quickly before reaching in to pull the fire extinguisher.
It really was a bad day for HMS - Jimmie came home as top driver in 28th.
I was pleased to see Ricky running inside the top ten for a while, but he (and a couple of others) pitted just before Jamie McMurray's tire blew, so it put him out of sequence. I'd love a top ten finish before too long.

Commercials
in TV
I see that now Lewis Hamilton has changed teams, Tony Stewart is doing his Mobil 1 commercials with Lewis's former team mate, Jenson Button:
I'm hoping they do one where Jenson gets the upper hand, because he really does compete in triathlons, and does very well in them.

Thanks for sharing - I've never seen it before. From the YouTube comments it looks like it may have been uploaded by the boy in the film, but I'd like to know a little more about it.

Here's a UK commercial for Somersby Cider where the launch is promoted like a new technical device. The main ingredient of cider may give you a clue to which company they are having a dig at

Hey, Garrett. It sounds like you enjoyed watching some men with sticks hit a ball around a field yesterday, but it doesn't excuse you from your NASCAR duties
. Maybe it was seeing your drivers in 17th and 29th that put you off writing up the qualifying. I'm happy with Ricky's 15th, although it's a shame that Tony Stewart got in the middle to split up all the Juniors .Sunday's Quicken Loans 400 race at the Michigan International Speedway is at 01:00 PM ET, and will be on TNT.

Welcome back to full-time participation, CD. I hope the exams went well.
This might not mean anything to our friends across The Pond, or to someone your age, but when I saw the thread title I thought of this character

"The liar's punishment is not in the least that he is not believed, but that he cannot believe anyone else."
I was watching an episode of the '70s comedy 'Taxi' last night when one of the drivers quoted this as one of the things his father used to say to him. When it was pointed out that George Bernard Shaw said it, it prompted one of the other drivers to ask "Your father was George Bernard Shaw?"

It's the SAME for me, Roger. Uh, HossC's threads too are great (for example the one 'bout Hazzard's square).
Thanks for your comments. I'm sure Hazzard Square used to be Roger's favorite thread - he's so fickle
.
I never cared much for the guy on the right. I always thought his acting was a little wooden

Thanks for the extra info.

This picture and the one above are from some show in Georgia where multiple actors from different TV shows came. As you might be able to notice. It's not a Warner Brothers General Lee as it has backup light's, an R/T logo and no CB Antenna.
When you say "not a Warner Brothers General Lee", do you mean not from the show, or do you mean not one of the cars that Warner Bros built in-house (the Veluzats built a lot of cars used in the show)? Either way, many of the early Generals had backup lights. I have a screengrab of a General with an R/T badge on the grill, but can't remember whether I ever saw one on the back. The lack of CB antenna and license plate would suggest it's not from the show.

But i can not remember the dukes having a bathroom, I remember they have a big tin bath bucket, I do not know the correct word for it
I'd probably just call it a tin bath.
I remember the big tin bath bucket... but I also rememebr a bathroom with a bathtube. Or, at least, I remember Daisy complaining about Bo's hair in the bathtube (in "Officer Daisy Duke"?). I'm goin' to check... tomorrow... now gotta go to bed, LOL.In 'Officer Daisy Duke', Bo and Luke are arguing in the kitchen when Luke says "Another thing, the bathtub ring is disgusting. And them blond hairs of yours in the drain don't do one thing...". A drain would suggest a bathroom.

I don't really understand this picture. It's easy to see that this is after 1985 as they look much older, also the building behind them seems to be Hazzard Bank but it says something totally different on the window.
It's from the Reunion movie. The bank became Mama Max's Development Corporation, and the text on the window says "Real Estate". See the 2nd, 3rd and 4th pictures in this post from the Hazzard Square thread.

Not everyone is Jeff Gordon.
Are you sure about that?
-
But Daisy's Song was a Georgia episode meaning it wasn't filmed at the Warner Brothers backlot, which is where the Behind the scenes picture was taken. Also you can easily see the behind the scenes picture has been taken much later as the cast looks older and the "Axtell Bail Bonds" has been replaced by "Hogg Bail Bonds".
The picture you posted was behind the scenes of 'Dukescam Scam' in season 4. I used a similar picture (minus the sunglasses
) in the Hazzard Square thread.

... today only reinforced my feelings as we saw more commercials than racing on TNT...
I have to admit that I only had half an eye on most of the race because it clashed with the Montreal Grand Prix, but it did feel like there were more commercial breaks than previous races. There were exactly the same number of commercial breaks during the grand prix as usual - none!
I was disappointed that Ricky seemed to lose about five places at each of the final cautions, but he did manage to beat (or should I say pass
) his girlfriend with about two laps to go.
