I was flicking through 'Coy vs. Vance' the other day when I remembered to do some screengrabs of the Baxley Sisters' van. Here's my version of the sign on the side. It looks like the motorbikes were done by the same person who did them on the Carnival of Thrills poster - they're similar, but not the same (that would make things too easy ). The color choices seems a bit strange; blue and green used to be a frowned upon combination and the red and blue stripes are much darker than the red and blue in the logo.

He can always pop over to the Irish Boar's Nest. Pubs here are shut tomorrow (Good Friday), but it's the only day other than Christmas day that they shut. Most will open as usual on Sunday. Happy Birthday for Sunday, John.

The Official Dukes of Hazzard Trivia Thread
HossC replied to Meadowmufn's topic in Dukes of Hazzard Trivia
Well, it's definitely not E) . -
Whoever it was that said computers would make our lives easier had obviously never used one before
. I hope the XP disk works out for you. It would be great if you were up and running by the weekend. -
The Chip Away could be a BIOS virus which you might be able to cure with by flashing the BIOS from a floppy. It might also be a warning that you were trying to alter the MBR if it occurred when you were upgrading to 98 SE. I hope yo find some sort of solution soon.
Sorry about your landlady's dog

Well done Val. I hope you get a chance to drop by again soon.

After watching the clip on YouTube I went back to my DVDs for a better quality look. The DVDs also help to give context in a longer version of the scene. Watch carefully just after Diane kisses Bo before the race - she reaches to her back pocket to pull the object out. She does this because the object is the gun used to start the race: The other reason I'm sure it's not a mic is that the boom mic they used is visible in the center at the bottom of the screen. You can see it moving from side to side depending on who's talking. If anyone else has a suspected blooper involving female guest stars butts, let me know .

That's good news, and SE is much better than FE. Who'd've thought it would stlll be useful nearly 14 years after it came out
. I hope you're up and running soon. -
Have you tried booting in safe mode or is it dead?. It will force the computer to use the basic drivers, but you may be able to work from there.
Is the computer without enough room for XP a desktop or laptop - if it's a desktop you could probably get a bigger HDD pretty cheaply if you have a computer exchange near you. You can get used 80Gb drives on Ebay for as little as $10 - that should be big enough for XP.
-
That's computers for you
. When I moved house a few years ago my computer worked fine for a while before the HDD failed. I'd just about managed to reload everything (without an internet connection at that time) when the power supply failed. I replaced that too but it was never right after that. -
Been there, done that .

Roger spotted it last week. I posted a couple of pictures of the car in this thread.

I thought I'd have a go at Cooter's van from 'Uncle Boss' (the one he uses to hide Hughie's VW). As far as I can tell it's a Flxible Southern body on an unknown chassis (see this post for more pictures). I started off with just the rear panel before convincing myself to do the whole side view. I may add front and back views at a later date. I wonder if they even painted the other side because it's never seen on screen. The eagle-eyed amongst you may spot that I've just modified the wheels from the tow truck - we don't get a particularly clear look at the wheels, so I figured these were close enough. I spotted this picture online during the week. It looks like Cooter's repair standards are really slipping - just look what he's done to Uncle Jesse's pickup . Believe it or not I've discovered that this picture was taken on Burbank Blvd, only about one and a half miles from WB's studios.

Google have announced plans to enter NASCAR with a driverless team that uses autonomous cars. You can read the details here. (Just remember today's date before y'all get too excited )

Here's another four cars to finish off season 4. The first, this black and white 1977 Dodge Monaco, appears in 'New Deputy in Town'. It has the squarer style lightbar, but otherwise the exterior looks pretty stock. The badge on the door says 'Police Department City of Roseville'. The exterior may be stock, but Bo, Luke and Cooter want to discover what's under the hood. The end of 'New Deputy in Town' sees a brief appearance of the US Marshal in a 1977 Chevy Nova. Since 'Trouble at Cooter's' it looks like the costume department has learnt to spell, but not the sign-writers (see insets). This is now the third US Marshal car to appear, and they've all had completely different liveries. Riverton County's entry in the 'Miss Tri-Counties' race is this 1977 Plymouth Fury. It looks like a Hazzard patrol car with a race number on the hood and the lightbar removed. The inset shows a close-up of the Riverton Sheriff badge from the door, which is very similar to the Hazzard one. If y'all watch the race carefully you'll see that the car that leaves the road is actually a Dodge Monaco (split grille visible) and the '34' on the hood is bolder. The story of 'Dukes in Danger' revolves around a pair of escaped convicts. This is the car that was carrying them just before the crash that allowed their escape. It's a plain gray 1975 Ford LTD station wagon with 'State Penitentiary' written on the door in simple black text. For those of you that remember the episode, Rosco is actually driving backwards in this picture in an attempt to catch Bo and Luke (he ends up in a tree and has to be pulled out by General Lee!).

Here's three pictures of Robin Mattson. I posted the first one in 'The Official Dukes of Hazzard Trivia Thread' last year for people to guess who it was. It's from her first movie, 'Namu, the Killer Whale' in 1966. The middle picture is from 'Carnival of Thrills'. I'm not sure exactly when the last one is from, but it's much more recent.

Welcome to HazzardNet. It looks like you're gonna fit in perfectly around here.

I hadn't noticed the flag. After a bit internet searching I found that the 1/16 model seems to have two different box designs. I'm guessing that the one on the left is the original and the one on the right is the more politically correct current version. They even used a different shot of Bo and Luke to avaoid showing the flag: As Capt. suspected, it looks like the model has just been photographed so that the flag isn't shown. As you can see from this 1/25 model, the flag is definitely part of the decals:

Dang you guys and your good memories. I must be getting old because ... what was I saying?. CD is right, the line is spoken by Jesse in 'Daisy's Song'. He says to Daisy, "I was just telling the boys you've got to make sure that everybody is out of that pressing plant before they blow it up.", followed by the lne below:

Well remembered MaryAnne. Like most of these questions, I can remember the quote, but not the episode. I've just checked the DVD and in the scene where they're welding the spikes it's actually Waylon that says the line, not Jesse, although that doesn't mean Jesse didn't say it at another time: The end of the line is, "which sometimes calls for a little country ingenuity".
