They're kind of like the Raliegh Choppers. I don't know if they're big over the pond but in Ireland and England they're few and far between.
Sorry to interupt your thread with sad news, but did you see that Alan Oakley, the man who designed the Chopper, passed away last Friday. His wife confirmed the now-legendary story that her husband drew the design for the Chopper on an envelope as he travelled home from the USA, in 1967. The full story is here. It looks like Raleigh made a limited edition Mk 3 version in 2004, but moved the gear change and modified the seat - doesn't look nearly as much fun as the originals.

You get a good close-up of one of the Shelby wheels in 'Repo Men' - I think it's outside Ace's car lot. Looks like they're using Summit tires.

This sounds like an odd thing for someone in Ireland to be worrying about - must be because you're in a city. Are they really going to be checking IDs? Maybe the venue has had trouble before, or there's an insurance issue.
According to the law it's ok for children aged between 15-17 years to remain on the premises after 9pm (10pm May to September) where they are attending a private function at which a substantial meal is served. You can check it out on www.citizensinformation.ie. Do you get a meal? There wasn't anything equivalent to the debs or a prom in the UK - probably just as well because I went to an all boys school
. Maybe you could get an over 18 friend to enquire about the venue's policy without mentioning your name.A few years ago I saw a group waiting for the bus that was taking them to their debs. Most of the girls looked quite grown-up in posh dresses (a few had strange fashion ideas), whereas most of the boys looked like fourteen-year-olds who'd been made to have a bath and put a suit on. It's amazing how much the age gap shows at these events.

How about a bit of soul?:
This 1967 classic is by Aretha's older sister.
Garrett Duke said:"Achy Breaky Heart" Billy Ray CyrusYou can torture me
With Donnie & Marie
You can play some Barry Manilow
Or you can play some schlock
Like New Kids On The Block
Or any Village People song you know
Or play Vanilla Ice
Hey, you can play him twice
And you can play the Bee Gees any day
But Mr. DJ, please
I'm beggin' on my knees
I just can't take no more of Billy Ray
Don't play that song
That "Achy Breaky" song
The most annoying song I know
And if you play that song
That "Achy Breaky" song
I might blow up my radio, ooo...

You can see Lee01383's wheels here.
If they don't have center caps, one easy way to tell the American Racing wheels is that they should have "American Racing Equipment" stamped on the back:
If you don't find this stamp it doesn't necessarily mean you have Shelby wheels; there were other manufacturers that made this style. I found a set of Rocket Vector wheels on Ebay when I looked earlier.

I think this is another of Garrett's favorite groups

Hi Zrad, welcome to HNet

I spotted this knife in 'Too Many Roscos'. It's from the scene where Bo and Luke are tied up in the same shack as Rosco (although they haven't discovered him at this point). The main part of the handle is bone colored, so it may be the same as the one Sissy saw in 'Miz Tisdale on the Lam' (see above). The handle also features a fancy gold portion nearest the blade:
I'll have to leave the identification of his one to you guys. Everyone here doesn't own a knife (unless they live in Limerick - joke for Irish readers there
), so I have no personal experience. -
I keep adding pictures to my "unknown" folder, so it's great when I can pull a couple out and cross them off the list. I was actually trying to find a completely different location when I found this one. The pictures are from near the end of 'Hazzard Connection'. Most of the action takes place on either Carlisle Road or Potrero Road near Lake Sherwood. For some reason this very short scene was filmed nowhere near there. A few posts back I posted some pictures from Placerita Canyon Road. If I'd only kept following it I'd have found this place earlier. It's right at the end at the intersection with Sand Canyon Road. The houses in the background are still there, but they're now hidden by trees.
Here's the view from a different angle with Placerita Canyon Road on the right. Click here to see how it looks today.
If you zoom out of Street View and go about half a mile south from this intersection you come to Sable Ranch where the obstacle course from the game show 'Wipeout' is located. You'll have to zoom right in and have the 45 degree view turned on to see it properly, otherwise you'll just see unfinished blue shapes in a field.

What I think MAY work well would be to take the exisiting original cast and give them small, tiny even itty bitty parts,
David Soul and Paul Michael Glaser had cameos in the 2004 Starsky and Hutch movie, as did Dwight Schultz and Dirk Benedict in the 2010 A-Team movie, so there is a precedent for the original stars to appear in remakes. Having said that, it would need to be much better script than the last two Dukes movies to entice any of our favorites back (just my opinion, obviously).

As I said, I don't have any factual facts to back up what I said ...
I love the idea that there's another kind of facts

By the way, did you know Sunday was Garrett's birthday?
I did. It's a shame Jeff Gordon didn't though - I think a win was the birthday present Garrett was looking for

You can have my two cents Roger. I read a few forums on this subject last night, and I believe there are a number of factors. The fact that she's a rookie may have had an influence on NASCAR's decision, although I don't see it as an excuse for her behavior. Her being a girl (they call female drivers in lower formulae 'lady racers' over here) is probably an indirect influence: NASCAR want viewers, and are probably banking on Danica bringing some new viewers with her. Suspending her would risk losing these new viewers, even if some of them are only watching because, to quote you, "she's a she".
I find Danica's behavior the other night to be at odds with what I've seen before. I haven't seen any of the IndyCar series this year, but I've seen quite a few races from the previous two seasons, and I don't remember her doing anything like this. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.
-
Unfortunately, the uploader of that video didn't want anyone from my region to see it
. I found HD footage of the crash
. I've seen some of the male drivers behave like that; Danica obviously figures that to succeed, she has to be that stupid too. I don't mind a bit of nudging, it adds to the sport, but dangerous behavior like that should get an automatic suspension. If she'd tried it on the road she'd probably be in jail. -
You're right Garrett, it does have a good message.
How about some mellow reggae?

I first heard this song back in the '80s when the BBC used it for the Mystery Personality round in their sports quiz 'A Question of Sport'. The show's still going, but they no longer use this great tune.

I wanted to find that episode of Glee. Which one was it? What was the name and when did it air?
It's not my sort of thing, but according to IMDb the episode was called 'Hold on to Sixteen'. It's episode 8 of season 3, and originally aired on the 6th of December 2011.

Sorry Roger, I can't remember the answer to your question, but I have a related aside. Back in 1983 I had a Pac-Man watch which had Dixie as its alarm tune. How cool was that? Not only could I play Pac-Man on my watch, but it also had the General Lee's horn as an alarm. I wish I'd kept it - they go for a fortune on Ebay.
When I did a quick Google search to confirm my memory of the alarm was correct I found that a similar watch can be heard on some versions of 'Rock the Casbah' by The Clash - click
and listen at about 1:52. I can't hear it on the version used with the released video, but it does feature a convertible white 1970s Cadillac (a '75/'76 I think) with horns on the hood, and the director of photography was John Hazard - you can see that one.I think that's enough tenuous Dukes links for one post

I've just been flicking through 'Find Loretta Lynn' and given the number of bloopers I spotted, I think 'Find the Continuity Person' would've been a better title.
I'll start with the scene at the Boar's Nest where Rosco and Enos's cars are chained together. In the close-ups the chains are clearly tied around the bumpers of each car, but in the long shot the chain seems to go around the front axle of Enos's car without touching the bumper.
Then when the cars pull apart the chain is back on the bumpers, pulling the back off of Rosco's car and the front off of Enos's. That's how they appear for most of the rest of the episode, except for a couple of scenes when someone forgot. The lower left picture is when Rosco and Enos are following Jesse and Daisy (who's dressed as Loretta), while the lower right shows the cars when they hit the back of Jesse's truck. Both show that the two cars are complete, even though they were shown with their panels missing between these two shots.
When Rosco and Enos descend the tree from where they've been spying on the Duke Farm, Rosco gets his belt caught on the way down (see inset). As Enos tries to help, Rosco swings about two feet to the left on a suspending cable (arrowed) - it's easier to see when moving.
Finally there are continuity errors at the beginning and end of the concluding chase. As Bo and Luke leave the stockyards they are on a light dusty surface, but the close-up of the General's wheel spinning shows grass and leaves on the ground. Then at the end Luke gets Bubba to pull off to the side of a two-lane road, which changes to a dirt track in a grassy area when Bubba makes a run for it.
