Here's a pair of 1973 Ford Torinos from 'Carnival of Thrills'. I've only done side views because a) there's not much to see in other views, and they're so much quicker . The top one is the 'Leap for Life' car. This was the first car to have an unfortunate accident when it was being driven by Bob Dexter. The bottom one is one of the standard 'Carnival of Thrills' stunt cars. Various cars were used for the stunts, but seeing as one of them was a Torino, that's the one I decided to do. This screengrab shows the small part of the flame graphics that make it onto the hood of the 'Leap for Life' car. There's another 'Leap for Life' Torino just visible on the far right of the picture. I find it strange that these cars still have all their glass and trim considering they're going to be jumped.

I actually did a small version of the welcome sign for the profile picture on the Facebook page recently. That was inspired by a screengrab posted by MaryAnne in this thread. I made the word "HAZZARD" slightly bolder on that because of the size. Here's a larger, more accurate version: I found another appearance of the sign in 'Daisy's Song', but again we don't see it particularly closely. I think there's a good chance it was the same sign in a different location.

It was before I joined, but a quick forum search yielded the name Nash.

Time to get funky (Live)

If you can't use the original wheels and you plan to jump it into the water, then how about this?

From the album 'Astronauts and Heretics': This album spent a lot of time in my CD player when it came out 20 years ago, and it's still good today.

I saw it a couple of weeks ago. The same group also did a minivan with the seats at the back that could do wheelies.

Monday's Facebook picture of Ace's used car lot reminded me how clean my original version of the sign was. Ace's cars may have been clean, but his sign wasn't. Here's an updated version with more realistic colors. I replaced the larger text with more accurate outlines instead of using the closest match font. While I was reorganizing my artwork folder I realized I'd done another couple of signs that I'd never posted. First is the banner from the Drag 'n Fly contest in 'Goodbye, General Lee'. And here's three of the logos that appear on the race suits.

With the limited number of parts you can salvage, how about something like one of these?:

I made my own Persona for Firefox, although I haven't uploaded it anywhere. It just has the General leaping through header. You can tell by the HNet banner and Firefox interface that this screengrab is now a couple of years old .

I thought I'd revive this thread after I saw the sad news that Andy Griffith had died earlier. I posted links to the episodes of 'The Andy Griffith Show' with Jimmie some time ago, but I didn't get around looking out the ones with Denver. He starred in six episodes between 1963 and 1966, including the one that TXZ045 has already mentioned. He played Briscoe Darling, head of the Darling family (the boys were played by The Dillards) who mainly lived up in the mountains. They were like a cross between The Beverly Hillbillies (which ran around the same time) and the Beaudrys. NB. All but the last one are black and white. The Andy Griffith Show (S3E25) - The Darlings Are Coming The Andy Griffith Show (S3E31) - Mountain Wedding The Andy Griffith Show (S4E25) - Divorce, Mountain Style (Not currently on YouTube) The Andy Griffith Show (S7E06) - The Darling Fortune (Not currently on YouTube) Denver looks very different without his beard - here he is in 'Briscoe Declares for Aunt Bee': Even in color I'm not sure I'd immediately recognize him - well not until he started speaking anyway .

Well done Tim .

Are you sure . I'm surprised there are still cheap cars around after the scrappage scheme took so many off the road. In case you haven't checked, you'll be looking at €333/year for road tax on a 1300cc engine. Thanks to changes last year you'll also have to get an NCT (safety check) every year on a car over 10 years old.

There's an explanation from MaryAnne here.

I had to get another one when I started because I used Hotmail. Now I use the new one for HNet stuff, although you can just set up another one for registration and get it to forward any mail to your Hotmail or other email account.

I know you can't sign up with any Hotmail address. I don't know if they've added to the list since I signed up

It logged in automatically for me tonight, albeit after a short delay. When it has made me log in it works with my usual HNet username/password.

'Play It Again, Luke' from season 6.

I thought it was time for a cheesy '80s power ballad : Total Eclipse of the Heart - Bonnie Tyler

I've spotted a couple of WB locations this weekend over on Failblog. Both have been seen previously in grabs I've posted from 'The Dukes in Hollywood' etc. The first is from LMFAO's 'Party Rock Anthem', although someone's replaced the original song with the Cantina Band music from Star Wars in this short clip: . is approaching half a billion views in YouTube! The video was filmed on Hennesy Street. Here's a reminder of how it looked in 'The Dukes in Hollywood'. The second is a picture of a Batmobile golf cart. None of the commenters have yet realized that this was taken on Brownstone Street on Warner's backlot. The building at the end is part of New York Street. Here's how in looked in 'The Dukes in Hollywood'.

The address you give is the entrance to the Lyons Ranch , also known as Valencia Oaks Movie Ranch. CDoherty has a thread about it here.

I've only seen it once, but I'm going to guess that that's the one set in Ireland, so I'll go with E) People (after the 1959 movie 'Darby O'Gill and the Little People').

I can't get them to show either, and I'm not sure why. The code is hidden in the post, I've converted the pictures to links:

Here you go Roger - it's model #AMM964: 1969 Dodge Charger "General Lee" (Improved) To borrow from that link, the "improvements" are: 1) Improved placement and look of roof graphics. 2) Improved placement and look of door graphics. 3) Improved finish applied to Vector wheels. 4) Removed Charger & R/T emblems in grille. 5) Removed R/T emblem from taillight panel. 6) Removed Charger emblem from c-pillars. 7) Removed front and rear side marker lights. 8) Removed chrome wheel opening moldings. 9) Removed headrests. 10) Removed spare tire and jack. 11) Removed cruise control equipment under the hood. 12) 383 engine (not 426 or 440 as in past releases). 13) Removed padding/insulation detail from underside of hood. 14) Longer antenna made of a thinner material to better replicate the "whip" antenna. 15) Added primer to chassis with gloss black Mopar overspray. Idea is to hint at the General Lee's origins as a black 1969 Dodge Charger as seen in the Dukes of Hazzard "Happy Birthday General Lee" episode. Here's an Ebay search: Ebay search for Autoworld General Lee They're currently going for about $65 + P&P. I'm not sure if this is a limited release; the Ertl Authentics was limited to 5000 (I think) so they were trading for several times their original price before this one came out.
