It happens to F1 drivers too. Last year Lewis Hamilton was fined $500 (Aus)for spinning his wheels and smoking his tires as he left the Australian GP. Back in 2000 Jenson Button was caught doing 230kph (144mph) through France in his BMW. At the time he was only 20 years old and restricted to diesel powered cars. I heard a rumor at the time that BMW paid his fine because of the great publicity for their diesel cars - don't know if there's any truth to the rumor. In 2003 Juan Pablo Montoya (then an F1 driver) was also caught in France, this time doing 200kph (125mph). He was less repentant, saying: “Who doesn’t go at 200 clicks on those motorways? I tell you, that car does 240kph no problem. I was taking it easy.â€. He then paid the fine in cash and got his wife to drive the rest of the way.

I'll finish season 4 with this selection. In 'Share and Share Alike' Lulu decides that she should get a share in all of Boss's businesses. Here's her addition to the bank signage. Lulu also leaves her mark on Boss's Funeral Home. I've mentioned the Funeral Home before, but never been able to get a good view of the sign. It's building #30. I got this picture before Lulu's sign painter had a chance to change the sign. Boss took the patrol car to his own car lot instead of Cooter's so he could hide the stolen credit cards in the door without being seen. This is building #25 (recently seen as the Impound Yard), which is actually visible from Cooter's. I'm quite tempted by the red Mustang at $650, but I probably wouldn't buy a car from Boss. In 'The Law and Jesse Duke' the Jones Gang rob Jake Sumner's Photo Shop. This is building #28, which was previously seen as Pruitt's Printing in 'Mrs. Daisy Hogg'. The Jones's also robbed Otis Plunkett's TV store, but we don't get to see it in this episode. Watch this space, because he does get a store later on.

The Official Dukes of Hazzard Trivia Thread
HossC replied to Meadowmufn's topic in Dukes of Hazzard Trivia
I like a good spread of answers, but in this case there's only one winner, and that's ... Lizzy. It's nice to know that two of you thought the 'quack remedy' was British - I won't take it personally . Here's a grab of the sign in question (new question below): Q. In 'The Law and Jesse Duke' Boss enlists the help of the Jones Gang led by Alabama Jones, but what characteristic is shared by Simon and Floyd Jones?: A) Bald heads Beards C) Glasses D) Moustaches E) Mullets- 3,820 replies

In an effort to stay one step ahead of Sheriff Little, Bo and Luke drop Daisy off and then drive around the streets of Chickasaw. This was filmed in New York Street, around the point marked 'B' on the New York Street map. Notice that the old Chevy pickup on the left and the yellow pickup behind the General (both with hay bales) were also parked near the dry cleaners two pictures back. I guess they drive just as quickly in Chickasaw as they do in Hazzard!. The General (and Sheriff Little) drive down this street on the way back to collect Daisy. I think the two houses in the background are the ones next to Boss's house. I had to wait until Daisy left the Chickasaw DMV to get a good shot. It's in building #29 on French Street. As the Dukes leave Chickasaw we get to see 'Moreton's Hardware'. There was a blurry, unreadable store between this and the DMV, which would make this building #27 (assuming I've allowed enough stores in French Street). I wonder whether some of these stores down French Street were used in other shows or created especially for Dukes. I also wonder whether the left window is reflecting the film crew. There definitely seems to be the reflection of a spotlight on the right of the door.

In 'Nothing but the Truth' Uncle Jesse sends Bo and Luke into town to buy some groceries (including brown sugar). With Rhuebottom's shut they go to 'Martin's Emporium'. Regular readers of this thread will recognise it as building #17 (aka the back of the church). The fencing and trees from a few episodes back are still visible in the background. An episode later in 'Dear Diary' Rhuebottom's is back in business (Daisy goes there to get the new diary). Mr. Rhuebottom and his van appeared a few episodes earlier in 'Pin the Tail on the Dukes', but the store in the background still appeared to be closed. The next six pictures are all from 'Miss Tri-Counties'. I'm limited to four pictures per post, so I'll split them into the next. To try to stop Daisy winning Miss Tri-Counties, Boss prevents her from renewing her license at the DMV in Hazzard, so a quick journey to Chickasaw is required. Most of Chickasaw is actually filmed in French Street (behind the County Building). As the General enters Chickasaw it passes buildings 1, 2 and 3 from Hazzard Square, but redressed with new signage. Building #1 is now a dry cleaners, and I think the sign on the left says 'Printing'. All I can see for building #2 is that it has a sale on. The building visible on the right in the previous picture is shown here. Building #30, which was previously 'J.D. Hogg's Funeral Home', is now a hotel.

In 'Miss Tri-Counties' Daisy is forced to visit the DMV to renew her license. The guy giving the test clearly asks her to read the third line on the eye chart, but the line she reads doesn't seem to appear on the chart (it's difficult to hear what she says, but I've included the subtitles in the screengrab).

In 'The Sound of Music - Hazzard Style' the impound yard moves yet again (although the main sign looks the same as the one in 'The Hack of Hazzard'). This time it occupies building #25, previously seen as a used car lot. I wonder if the blue car in the garage is the same Camaro that was in the impound yard in 'The Hack of Hazzard'?. Looking in the opposite direction we see Boss standing outside building #30. I couldn't get a clear shot of the sign, but it's the 'J.D. Hogg Funeral Home' (as advertised on the back of Miz Tisdale's cab). In the top left of the picture you can just see building #2 (still the 'Hazzard County Gazette') and the corner of the bank. As Luke swings from the bank in 'Pin the Tail on the Dukes' you can see that Gordon & Lowell are sharing their offices with 'First Trust Co.'. This is the inside of Billy Joe Fong's 'CB & Radio' store that was mentioned a few posts back. It's situated in building #5, and surprisingly we get to see the view out of the window. This consists of the back of either building 7, 8 or 9. I don't think Bo and Luke would have raced so quickly around the bend if that big metal fence had been there more often. The picture is from 'Miz Tisdale on the Lam'. I love the early '80s electronics he has for sale.

The Official Dukes of Hazzard Trivia Thread
HossC replied to Meadowmufn's topic in Dukes of Hazzard Trivia
You should have gone with your birthday Roger. Unbelievably, the ice cream parlor boasts 51 flavors (that's 20 more than Baskin Robbins). Belated birthday wishes to you Roger - you don't list your birthday, so I didn't know I'd missed it . Today the US President made an historic visit to Ireland. Sadly, I was working, and had to make do with watching it on TV. I'm pleased to report that Limo One didn't go missing, although it did get stuck. You can see the video here if you haven't seen it already. You can't blame Irish roads because it was just leaving the US embassy, so was technically still on US soil at the time . He later got a big cheer for saying "Is féidir linn" - "Yes we can" in Irish. I couldn't think of an original question from 'Limo One is Missing' so I have a more general one. Q. In many episodes there is a sign visible on a wall in Hazzard Square advertising 'St. Jacobs Oil'. Which country does this remedy claim to be from?. Is it: A) American British C) Dutch D) French E) German- 3,820 replies

I don't remember it, but I'll keep a lookout. I'll start this post with a view of the side of building #21. Cooter's is just off the picture to the right. In 'Dukescam Scam' Boss drives off to hide in this truck. Behind it are buildings 4, 5 and 6. Buildings 4 and 5 have interiors which get used occasionally, but it is clear from this shot that building #6 is just a façade with nothing behind it (like O'Connor Paint Supply across the square). Daisy and Cooter look for Emery Potter at his house only to find he has 'Gone Fishing'. Emery's door is on the side of the house opposite Boss's house. I don't know why I've waited this long to post a picture of the sign outside the County Building, but here it is. I think it changes slightly between seasons, but haven't been keeping track. I think Roger knows the names that change.

Thanks MaryAnne. I'd forgotten that Billy Joe Fong (played by James Hong) actually appears in 'Miz Tisdale on the Lam'. From the inside you can only see 'SALES' and an 'E' at the end of the second word, so I'm guessing 'Sales & Service'. I'll post a picture in a couple of days time when I get to that episode. I managed to get a better picture of the 'Hazzard Picture Palace' in 'Cletus Falls in Love'. It wasn't easy, because many of the intervening episodes show the old 'Hazzard Theater' sign. The next picture isn't strictly of Hazzard Square, but of what it could have looked like if Boss had got to knock down Cooter's and build his 'Hogg's Happy Hacienda' (or Hoggominiums). The picture identifies the address as 100 Hazzard Square. I'm sure it would have been easier to knock down the adjacent Rhuebottom's, which was vacant and Boss had the lease. Ironically, in the present day Midwest Street, both of these buildings have been knocked down and replaced with houses (the majority of the other buildings are still standing and recognizable). The picture is from 'Hughie Hogg Strikes Again'. The following picture took me by surprise as I have no memory of noticing it before. Also from 'Hughie Hogg Strikes Again', the 'J.D. Hogg Produce Co.' suddenly appears at the end of Hazzard Square with a fence and trees between building #13 and the church. The General must have been roughly outside 'Seth M. Berley & Co.' when this picture was taken. On the other side of the convenienty placed ramp is a 'Wholesale Fresh Produce' business with more trees and fences around the outside. Under all the fruit is the loading dock (building #17) which has been transformed from the Railroad Depot in the previous episode.

Brad Paisley wrote this song especially for William Shatner. It's from the great 2004 album 'Has Been'. I originally bought it for cover of with backing vocals by Joe Jackson (the is by British band Pulp), but I really like this song too. The album was produced and arranged by Ben Folds.

Thanks CD. The same buildings are used again as the back of Cooter's in 'Hughie Hogg Strikes Again'. It's strange how some episodes don't yield any new businesses and other have many. I'm leaving aside the fact that season 4 (more than the first three) was obviously filmed in a completely different order to way it was transmitted, because many stores come and go regularly. I won't bother commenting on many of these changes. In 'Cletus Falls in Love', Cletus buys candy from the 'Candy Store' (where else?). This is located in building #11 which has always been the Hazzard County Post Office up until now. Around the corner in building #5 a CB & radio shop has replaced the short-lived tailor shop. I can't read the whole name, it's definitely 'Billy Joe ????'s'. Hopefully it will hang around long enough to get another look. The painting of building #6 also seems to be complete and Victors Bail Bonds is no more. The hardware store also gets replaced in this episode. The 'Hazzard Square Bakery' seems to have been added for the comedy potential of someone crossing the street with a tray of pies. I seem to remember Rosco crashing into the same pie truck sometime in season 3, but the name of the episode escapes me - I'm sure someone will help me out here. The loading dock behind the church gets another transformation. This time it's the 'Hazzard County Railroad Depot'. I've had to inset the sign because we don't get a long view. Some foliage seems to have been added off to the left of this picture to disguise the houses behind.

Well done Lizzy and Roger. It'll probably pay you to keep an eye on the Hazzard Square thread as it's giving me some ideas for questions . Q. How many flavors of ice cream are available from the 'Ice Cream Parlor' in the drug store?. A) 21 31 C) 41 D) 51 E) 61- 3,820 replies

Thanks Mufn. That makes perfect sense as it's identified as the boarding house in a later episode. Thanks also to all the people leaving positive feedback - glad y'all are enjoying the thread. In 'Sadie Hogg Day' I finally got a picture of 'Skipper Ward Surplus' that occupies building #1. It's been visible in the background since season 3, but I think this is the first clear look we get. Some time ago Roger started a thread called Real Stuff in Hazzard that listed real life people and places that had made it into the show. I'm guessing this store is named after Skip Ward who was producer/associate producer on 35 episodes. Also in this picture is Miz Tisdale as a deputy. I'm just posting this picture in passing. Bo and Luke knock on the door in '10 Million Dollar Sheriff'. It's the house opposite Boss's house that I've posted a long shot of already. As Boss crosses the road in 'Trouble at Cooter's' we get another look at building #26. What used to be 'City Drug' has now become 'Kelly's Place', although there's no indication of what type of business it is. It is opposite the closed-up Rhuebottom's that plays a big part in this episode. Building #25 is just visible in the background, again selling used cars. For the first time in this episode we get to see the back entrance to Cooter's. I'm not sure where this was filmed, other than it wasn't at the back of Cooter's!.

Nice to see you're making progress, and you even have a little helper . What's the car in the foreground in the last picture?. It looks like an early '70s Dodge Dart.
