    Shame you had to miss the race Garrett, you didn't get to see the bright pink pace car - are they trying to expand the viewing demographic?. I got to see pretty much the whole race - I missed half of the first lap, and used to red flag period to cook dinner . Jeff Gordon had a fast car all day and often had at least a two second lead, but during the first half of the race his car was not good on long runs. His early pit stops were good, and whatever he lost to drivers taking fewer tires, he made up quickly. At one of the pit stops his pit crew asked how the car was, and he replied "really good everywhere". Not too many crashes this week. Bobby Labonte crashed twice, the second time quite hard. Clint Bowyer cut across JPM on lap 241 and ended up against the wall. I know JPM and controversy aren't normally far apart, but I didn't see what he did wrong this time. Bowyer didn't see it that way!. Gordon had a fairly anonymous middle part of the race, but the adjustments made earlier started to pay off towards the end, giving him better long run speed. He managed to get past Jimmie Johnson and started to pull out a lead. Then Gordon got a vibration, but managed to stay out one lap longer than Johnson. He was looking good for the next 20 or so laps, but then his tires started to go off. Luckily (for him) the same happened to Johnson as soon as he caught up. The last laps were very exciting - at times it looked more like a drifting competition than a NASCAR race with both Gordon and Johnson getting sideways. The post-race round-up celebrating Gordon's 85 wins seemed to feature a lot of pictures of his old, mustached look .

    Here's a couple more from season 1. In 'Limo One is Missing' the brief scene when the General pulls over (just before the motorcyle cops jump into the lake) has been mirrored. Near the start of 'Deputy Dukes', Cindy Lou and Maybelle steal all of Bo and Luke's clothes. The girls can be seen carrying their pants, and the boys clearly have bare legs when they climb into the General. However, when we see them a couple of minutes later, just before they run into Rosco, they (or at least the two guys in the car) are both wearing jeans.

    Hi there. I started another project, but after many hours of work my computer decided it wouldn't open the file or the back up :(. I restarted it, but have so far only got about a week into it. That's why I did the season 1 truck sign instead. I'll have another look at your pics sometime - I'm not going to attempt whole vehicles from the artwork you supplied - most are stock logos, so would the logos on the correct colored background be ok? (I have no idea what's involved in modding vehicles in games).

    I think Lizzy's probably right, but I'll say c) Daisy for variation.

    I know about that stuff, I've been exploited all my life. We're goin' up north to put the word to the streets. You, on the motorcycle! ... you two girls, tell your friends. Free parking. 2 dollar cover charge only folks. That's a lot of entertainment for two dollars ... and October 1st is ladies' night at the HazzardNet chatroom.

    Well done Redneck Girl, and thanks for your recent review of the Hazzard Homecoming. I can see the news that you're Fan of the Month has left you smiling from ear to ear .

    I always knew the questions would get harder for me . Star and Moon sound to 'showbiz', and I'm inclined to agree with Brian and BL - Meadows sounds the most plausible, and it rings a bell somewhere - just don't know if it's the right bell!.

    Everyone seemed to know it was 'Undercover Dukes', points to all. Now an announcement: This will be my last question for a while. I have been posing questions for just over a year now and have had great fun doing so. On the downside, I can't remember the last time I sat down and watched an episode from start to finish without pausing it to take a screengrab or make a note of something that could be a question. Roger has kindly agreed to step in and ask questions while I'm on my sabbatical - it will give me a chance to show my ignorance . Thanks to all who've played during my tenure of this thread. I thought the following picture was appropriate for the situation. Q. Which episode from season 1 is this picture from?:

    spade According to Wikipedia: "Bucket and spade sets are traditional British seaside paraphernalia that can be bought cheaply from any beachside vendor." Now all I need is a beach, a stick of rock and a donkey ride .

    So long as you can still differentiate your elbow for certain other parts of your body you should be OK .

    Sorry Roger, everyone got the last question, so I thought I throw in a harder one. I'd have been surprised if anyone knew it - I just wanted some lucky guesses. The answer was D) July 12 1979. Q. Hal Smith, who played Henry Flatt, did a good job of staying out of Boss's way, but reappeared as Pop Durham in season 6. Which episode in season 6 did he appear?.

    Nice work CD. I see you even found a Maudine the mule lookalike on your travels . I'm sure you're probably a good Catholic boy who's pledged not to touch that some of stuff until you're legally allowed at 18 .

    Boy CD, you've got a good memory. The tunnel is seen about 7 minutes in, just after Bo and Luke get the Bugs Bunny doll. I would have thought that they had used the same tunnel as the one in 'Witness for the Persecution' (I'd guess that the piece of road they're on immediatley before the tunnel is somewhere west of Santa Clarita), but it looks like you're right - it is the tunnel in Griffith Park. The scene in 'Diamonds in the Rough' is virtually an exact copy of the scene from 'Witness for the Persecution': General Lee enters tunnel: Truck enters at the other end: General Lee makes it past the truck, through the tunnel, and out the other end: Bad guys have to reverse out the way they came in: If you look at the picture in the post above you'll see a couple of small changes: 1) There appears to be a faded white sign over the entrance. 2) There are yellow lines painted on the road. 3) The gates open outwards instead of inwards.

    One Word Song Titles

    HossC replied to HossC's topic in Music

    Same title, very different song. Squeeze come from just down the road from where I worked in London.

    Everyone's right - 'A' is Mary Jo Catlett aka. Cousin Alice. She appears in two or three episodes and even gets to wear a Hawaiian shirt - can't see Cousin Alice doing that. Since then I've also seen the M*A*S*H episodes with Rick Hurst and Bernard Fox (Iggins from 'Southern Comfurts') in. Q. In 'RIP Henry Flatt', what date did Henry Flatt die (according to his headstone)?: A) April 12 1979 May 12 1979 C) June 12 1979 D) July 12 1979 E) August 12 1979
