Roger and waikiki got the 'Arrest Jesse Duke' question right. Cooter refers to it as the Dixie Auto Parts Store (all captalized on the subtitles), although the store itself has Dixie Auto Supply Inc. over the door.
Q. In 'Officer Daisy Duke' where has Grady Byrd been working for the last 20 years before Boss promotes him to Sheriff?.

The article Roger refers to is here:
Did NASCAR go too far in promoting driver safety?
NASCAR should be even safer than open-wheeled racing such as F1 and Indycar due to extra bodywork protecting the driver, and F1 is now much safer than it used to be. According to Wikipedia the last 2 deaths in F1 were Ayrton Senna and Roland Ratzenberger at the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix (one in practice, one in the race), and the last before that was 1986. Take a look back to the '50s and there were 2 or three deaths a year.
Modern F1 cars have a very strong 'monocoque' driver cell made from carbon fiber and a similar HANS device to that used in NASCAR. This means we still get wheel to wheel racing and some spectacular crashes, but with far less injuries than before. I may have posted this before, but take a look at Mark Webber's crash from last year's Valencia Grand Prix:
He got away with comparatively minor injuries considering the crash.
Compare this to F1 driver Robert Kubica who crashed while doing some pre-season rallying. The safety barrier pierced his footwell causing various injuries including a partially severed hand. The latest news is that 13 days after the accident he is out of intensive care and his hand has been saved, but he will likely miss the whole 2011 season. I don't think we want to go back to a time when this was the norm.
I find the increased reliability of cars can make the races less exciting. Back in the '80s the cars were just delicate mechanical beasts, engineered to the limit. It wasn't unusual to have a leading car develop a fault which slowed them in to the field, only for the fault to fix itself later and create a great ending. Nowadays (at least in F1) everything is so monitored and computer controlled they can use the cars to play tunes:

That stuntman driving Roger's Jag sure doesn't look anything like him.
The other one doesn't look much like Daisy either.

I'm assuming we're talking about Will 'Fresh Prince of Bel-Air' Smith
.Will Smith was in Made In America
Peggy Rea was in Made in America
Peggy Rea was Lulu Hogg

No prizes for guessing which episode this one is from
. I'll have to assume that the originals were all hand done because there are small variations between the ones used. The poster also uses several different typefaces, none of which seem to match typefaces I have, so I had to do them all from scratch!. There is even a significant difference between letters in the same block. Compare the 'N' in ACTION with the 'N' in DANGER for example. I've tried to reproduce all these details as accurately as possible. The only 'cheat' was the picture of Diane at the top which was tweaked from a screengrab.
The following picture was on top of the poster in Boss's office when he thought he'd be acquiring the stunt show. This one is just a screengrab with the background painted out. I thought I'd include it because I'd never noticed the little cartoon Boss:

It's a point to waikiki for this one. Gaylord's "little imported car" was Jaguar XK-E (callled an E Type over here). This one had a 5344cc (326 ci) V12 engine. It's similar to the car driven by Austin Powers, although on his they replaced the 'J' with 'SH' on the trunk badge
:
Jason Dillard drove a Shelby Cobra in 'The Dukes in Hollywood', and although Shelby is American, the car was based on a vehicle made by British car maker AC Cars. The Triumphs and the Austin Healey can be seen around the square in seasons 3 or 4. In 'Baa, Baa White Sheep' Billy the Quill also drove a Triumph, but his was dark green Triumph Spitfire.
Q. In 'Arrest Jesse Duke', what was the name of the car strippers' store?. Bonus points for the names of any of the other companies that Boss had registered it through.

The question of age reminded me of 'Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade'. Steven Spielberg wanted to make a James Bond film so he hired Sean Connery to play Indy's father, despite the fact that Sean Connery is only 12 years older than Harrison Ford.

How frustrating. I waited 3 days to watch the highlights, and it was the Budweiser shootout that I already knew the result of. It looks like I won't get to see the 500
.Did I miss some rule change where all the cars have to cover their bumpers with Velcro?. If not then they all must have spent their break reading their Bibles, especially the part about Noah's cargo traveling around in pairs. That leads to a follow-up question: do NASCAR drivers count as clean or unclean animals

Shucks....my streak is going to end because I don't have a clue.
I'll make it multiple choice. All the options are of British origin, and all have appeared at least as a background vehicle in Dukes. The answer has already been posted by me in another thread a few months ago.
A) Jaguar XK-E
Triumph TR6C) Triumph TR7
D) Austin Healey
E) AC Cobra

Jo Ann Pflug was Helen Hogan on Dukes
Cathy Bach was also in The Love Boat and Dukes as you mentioned a few posts ago.

Nice one Tim. I've had that one nearly finished myself for some time, but was looking for the right picture of Rosco. Did you crop it from a screengrab of the sign?.

Points to Roger (again
), DaisyMae and MaryAnne, the answer is CJ Holmes is from Tulsa.Roger, yesterday you wrote the following in the Luke's quotes thread:
"Anyway, Bo was shocked when Roger's [Gaylord Duke's] little imported car pulled away from the General like it was standing still."
Q. In 'Duke of Duke' what was the make and model of Gaylord's "little imported car"?.
Seeing as Roger is on a winning streak at present, I have a bonus question just for him:
Q. What 6 numbers should I play on this week's lottery? (I can't tell you if you're right until the weekend
). -
When you watch carefully there are more continuity errors than you initially realize, and the sound stages (mentioned above) appear quite prominently in some episodes without any attempt to disguise them.
An amusing continuity error I spotted occurs during a chase around the square in 'To Catch A Duke'. Within a 5 second timeframe the appearance of Hazzard Theater changes 3 times. Meanwhile the shop next door changes from 'Julius Berg' to 'Hazzard County Telephone Company'.
-
The only other disclaimer is the poster on the trunk. Despite watching the episode over and over I couldn't make out the small text. I'm sure the top line is correct, and I'm fairly sure the line under 'Funeral Home' isn't 'Hazzard', but I just couldn't read it. If anyone knows the correct text I'll alter it.
Whilst looking through the episode again for a different screengrab I realised there was a short scene I'd missed originally. I think the unknown text reads 'SUGGESTS'. The image below shows the original grab, a color-tweaked and sharpened version, and how it would look it my version:

lol.. which you like Boss car better? Abe or JD?
I think I'd have to go for Boss's car. Abe's car was quite tatty when you look closely. Also Boss's car was made the same year that I was

Don Adams guest starred in The Fall Guy
Nedra Volz guest starred in The Fall Guy
Nedra Volz was Miz Tisdale in Dukes
Many other Dukes' guest stars were also in The Fall Guy, I may use them another time

I caught 5 minutes of "You've Got a Friend" today. It was being shown on a UK TV channel under the alternative title "Derby" (hence I didn't spot it). Sadly I wasn't at home, missed the first half, and was on my way out when I came across it with no chance to tape it.
The TV guide gave the following summary:
"Heartwarming drama starring John Schneider and Dylan McLaughlin. A little boy teams up with a reclusive Vietnam veteran to build a go-cart for the upcoming soap box derby. (2007)"
Luckily I did have my camera with me and managed to get this picture straight off the TV:

Apologies for not giving a complete answer to the last question, even though no-one attempted the bonus part. The other companies that Boss registered Dixie Auto Supply through were:
Blue Ridge Catfish Co. which belongs to National Pinballs Ltd. which is owned by Instant Grits, Inc. which, in turn, is owned by The J.D. Hogg Investment Corp.
Roger, sadly you got the lottery question wrong as well. The correct answer was 5, 17, 18, 22, 34, 37. Unfortunately I got it wrong too, which is a shame because it was worth just over €4 million this week
