  1. As we know, Boss's twin brother, Abraham Lincoln Hogg, was the opposite of Boss in just about every way. Boss has a white Cadillac, so Abe has a black one. Here is Abe's Cadillac from 'Baa, Baa White Sheep'. Unlike Boss's Cadillac this one is a '69, so the lights, rear bumper, grille, emblems and hub caps are different. I imagine the top view would be very similar, so I only did the side, back and front. As is common practice on Dukes, the 'Cadillac' script on the trunk was taped over, but the emblems are visible.
  2. cafe 'Sad Cafe' are a UK band best known for their 1979 hit . Besides, I know Roger likes this thread to be about food .

  4. Welcome to HazzardNet Chris. It's good to have another member on my side of 'The Pond'. With regard to links, I think you are OK posting your link here (mods may correct me ). Links in your signature are frowned upon, but don't forget to add a link to your profile page. More info here. I see your blog has only just started, so I'll keep an eye out for updates. Also, thanks for reminding me of the word 'antithesis' - I haven't used it for ages.
  5. Well done Roger, Gaylord's first sign was 'Stay Left' because the British (and Irish) drive on the correct side of the road . The other signs I spotted were 'God Save The Queen', 'Speed Trap 1 Mile Ahead' and 'Speed Limit 155'. If anything, the last one would have been MPH, not km/h. The British have taught the metric system since I was at school (all those years ago ). Produce, by law, must be sold in metric weights and measures (despite opposition from some areas - see Metric Martyrs). Initially old imperial quantities were converted directly eg. you couldn't buy a pint of milk, but you could buy 568ml. Then supermarkets realised that half a litre (500ml) looks nealy the same, so we got less for the same price. Despite this they still use miles, MPH and MPG when driving (when I first moved to Ireland all the distances were in kilometres, but the speed limits were in MPH - they have now changed the speed limits to km/h). Consequently, most kids now only understand the metric system, but as they say: "Give 'em and inch and they'll take 1.609 kilometres :)". I assume they picked 155 MPH for the sign because it was just a 55 MPH sign with a '1' in front, but in Europe many of the (mainly) German car manufacturers have a 'gentlemen's agreement' to electronically limit the top speed of their cars to 155 MPH (250 km/h). Enough metric/imperial trivia - back to the Dukes trivia: Q. In 'Arrest Jesse Duke' the car strippers drove three jeeps, but what colors were they?: A) Red, white, and blue Red, green, and blue C) Orange, yellow, and blue D) Orange, green, and blue E) Red, orange, and green F) Red, orange, and yellow G) Red, green, and yellow

  10. Welcome to HazzardNet Chris :).

  11. BL, the bus used in 'Nothing but the Truth' was from the similarly named 'Dixie Tours inc.'.
  12. I actually did a mock-up of how Charlie Daniels would look as Uncle Jesse a few months ago in another thread. Based on suggestions in that thread, I cast the members of Lady Antebellum as the Duke cousins. Modern Version of Dukes of Hazzard
  13. Thanks for the links Daney. I noticed that IMDb had finally caught up with the news last night, you can check out Peggy's acting credits here.
  14. It's a good idea Roger, but 9pm Eastern is 2am for BoJames and me. If you make it to chat room a bit earlier I might see you there. Otherwise maybe we could try for an earlier time at the weekend.
  15. Congratulations Roger, you've broken your losing streak. It was Overland Charter Lines. Q. In 'Duke of Duke' Bo, Luke and Gaylord have to paint road signs as punishment, but what sign does Gaylord paint?. Bonus points for the other signs that are seen on the table a little later.
  16. Welcome to HazzardNet :).

  17. Welcome to HazzardNet :).

  18. So Molly, did you ever find out if the car in 'The Ghost of General Lee' is a Caprice or an Impala?. Cooter was working on this car in 'The Meeting' - it looks like a 2 door '62 Impala.
  19. I knew I should have made this one multiple choice . It's one of the following: A) Southern Coachways Overland Charter Lines C) All American Coach Company D) Hazzard Tourama E) Dixie Travel
  20. Welcome to HazzardNet :).

  21. Sorry if the question was ambiguous Roger. Well done Lizzy, you were spot on. Q. In 'People's Choice' what is the name of the bus company on the side of the bus that Thelma Claire 'T.C.' Rogers arrives on?.
  22. balloons
  23. Very sad news. I trust the source, but the announcement doesn't seem to have hit the usual sites yet. My thoughts are with her friends and family.
  24. I caught some of the game last night, but had to call it a day sometime during the 3rd quarter due to the time difference and having work today. In an era when most of the good sport is pay-per-view, I was surprised to find the game being shown live on the BBC. I doubt we would have seen the same commercials here anyway, but the BBC is commercial-free, so every time y'all had a break, our guys went back to the studio for a chat. Consequently I'm grateful for the link MeadowMufn posted, otherwise I'd have missed out. For anyone who didn't see the commercial last night or hasn't had a chance to watch it on YouTube yet, here's a couple of screengrabs to whet your appetite. Is it my imagination, or did they digitally remove the camera that is normally visible hanging off the passenger side of the General at the beginning of the jump?.
