This one's been on the back burner for a while. It's Miz Tisdale's Checker cab from 'The Hack of Hazzard'. IMCDb lists it as a 1971 model. I've helped Bo and Luke out by removing the rust/primer and replacing the emblem on the hood - to be honest I had enough of rust and primer on Swamp Molly's pickup . 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 (it may have been in another episode on a billboard destroyed by Rosco). I'm not sure which vehicle to do next. I can't promise requests, but I'm happy to take suggestions.

I'll save you the trouble Roger. I didn't know the song, but I found it on YouTube: You could use that for the 'One Word Song Titles' thread .

From 'The Runaway', Rosco and Enos have just collided allowing the Dukes and Suzy to get away. Boss, in Rosco's car, says: "I got me a sheriff who can't find nothing and a deputy who can't even find that!".

Clyde knows how you feel .

Close enough Roger. 'Every Which Way But Loose'/'Any Which Way You Can' are two of my favorite movies. The actor's name is John Quade. He played Augie Detweiller in 'Hazzard Connection'. The Black Widows must be the most inept biker gang around. Maybe Mel Tillis would've made a better job of running them. Speaking of Mel, 'Smokey And The Bandit II' was on TV over here yesterday, and Mel has a brief appearance as the fairground owner - "Oh, just one more thing. We're closed!". Seeing as no-one seems to remember John Quade I've included a couple of pictures, one from 'Every Which Way But Loose' and one from 'Hazzard Connection' (new question below): I thought that we've had enough of the guest stars for now, so back to regular questions: Q. In 'Duke of Duke', what is the name of the supermarket chain Boss wants to sell Gaylord's land to?.

Good question waikiki, I had to check the addresses to be sure. MASH was made by Fox, so the sound stages used were the 20th Century Fox Studios (10201 Pico Blvd., Century City, Los Angeles). These are the Warner Brothers Burbank Studios (4000 Warner Boulevard, Burbank, California). The exterior shots for MASH were filmed at Malibu Creek State Park (1925 Las Virgenes Road, Calabasas, California), which is less than 40 miles from Golden Oak Ranch and Valencia Oaks Movie Ranch where most of the Dukes' exterior shots were filmed. The speedway circuit used in 'The Dukes Meet Cale Yarborough' and 'Carnival of Thrills' is just north of the other Dukes locations - apparently it's now used for swapmeets. IMDb's filming locations page also lists the Paramount Ranch (2813 Cornell Road, Agoura, California) as being used for 'The Late J.D. Hogg' - this is very close to the MASH location. If anyone has additional filming locations around LA, please let me know.

Sorry Roger, it's not Mel. After ceaseless weeks of trying I finally seem to have stumped everyone . I'll narrow it down, he was in the episode 'Hazzard Connection'.

I've just spotted this in 'The Great Santa Claus Chase' from season 3. We know how close the sound stages are from my previous grab. After Bo and Luke steal Rosco's patrol car, Rosco jumps into another car saying he's 'commandering' [sic] it. As they chase around the square they head for Rhuebottom's and pass O'Connor Paint Supply, which it can clearly be seen is just a front. As the second picture shows (Cletus driving by later in the same episode), from another angle it looks like a solid building. Just to be overly pedantic, after Rosco crashes through Rhuebottom's fruit stand (which is next to Cooter's), the back projection clearly shows the Telephone Company which is on the other side of the square.

Thanks Charger, I started a brief explanation here: Vector Art 101 If you want to know more then post your queries in that thread and I'll do my best to answer.

From what I've read around the internet, this seems to have been met with mixed responses. Most seem to agree that simplification is a good idea, but most also say that the new system would give no real incentives to go for the win. A couple of alternative suggestions have been put forward including allocating the points as above after each quarter of the race. Others have said that the system needs to be top-heavy to reward wins. The points system in F1 has been tweaked over the last couple of years and worked well last year: 1st – 25 points 2nd – 18 points 3rd – 15 points 4th – 12 points 5th – 10 points 6th – 8 points 7th – 6 points 8th – 4 points 9th – 2 points 10th – 1 point With 12 teams (24 drivers) in it this year, 14 drivers will go home with no points, so there's normally good midfield racing at the end as they scramble for the last point. Also the big gaps at the top give a good incentive to win. The points total at the end of the year plays a part in pit position and revenue in the next year. Indycar also has a top-heavy system: 1st - 50 points 2nd - 40 points 3rd - 35 points 4th - 32 points 5th - 30 points 6th - 28 points 7th - 26 points 8th - 24 points 9th - 22 points 10th - 20 points 11th-17th get 19 down to 13 points (single point drops) 18th-24th get 12 points 25th -33rd get 10 points I think I would agree that the 35-year-old system needs simplifying (I've been watching for a while and haven't picked it up fully yet), but the new system doesn't seen like the right solution.

This is Boss Hogg's Triple White 1970 Cadillac DeVille Convertible. I was tempted to cheat and do it with the roof up like it was in 'Daisy's Song', which would have saved me having to do the interior , but this is how we remember it. Aside from the horns on the hood changing slightly during the show's run, it stayed pretty much the same. One notable exception to this is the door mirrors which are usually the stock, rectangular Cadillac ones in long shots (and as I've used here), but change to circlular, non-Cadillac ones in close-up studio shots. I'm guessing this is because the word 'Cadillac' appears prominently on them. I've included all the stock badges/emblems in my version.
