The Official Dukes of Hazzard Trivia Thread
HossC replied to Meadowmufn's topic in Dukes of Hazzard Trivia
This is slightly embarrassing - it appears I can't read my own writing. There are 2 small typos in this question: D) CK 8228 should be CK 8229 G) CBP 397 should be C8P 397 To make up for them I've made some picture clues: Hope everyone gets them now. -
Here's another British view of American cars from Top Gear's Jeremy Clarkson. This one is from his mid 90s series Motorworld: I wish the commenters on YouTube had a sense of humor - while America was making these cars the British car industry produced some absolute rubbish in the brief periods when they weren't on strike .

Thanks for the PM with the answers - right as usual. Now we'll see if anyone else tries. I was hoping the inclusion of 'Hogg' in the penultimate one might throw you.

You're just too good at these BoJames. This time I checked you weren't looking over my shoulder while I was posting . If you're doing these in your head or on paper I think you should apply to go on Countdown (for members in the US and elsewhere, Countdown is a TV quiz involving words and math). Here's the new ones: Naked Guacamole Daddy's Swishing Tongue Dad Terrifies Hunter, Roger My Tough Seahorse Grafters A Diaper Rots Broaden A Mindset Navy Decals Poshest Counterfeiter Wins Not Hogg's Ethereal Feel Probate Control BoJames - If you get these as quickly, maybe you could just post to let me know you got them all right. That way other people get a chance to have a go. One day I hope to catch you out again like I did with Buster Moon. If they're not solved in 24 hours post away with the answers - it'll save me a job .

I deliberately made the last 4 harder because y'all were getting them too easily. All of the last ones only appeared in one episode each, but they were memorable/featured cars - 2 of them even had names. I'll give some clues if you're still struggling. -
How times change. I did computer graphics on my course, and it didn't get more exciting than palette swapping and XOr putting. Then again my 486 DX 33 was faster than the 386s that my college had, and we were writing in TurboPascal. I also had an enormous 105Mb HDD and upgraded to 8Mb RAM at a price that would make your eyes water .

I just watched the 'making of' video. It's amazing how much time goes into a short film. Thanks for posting it.

I've seen the cars with their rain covers on. What happens if it gets rained out 'til Monday - do you get refunds?. What does a ticket cost in the first place?.

Sorry Roger - BL and BoJames got it right. It was: C) Terry Labonte Next one: Q. Hopefully everyone knows who drives the car with the license plate 'CNH 320', but who drives the cars with the following license plates (I'm looking for the main driver(s), and if the car has a name you can give that too). A) FCH 630 83522 C) CL 7634 D) CK 8228 E) SNP 650 F) ZAB 749 G) CBP 397 -
24 hours later than planned - here's the next set of anagrams. This time all the answers are episode titles. I managed to find reasonable anagrams for about 80% of the episodes, although some have several different ones. I'll post them 10 at a time in a random order. I'm relying on BoJames to check my spelling . Knuckleheads Ruined Intro A Beleaguered Musky Cohort Grocer Toils A Skinhead Rehearsal Idly Abuse Kidney A Spattering Thighbone Sonnet Echoing Hat Chose Epic Pole Highest Bite Unsolved Racket

Good to see some of the colonies still know what's good for them .

Except Double Zero (allegedly) .

Glad to have you along Pendragon. Maybe this Chance Walker of yours is 'a lawn checker'. Certainly I know he has a 'clean whacker'. Probably best not to look too deeply into that one either .

I'll give the 'septics' a chance to answer before I post the answer . -
It's easy to forget how technology moves on. The General has a big engine, but also a lot of weight to carry. The test was round a short twisty circuit which, let's face it, is not what Chargers were designed for. Up until recently it has been a running joke this side of the Atlantic that US car designers have never seen road that isn't straight. . I think I felt the same as you when Top Gear put another of my favorite cars, an Aston Martin DB5 (the James Bond car from Goldfinger) round their track. It looked good standing still, but wallowed through the corners, and was pretty slow. The same episode also had a similar age Jaguar E-Type (XK-E). The Jaguar looked stock, but had new suspension and electrics. It performed like you expected it to when you were a little boy . In another episode of Top Gear the 3 presenters had to buy 70s Italian supercars for under £10,000. They had a Maserati, a Ferrari and a Lamborghini (admittedly all had seen better days). They were all beaten on a lap by a diesel-engined Vauxhall (Saturn) Astra.

Sounds like something just clicked into place there, I did double-check it when you were struggling - well done. I'm working on anagrams of episode titles at the moment and may have the first ones up later today. Here's 2 more characters to keep you busy 'til then. A Guarded Rebuke Facecloth For Prisoners (Clue: one of these has appeared already).

I knew you were good at these . OK, here's the next one. Q. Also in 'Undercover Dukes', in the real NASCAR footage that was used, who drove real #44 car. Clue: he made an uncredited appearance in the pit lane. A) Dale Earnhardt Richard Petty C) Terry Labonte D) Darrell Waltrip E) Benny Parsons -
Are you still playing 'The Official Dukes of Hazzard Trivia Thread' BoJames?. Roger asked me to set some questions, and he's stumped on my first one. You seem pretty hot on your trivia from what I've seen.
-
I'll give you an anagram of their full charcter name. I'm sure it won't take you too long to solve it now . Seb infers hot forum. If you're still stuck I'll narrow it down to the season.
-
Incidentally, there were a few variations I could have used: Cooter Davenport can also be 'Vetoed Porn Actor', The Boars Nest can also be 'Breathes Snot' or 'Stoners Bathe' and Rhuebottoms can also be 'Stout Hombre'.
-
This character only appeared in one episode, but is prominently named. I stand corrected , although Mud Freak = Duke Farm, so it still works. I didn't expect these to be solved so quickly - I'll have to work on some more, unless anyone else has some to post.
-
I doff my hat to thee, BoJames - well done. Now there's just the Dukes characters and places to solve.

Sorry Roger, I've had a few late nights on HNet this week, and was asleep long before you logged in yesterday. To answer your question, no, it wasn't in the shaving cream, although Uncle Jesse's shaving cream can would be a great hiding place - I bet it hasn't been touched for years:). The hiding place wasn't as clever as that. Think more about going to a movie. When they got inside J.J. Carver's estate the camera got hidden in the kitchen roll in the RV, but I'm looking for how they got it past the guards. If you don't get it this time I'll give one more clue before posting the answer. -
You gave me a good chuckle before breakfast with this one. Well done Jami Lee - that's another ticked off. There's still 2 relatives of Cooter to find (and 2 others). Anyone started on the new ones posted a couple of days ago?. I thought Meadowmufn might have got at least half of them by now.

The Torino gets mentioned in David Soul's 2003 appearance on Top Gear. I remember hearing somewhere that the original Torino had bench seats which had to be swapped for bucket seats as Paul and David were always sliding into each other when filming chases.
