For some reason, the shot near the end where you're approaching the bridge reminds me of the Dukes heading for Atlanta in 'Daisy's Song'.

I don't know Nickie Fagan. The car I sat in wasn't his, but I never got the name of the General Lee owner I met at one of the other car shows. I did get to spend the afternoon chatting to Tom Sarmento many years ago. Back then, there was another HNet member in Ireland who went by the name of CDoherty. He invited me to join him with Tom. You can read about the meeting here. I can't find Roth's real name. His bio says he's from Gelderland, The Netherlands. You can see his introductory post here.

It's good to have another member in roughly the same time zone. We used to have another prominent Dutch member, Roth Potter, but sadly they haven't posted since early 2021. I assume Alma's website was thedukesofhazzard.nl. I hadn't realized it had closed down - there was some great info on there, especially about the Georgia locations. It looks like Alma was once a member here briefly. There's an AlmaH from the Netherlands who made seven posts between May and June 2005. I think there are at least a couple of General Lees here in Ireland/Northern Ireland (I posted pictures here of the one I got to sit in). I've seen other TV/movie cars at shows, but I don't remember seeing any other Dukes vehicles.

The forum only lets you upload very small (think postage stamp) sized images. Your best bet is to sign up to an image host such as Flickr. Many offer hosting of a certain number of images for free. You can then put a link to your image in your post and your picture will display.

Great video, Mr. Lee. Thanks for posting it.

Welcome to HNet, floyd. You may want to check out the Pilot Anniversary thread that MonacoMan started on Thursday.

I've just had a look at the episode as l don't remember noticing the other buildings before. If I have my bearings correct, they were a bit further back from the road and they look pretty derelict. Looking at historic aerial photos, the new house at the back of the plot was built in the mid-80s, and I can't see any trace of the other buildings in the 1993 image. The address was/is 2201 Lenora Road near Loganville, GA. The Google car went down the road in February 2022, so we can finally get ground levels views. As far as I can tell, the chimney is still there - check out the Streetview. Amusingly, there's a sign right outside where the Duke farm house used to stand that says "Road Closed At Bridge". Big Hayes Creek is about a mile down the road. If that's not an invitation to jump, I don't know what is!

I'm here, Roger, I even made a cheeky reply to your post earlier this week. I think the time I couldn't log in due to the forum update last year is pretty much the only day I missed in over 10 years. I also read or at least skim every post. It must be that I'm going to bed before most of y'all turn up!

Last Friday in Word Association. Haven't seen him since!

Railroad (or railway as we say it over here).

THE Hazzardgate TAPE

Very impressive. A lot of those locations are well-documented online, but you found a few really obscure ones too!

GAIL Flatt

The American Andretti Global team have partnered with General Motors with the aim of joining Formula 1. If their bid is successful, they will race under the Cadillac name. With all the formal processes they'll have to go through, it won't be until at least 2026. That's the same year that Audi will start using their own engines, although their takeover of the Alfa Romeo/Sauber team is already under way. Full story here.

Sheriff BUSTER Moon

Yes, but we're back to "A".

WITNESS For The Persecution

There were only 22 races in 2022, so even if the Chinese Grand Prix isn't replaced, we still get one more race this year.

Back to the obituaries. It was announced today that Anita Pointer, from the Grammy-winning Pointer Sisters, has died aged 74. Here's 'Automatic', one of their hits from 1984. It was a #1 single here in Ireland.

Yes. It was cancelled at the start of December due to ongoing Covid restrictions. This was before China's recent relaxation of its very strict Covid policies, but I doubt that it will be enough to get the race reinstated this close to the event.

Assuming that you're talking F1, I still want to see Lewis Hamilton get a record-breaking 8th world championship. Having said that, it won't be easy even with a car which finished the season much more competitive than it started, because he was beaten last year by his young team mate, George Russell. George is only 24, and looks every bit a future world champion.
