Maybe that's where you're going wrong. I never sign out!

COLONEL CASSIUS B. CLAIBOURNE

F1 was back this weekend after its summer break. The old-school Spa-Francorchamps circuit in Belgium is one of my favorites, but I was out for most of yesterday, so I missed the first couple of laps. Championship rivals Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc both qualified in the top four (1st and 4th respectively), but started in 14th and 15th places due to engine penalties, so their team mates Carlos Sainz Jnr and Sergio Perez were on the front row for the race. Lewis Hamilton made a reasonable start from fourth, but clashed with Fernando Alonso on the first lap and had to retire. Lewis later took the blame for the incident. Max made quick work of making his way to the front, helped partly by a safety car. Near the end, Ferrari called Charles into the pits for new tires to try to get the fastest lap. Their plan failed for two reasons: he was passed by Fernando Alonso, spoiling his lap before retaking the place, and he picked up a 5-second penalty for speeding in the pit lane losing the place again in the final result. Max went on to take an easy victory from the lowest start position his Red Bull team has ever achieved. With Red Bull's Sergio Perez finishing second, he now moves up to second in the championship behind Max's increasing lead. Belgium used to be seen as Max's home race due to its proximity to the Netherlands, but since last year, the Dutch Grand Prix has been back on the calendar, and that's where we're off to next week. You can see the highlights of the Belgian Grand Prix here.

Welcome to HNet. I had a quick look online, but only came across a site selling much flatter 3d printed horns, and not in 1:18 scale. Andrew D Charger Chaser made a 1:25 replica of Boss' Cadillac a couple of years ago. You can see the finished model in the Hobbies forum. He also linked to some build shots - the post where he scratch-built the bull horns is here.

What a pain. Something similar happened to me once when I was repainting a diecast model. It might have been the paint reacting to the undercoat in my case - this is not an skill I know much about. I moved house soon afterwards, and I've still never returned to the project.

Another day by the sea for me today, this time almost as far south-east as you can go in Ireland. The sun never properly broke through the clouds today, so no swimming. After exploring the village and quick walk on the beach we headed to the local town where I ended up spending far more than I'd planned to., but it was all stuff I needed.

Sorry, Roger, this is one for MM. My powers are limited to moderating/editing posts. Other than checking that Hobie has cleared cookies and site data, I'm not sure what to suggest.

ABERNATHY Road (Mentioned in 'Find Loretta Lynn')

That reminds of a joke I saw recently: My son was just born and another dad at the hospital congratulated me and said his daughter was born yesterday… said maybe they'll marry each other. Sure, like my son is going to marry someone twice his age...

The Hazzard Ladies' AuXiliary (Took one of the slot machines in 'One Armed Bandits')

He only has orange paint!

Burt REYNOLDS (Rosco's choice to play him in 'The J.D. Hogg Story' and played Boss Hogg in the 2005 movie. He was also a student at James Best's acting school)

Breaker ONE

Senator MAYNARD

It was a 1968 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu. If you check out my Other Vehicles of Hazzard fanart thread, you'll see my comments about them using two different cars and how they were probably the same ones that played Petey Willis's race car in 'Welcome Back, Bo 'n' Luke'.

JUNGLE JITTERS (Animated episode)

Tomorrow is the 100th anniversary of the assassination of Irish revolutionary leader Michael Collins, so today I helped to steward at a re-enactment of the ambush where he was killed. There were also speeches by the mayor and the Cathaoirleach (chairman of the council), and some Irish dancing. We had great weather for the event, and it seemed to be well received by the people who came to see it. Before the event I got to take a short ride in the car they were using - a 1918 model made by the Chalmers Motor Company of Detroit. When new, it apparently cost three times the price of a Model T. The car came to the UK in 1989 and then on to Ireland more recently.

I've never seen any sharks. There was a famous dolphin named Fungie which lived in and around Dingle harbour in Co. Kerry between 1983 and 2020. I didn't get to see it though. You can see pictures and a couple of videos here.

HANGMAN'S HILL (Mentioned in 'Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Duke')

Hogg's FRIENDLY FERTILIZING Company (Sponsor of the race in 'Happy Birthday, General Lee')

The patrol car's already looking good with its police hubcaps and new decals. The orange Charger on the left appears to be a 1970, but a front end change should correct most of the differences.
