    After several seasons which left their fans disappointed, the new rules have given Ferrari a chance to build a very fast car this year. They also have a very talented young driver in Charles Leclerc. Unfortunately, they have thrown away a lot of points this year with bad reliability resulting in non-finishes, and a few more in bad strategy decisions. I just hope they can improve their reliability and Mercedes can sort out their aerodynamics. Then we'll have a great three-way fight between Ferrari, Red Bull and Mercedes.

    Today's race was the Azerbaijan Grand Prix in Baku - a fast street circuit with a 2.22km main straight. Ferrari's Charles Leclerc started in pole position, but Red Bull's Sergio Perez took the lead at the first corner. It wasn't a good day for Ferrari - both of their cars retired with mechanical issues, as did two other Ferrari-powered cars. That left Red Bull to take the 1-2 finish as Max Verstappen beat his team mate, Sergio Perez. Despite their cars "porpoising" on the straights, Mercedes came home in 3rd and 4th, with George Russell beating Lewis Hamilton. The "porpoising" hurt Lewis' back, and he took a while to get out of his car at the end of the race. Pierre Gasly got a good 5th place finish for AlphaTauri, followed by Sebastian Vettel in his Aston Martin. Red Bull now lead the Drivers' and Constructors' championships. You can see the highlights here. It's only a week until the next race as F1 heads back to North America for the first Canadian Grand Prix since 2019.

  4. This time you've not only misquoted, but also mixed up scenes from two different movies! The first part is from near the start of the first movie when Big and Little Enos make the bet with Bandit at the Roadeo. Bandit: "Well, let's see, there's 400 cases of beer. I'll need the cash for that." Big Enos: "No problem, go ahead boy." [Little Enos starts counting out money] Bandit: "New car, I got to have a new car to block for the truck, you know." Big Enos: "OK, go ahead boy." [Little Enos counts out more money] Little Enos: "I'd like to kick his ass just once." Bandit: "Speedy car." [Little Enos counts out more money] Bandit: "Speedier than that." [Little Enos looks at Big Enos] Big Enos: "Go ahead." [Little Enos whinnies like a horse] The second part is from the third movie, SATB III. The exchange doesn't even involve Bandit - it's between Little Enos and Buford. Little Enos: "I'd like to kick your ass." Buford T. Justice: "You can't kick that high, cricket crotch." Can I suggest that you re-watch the movies before posting quotes? Also, we get that you don't like Facebook. You've made at least four posts on the subject in the last 24 hours, and also previously in this thread. Facebook is what it is - it's not going to change. If you're unhappy with it, stop using it. You don't need to make regular multiple gripes about it here.
  5. Welcome to HazzardNet. The nearest I found was a site which claims to give you the chords for various instruments. It looks like you get one free song and three when you sign up. https://chordify.net/chords/the-dukes-of-hazzard-carrying-on-like-we-did-before-reunion-the-best-video-wmv-kaklamanis1 I have never used this site, so cannot vouch for their offerings.

  7. Despite my interest in cars, I've never owned anything unusual or interesting. I have to rely on my 1:18 collection for that. My parents had a later Rover 214 hatchback, but I don't remember it being remarkable in any way. The 220 coupe variant was a good looking car for its time, and quite rare even back in the '90s. The earlier first generation Rover 200 series appealed to people who thought that a bit of wood on the dash made it a luxury car, but it was a long way from the luxury cars that Rover used to make. It proved to be an ideal choice for Hyacinth Bucket in the British sitcom 'Keeping Up Appearances'. I remember seeing Lotus Elites around when I was younger, but I haven't seen one for years. A 1930s Rolls Royce is always going to be classy. Here's a review of the 1993 Rover 220 coupe by race driver Tiff Needell from the original Top Gear. A new season of the latest iteration of Top Gear started last night. They took an old RV around Florida looking for unusual motorsports.
  8. After a 2-year break due to Covid, our local comedy festival was back this weekend. It wasn't as big as previous years, and I only got to one show, but it's great to see live comedy again. As a bonus, it's a bank holiday weekend here in Ireland, so no work tomorrow!

  13. Daisy was QUEEN of the prom Mentioned in 'The Hack of Hazzard'. It also seems appropriate because over in the UK it's Queen Elizabeth's platinum jubilee weekend.
  14. According to www.nhra.com, bleach was first used for burnouts at an NHRA event in the summer of '69 (cue Bryan Adams!). That's 10 years before Dukes started. I think I remember discussing how they achieved smoky burnouts on the show with Tom Sarmento, but I just checked, and it was almost nine years ago that I met him!
  15. Starter It seems that entrée means the main or only course of a meal in the US and Canada, but for the rest of the world it's generally the starter or appetizer (it may also follow soup or a small dish). You learn something new every day!
  16. Limo One is MISSING The closed captions spell it "Kissin' Cliff", but yes, that's the place.
