Thanks, MonacoMan. It's taken me a few days to dig out my DVD of 'Rebel Without a Cause'. You only get a couple of shots of the exterior of the police station in the movie, and they're at night (unless I missed something skipping through). The entrance has had quite a few modifications over the years, so I'll have to try and get a similarly angled screengrab from Dukes for a comparison.

It looks like the US-based Haas F1 team may be trying to ditch their Russian driver, Nikita Mazepin. It turns out that his father, Dmitry, is a billionaire who supplies a lot of sponsorship money to the team, but he also has close ties to Vladimir Putin. If he does go, I don't see it being a great loss to the sport!

Sorry, Big Enos, I don't know where he is.

Tires come in sets in F1, so changing 3 would have resulted in the car being recalled to the pits and possibly a fine for the team. BTW. In Ireland, Woodies is a store similar to Home Depot in the US.

Is everyone enjoying 2's day? Yes it's 2/22/22 (or 22/2/22 in the parts of the world where we write dates the right way round!), and it's a Tuesday.

What device are you working on, Roger? Laptop, tablet, phone? Also, which browser/operating system? If I'm not familiar with it, someone here will be.

I'm glad it was just the mustache!

F1 has been using single lug rims for decades (it's one of the reasons that F1 pit stops can be so quick), but they still cause problems from time to time. It's been a while since a car left the pits with a loose wheel that subsequently came off, but there were several cases last year where teams either struggled to get lug nuts undone or cross-threaded them putting wheels on. P.S. Thanks for including Jacques Villeneuve's finishing position, Spike.

A bit of context would help, as well as indicating that two different people are speaking (I don't think their characters are named). Here's the scene where Bandit asks Hot Pants Hilliard to hold up the pursuing police cars. The quote above appears at about 1:50. I did (see at about 1:05 in the video below). I also noticed that the helicopter following them disappears just before they get to the fairgrounds. You'd have thought they'd be needed most when the cars on the ground were blocked. The Atlanta patrol cars at the fairgrounds are similar, albeit older models, to the ones in 'Daisy's Song' (below). The badges appear to be realistic for the Atlanta cars of the time, although the real ones had a number in the white rectangle.

I had a similar problem after the update. When I went from the homepage to the forum page, my username was in the top corner and it would show any notifications I had, but as soon as I clicked on anything, I was logged out. The only way it would let me log in again was by clearing the cache and cookies. I'm using Firefox.

Last time Roger was here he said he was back from Akron and was having his grandchildren over for the night, so no clues there. Having said that, he has been known to take a break from the internet from time to time.

Tomato You nearly got it right, Hobie.

Well, Lewis Hamilton announced yesterday that he will be racing in this year's F1.

Ireland and the UK are currently being hit by Storm Eunice. Some parts have received a red weather warning. About 80,000 homes are without power in Ireland, and flights and ferries have been cancelled. Even some schools have closed. We're only in an orange alert where I live, and so far the day's been quite nice and sunny with scattered showers and gusty winds. It was calm and dry when I started this post, and just as I was about to press "Submit Reply", I looked out of the window to see almost sideways hail. A couple of minutes later, and it's almost over. I guess the rest of the day will be the same.

Jacques Villeneuve, there's a name I've hardly heard since he left F1 (I don't get to see IndyCar). He's not doing bad considering he's nearly as old as me.

Michael Masi, the F1 race director who screwed up last year's championship by failing to follow the rules at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, has been removed from his post. Two new race directors will now alternate in the role, and teams will no longer be able to communicate directly with the race director. The full report won't be published until the season-opening race in Bahrain on March 19th, and I still haven't seen any word on whether Lewis Hamilton is competing this year.

That looks fun - I wonder what the race would've been like without the rule change.

Bob's family have just revealed that before he died, he received an accidental blow to the back of his head, thought nothing of it and went to sleep. Authorities have concluded that drugs and alcohol were not involved in his death.

The house from The Waltons appearing in Dukes is mentioned in the Hazzard Square thread. If I remember correctly, it was in the trees at the north of the Warner Ranch. I remember researching the location, but I'm not sure if I ever posted it. The Waltons episode 'The Townie' was partly filmed on Midwest Street aka. Hazzard Square. You can see pictures here and here (both in the Hazzard Square thread). The Duke Farm and Boar's Nest appearances in Knight Rider are covered here and here respectively in the Valencia Oaks Movie Ranch thread. Indian Dunes, with a mention of Knight Rider, is discussed here in the Hazzard Square thread (there are a couple of broken link in this post that I'll need to try to fix). Knight Rider also filmed at Saugus Speedway, which featured is several Dukes episodes including 'Dukes Meet Cale Yarborough', 'Hazzard Connection' and 'Carnival of Thrills'. There was also a Knight Rider episode, 'Give Me Liberty... or Give Me Death', which featured an orange '69 Dodge Charger that ran on moonshine. You can see screengrabs in The Dukes of Mexico thread.

Moody (Linked to a different Turk) I've seen it written down!
