10 Years to the Day
I don't think anyone needs reminding of what day today is. Its the day that shocked the world,killed thousands,and changed the way we look at flying. My question is,where were you when you heard the news? I was only six at the time and found out in my local post office after school. The most vivid memory I have is seeing the plane crash into the south tower on the tiny tv in the post office. So my question to you is,where were you on that day ten years ago?
- Congratulations Redneck girl 01 !

I wonder why they chose to use a different tunnel. The only reason I can think of is that the Witness for the Persecution tunnel relativity close to Golden Oak Ranch (which is where WB was at that time). Where as Lake Sherwood is much further north (if I remember correctly) so it must have made more sense to use the new tunnel.

The trunk lid could have been used on one of the other furys that were used in Georgia That could be the 69 donor car,which was left behind in Georgia,and restored two years later and turned into one of the first General Lee replicas. I remember reading somewhere about a charger being built,but not used in Georgia. However it was a 68 charger,not a 69. Lee 4 and 6 were 68's if I'm correct.Lee four is seen doing a 180 degree turn in the woods in High Octane,and Lee 6 must have been the specially build car that never appeared in any Georgia episodes.

If I'm not mistaken it was used briefly in Diamonds in the Rough. I cant remember exactly when,but i think it was just after Bo and Luke got the Bugs Bunny doll.

Mistakes (Bloopers)/Things I've Noticed About The Show
Thanks Hoss. Im almost 100% sure that Enos isnt played by Sonny,and Cooter probably isnt played by Ben.I noticed that his hat is very low on his head and he seems a bit stockier than he does in the Boars Nest. I wonder why Sonny and Ben weren't in the final scene? Because Enos's and Daisy's Wedding and Opening Night at the Boars Nest were probably filmed at Valencia at the same time.

I wonder who owned that car. Did any of the cast members own it? Or was it one of Warner Brothers background cars. Whatever the case I'd love to know what happened to it

Mistakes (Bloopers)/Things I've Noticed About The Show
I just finished watching Enos's Last Chance. Just after Scanlon (or Scallion as Rosco called him) escaped from jail you can see his green Chevy parked in the background as he shoots at the tires. Also in Opening Night at the Boars Nest,as everybody pulls up outside the Boars Nest for the last time, you can see that Sonny isn't playing Enos,somebody else is. Watch carefully as boss turns away from the door,and "Enos" turns around. Maybe someone can post a screen cap or two of each?

Congratulations CDoherty95, August 2011!
Wow thanks everyone,that was really unexpected!! I did finally get my General Lee finished,just hours before I went on holidays. I spent most of my time cycling while I was away,and am toying with the idea of trying to put a cb radio or dixie horn on the bike. I had a lot of free time so I watched most of the episodes from season 4 onwards. Like many other fans I was shocked to hear of Chris Mayer's sudden death Paul,Peggy and Chris gone within a few months of each other Anyway,heres a link to the rest of the General Lee build and a few from various trails I did.http://s1098.photobucket.com/albums/g368/GeneralLeeBike/#!cpZZ1QQtppZZ16 Enjoy!!

My New General Lee
Hey y'all. I'm hand stitching a leather saddle together and there are going to be a few wrinkles on the back of the saddle. My dad suggested I get a metal plate and put it over the wrinkles. I thought it was a good idea and then started debating over what to write on it. Finally at about 11 last night it hit me. S this morning I set off to the local jewelry store,and came back with a 1 inch by 3.5 inch piece of gold colored metal with the engraving CNH320 on it. Its basically a mini version of the Georgia licence plate that we see in high octane. I know some of y'all probably think its a stupid idea,but I remember a thread about someone building a General Lee,and somebody said "at the end of the day its your car,so you do as you please with it."

Well Brian it was over thirty years ago,so there might not be much left after 30 years sitting in a field. Its a shame that Cliff has passed away,he probably would have had a good few stories about the Dukes.

My New General Lee
Thanks MaryAnne,and Ill set up a photobucket and upload pictures this weekend. Update ********************************************* Today I went off to a local upholster, and picked up a meter squared of chestnut colored leather for €3!! It was more than I needed to cover the saddle,but I now plan on using some of it to cover the handle bar grips (its seldom that we have very hot weather and the bike will be stored in a garage,so the handles shouldn't heat up too much!!). Hopefully tomorrow I can find somewhere that sells primer and strong spray on glue.

My New General Lee
Hey y'all!! I've been a Dukes fan for as long as I can remember,so when the opportunity came last summer to build a General Lee bike I was more than willing. I worked round the clock,stopping only for food and sleep,for 3 weeks until finally my General Lee was complete. I had stripped the bike down to metal,and replaced every single part with a new part. I spent nearly every day of the summer tearing around the country roads of Sligo. Unfortunately just before easter,the General Lee was stolen from outside my school. Two weeks ago, I finally decided to accept that I wouldn't get the General back,so I began to look for a new frame to work on. Last Saturday I struck gold,and picked up a ten year old mountain bike for €20 (I know it seems pretty expensive for a 10 year old bike but it was rust free and ran like a dream). I set to work yesterday stripping it down to the frame,and today set to work stripping the original gold paint off. Tomorrow I'm going on the hunt for primer (its the only thing I haven't got) and will hopefully be painting the primer onto the frame on wednesday. Ill try and post pictures and keep y'all updated as I go along. My goal is to have the bike fully rebuilt by next friday (its a tight schedule i know) and ready to take on holidays with me.

Sorry about all the trouble Brian I remember hearing somewhere that Cliff had passed away since Lee 1 was found,so we would have to try and contact his wife. Would the bodyshop have any records? Surely there's a slim possibility that they've got a bill or two left over from the Dukes.

Don't mention it Hoss. The grass has probably been lifted and moved about but atleast it gives us a vague idea of where it was. I'm so glad that this mystery has been solved now

Hoss I might have found out where that mystery court house and hospital is. I was watching Dukes in Hollywood earlier. After Bo finds the corduroy patch on the nail,Bo,Luke and Daisy sit down on the steps infront of a building. Look closely in the reflection of the glass in the door,it looks like the courthouse/hospital in the reflection. Could someone post a screencap of the reflection? Thanks y'all
