Don't have that channel on Freeview, and I didn't watch Buck when it was on years ago!!Andrew 2.8i wrote: ↑Tue Jul 07, 2020 5:45 pm Forces TV was repeating Dukes episodes, complete with the General and confederate flag, weekdays at 6 PM.
They might still be showing them, I haven't checked.
Andrew.
Edit: I've just checked and Forces TV is currently showing Buck Rogers in that time slot.

Re: Dukes Of Hazzard Car Spotted
Apparently it's on Freeview channel 96. I have no idea if that is correct or not.
Buck Rogers doesn't interest me at all.

Re: Dukes Of Hazzard Car Spotted
I did watch the odd one, Starsky and Hutch was also repeated. Thought they were great back then but time hasn't been kind to either show unfortunately.Andrew 2.8i wrote: ↑Tue Jul 07, 2020 5:45 pm Forces TV was repeating Dukes episodes, complete with the General and confederate flag, weekdays at 6 PM.

Daisy Duke doesn't seem to have aged a bit though
Re: Dukes Of Hazzard Car Spotted
Nonsense! Ignore the past and censor history, thats the key to becoming an enlightened and progressive society. Everyone who has died and been sacrificed to get us to this point can rest easy, knowing it will never happen again through the tried and tested method of refusing to accept the actions of the ones that came before.
What better way to respect the memories of those past times than ensuring we repeat the tragedy on a constant 100-year cycle for generations. That's the path to progress, repetition!

Re: Dukes Of Hazzard Car Spotted
They were on later too, around 10.00pm, showing every episode from the beginning. They took it off a little while ago, possibly when the black lives matter thing got underway.Andrew 2.8i wrote: ↑Tue Jul 07, 2020 5:45 pm Forces TV was repeating Dukes episodes, complete with the General and confederate flag, weekdays at 6 PM.
I've been watching Dukes a lot lately as I have the box set, a proper box set that is, with a box. Love it, fantastic show, it had everything.

Re: Dukes Of Hazzard Car Spotted
Yes, it's been banned on American TV for some time now, much to the distress of the shows stars who just can't get it back on. Unfortunately golfer Bubba Watson bought a series car and painted over the original flag on the roof, to much controversy.
It's been ongoing for a while this. Shame.

Re: Dukes Of Hazzard Car Spotted
That's the best way, otherwise the middle and ending of each episode won't make sense.

Re: Dukes Of Hazzard Car Spotted
Well, I've found some info.
I have been speaking to a nice chap in Chorley (Lancashire) who has a Dukes car and rents it out for weddings and the like (https://www.facebook.com/generalleenorthwest/) and shows it too, events, exhibitions, a real Dukes enthusiast. It wasn't his car I saw, but he knows who it was.
The car I saw - new owner has only had it a few months, was previously owned by someone else in Chorley (not sure why Chorley has become the General Lee capital of the world), but anyway this is an ad from that car, and also the car I saw -

That's a big chunk of change, but a beast of a car! 7 litre (425 bhp/490 ft lb of torque) and over 17 feet long!!pbar wrote: ↑Thu Jul 09, 2020 4:50 pm Well, I've found some info.

Re: Dukes Of Hazzard Car Spotted
I think the price stated is in Euros Andy, but yes, even so, it is a lot, but the more I think about it the more I can see that being a reasonable value for a car like that. I mean, how on earth could you find another one?! When you look at the extortionate prices of some modern cars then a '69 Dukes Dodge Charger seems good value at that.

Even so, I would buy this all day long over a modern car for similar money, and people seem to pay alot for nostalgia!

Re: Dukes Of Hazzard Car Spotted
It was just that the Pound sign looked a little different, and on some of the others cars offered on there it states Euros on some of them, not just from abroad either I don't think, but I just don't know, I think you are probably right.
I totally agee with you Andy - I'd choose this car too

Re: Dukes Of Hazzard Car Spotted
I'd definitely have one, even though the drive like a pig
Drove one last year on a track day - even though there is loads of power they certainly don't go very fast because it weighs the same as a small moon, but plenty of torque and I didn't stop smiling the whole time!

Wise words Paul - most of life is stressful enough as it is so I've just started making the most of life while I can and just trying to enjoy myself!

Re: Dukes Of Hazzard Car Spotted
Spot on Danny, good for you I think a lot of people will be reassessing their lot with what has happened recently. Unfortunately I think that most will fall back into their 100mph absorbent lives. But some will take a look and wonder what the hell have I been doing.

Re: Dukes Of Hazzard Car Spotted
I was amazed to see this car again today on my local roads, twice. I was able to give him the thumbs up and he replied with the Dixie horn. Made my day that.
