Hey Pete! I can't thank you enough for your kindness!!! You made my entire trip! BTW -Another video in the works around the piece of the Boars Nest that you so kindly gave me, stay tuned. Thanks again Pete!!!!!!!!
@petesadventures6486 I saw you in videos with @ChunkeyMonkey40 about the Dukes and also going to see Smokey and the Bandit filming locations. Couldn’t believe this guy’s luck when he ran into you. I absolutely love the Dukes and was over in Atlanta for business last year from the UK. I purposely stayed in Covington so I could visit the Dukes filming locations. What a great place and great people. You have an awesome collection of cars my friend. Good on you for using them and letting people see them
That is awesome. In when I was 15 in 2006 we went to dukesfest. We went to go look at all the locations like you and we stopped at a gas station. There was a general lee there and while I was inside getting a drink my stepdad asked the man if I could ride in it and he said he was going to the boars nest. When I came out my stepdad told me that he asked the man and he said I could ride in the general Lee but they never told me that I was going to be riding all the way to the boars nest. It was the coolest thing ever to pull up to the boars nest in a General Lee!! Awesome video.
Yes indeed, The Dukes of Hazzard are great childhood memories. It is nice to see that the legacy of the series is kept alive even after 40 years, and that there are still General Lee's driving around. Man, what a great era that was back in the late 70's and '80s. They don't make that stuff anymore. I wish we could go back in time!
Great video, cool to still see a General lee hanging around in covington. I haven't been down there in several years. There are still several filming sites that are almost unchanged over in social circle. And a few more outside of conyers. I haven't drove those roads in my old charger in several years but it sure was fun when i did.
Thats cool he gave you that piece man!! Pete's a great friend of mine, he's very cool! I actually make the orange cars matter stickers, Pete has one on the trunk lid haha! Super good dude! Where u from in Michigan?? I'm in Brighton, just north of Ann Arbor! We should go on an adventure sometime!
Hey @ChunkeyMonkey40 thanks for reaching out. Pete actually mentioned you during our meeting. Your sticker is under his hood! Awesome! He is a great guy. Yes I am in Michigan, Fenton, just north of you. Definitely open for an adventure. I will try to dm you.
@ChunkeyMonkey40 - your videos are great. I’ve watched them all and I particularly enjoyed the recent one where you interviewed John Schneider and also the one where you visited the original Duke Farm. Please keep up the great work! Sending a big ‘yeehaw’ from the United Kingdom!
My hometown & I was lucky enough to be in the 1st episode when the General Lee comes sliding onto the square being chased by Roscoe in the 1st chase scene {RUclips video Dukes Of Hazzard : Chase From 1st Episode}! Me & my dad were in front of Harper's dime store {red rick building} right as the general comes onto the square! I used to run around in that courthouse as a kid as my aunt was clerk of courts & even went up top to the clock to play around! I was also at the 25th anniversary reunion {2003} where they recreated the Dukes jump that is a staple at every Dukesfest now! I was also lucky enough to be on the other side of the square in 1981 when Burt Reynolds landed his plane to get beer in Cannonball Run {RUclips video Cannonball Plane}, I was one of the folks getting out of the way as the plane starts to take off! In 1992 I had a '78 Ttop Z28 that was used in an episode of Heat of the Night but I guess it was left on the cutting room floor as I never seen my car in any episodes! I moved from Covington in 1998 & only been back a few times since then! My good buddy is a HUGE Lions, Tigers, Pistons & Wolverine fan, his dad was born in Lansing, ironically were Burt Reynolds was born ✌💖☮
Wow! What a great story. Thank you for sharing. I could only imagine how great it was for you to grow up there. This was my first visit to Covington and I was impressed by the kindness and hospitality. Thanks again!
@@stathunter Yea it was some fun times back in the '70s, '80s & '90s there mostly because it WAS a small hick town just like Dukes portrayed it but got into the ATL metro area in the late '90s & with all the filming that has been going on there & tons of people moving there it just became too "cityfied" for me so I decided to move further into the country where I could have my veggie garden, chickens, ducks, dogs, cats, hogs, goats & turkey...lol! There have been movies made in Covington since 1954 "A Man Called Peter", "Little Darlings" 1980, "Friday 13th part 6" 1986, "Prize Fighter" 1979, "Coward of the County" 1981 & many many others, we are Hollywood South as they call it! As for kindness it doesnt get any better than our Georgia southern hospitality & I am glad that you enjoyed your trip AND got to see a General Lee! Oh forgot to mention that me & my dad also got to see some of the filming of Smokey & the Bandit & proud that I got to see Burt right before he died {2018} at the 40th Anniversary of SATB in Jonesboro 2017
I don't know if you have heard this before of how the Dixie horn became involved with the Dukes. They were filming a scene at that Boar's Nest location and a car drove by, saw them there and blew the horn. One of the guys filming there that day got in a vehicle, chased the guy down and offered to buy the horn off his car. The rest is history. What is really strange about that parking lot is it doesn't look any different than it did back in 1979, a little bit of concrete, a little bit of grass and dirt. In a way, kind of neat it is still that way but at the same time I'm surprised it isn't concrete or black top with the church now being there. It's crazy how those guys you met happened to be down in that area for you to meet them, cool.
will you paint your van to look similar to the general lee? 🚗 are there other filming locations from other movies/shows that you plan on showing in future videos? 🎬
Love that show cool video keep the dukes of hazzard alive it sucks I had to buy the episodes on prime instead of just watching them on tv …damn democratic liberals
10:42 I mean yes im so jealous of his car here, but dude hes got to get that number and word general lee right, that just looks horrible, great car, great guy, but get those looking right
Hey buddy, that was me in my car that you met. I love this video. Thank you for putting me in it. It was a pleasure meeting you.
Hey Pete! I can't thank you enough for your kindness!!! You made my entire trip! BTW -Another video in the works around the piece of the Boars Nest that you so kindly gave me, stay tuned.
Thanks again Pete!!!!!!!!

@jdtractorman wow! That is a great story about the Dixie horn thanks for sharing!
will you paint your van to look similar to the general lee? 🚗 are there other filming locations from other movies/shows that you plan on showing in future videos? 🎬
No orange paint for the van but SERIOUSLY considering adding the Dixie horn to it!
Great idea to add more locations! Will have to do so soon!
