Today, I received from Ighi72 a lot of pictures about 2 great American Cars meetings: the "American Wheels" in Voghera (the same of the pictures sent me by Luca.77) and the "MOPAR & DUKE's Fest" in Cantù. The pictures are amazing and you will find a lot of incredible muscle cars, especially the cars used in "The Dukes of Hazzard" (but also other TV/movie cars)!!

   The 7th July, the italian FX Channel (113 on Sky) will broadcast every day (from monday to friday at 5:15 PM) the TV series "The Dukes of Hazzard" from the 1st episode of the Season 1.
   So, if you want to watch once more time the adventure of the family Duke, the incredible performances of the General Lee or the troubles created by the Sheriff Rosco P.Coltrane and his fat friend J.D.Hogg, tune your TV set every afternoon on FX Channel and remember to fasten your seat belts!!!

   Today, I want to show you some pictures I received this morning from Luca.77: sunday, he visited Voghera (PV) for the best meeting of American Cars. Naturally, he found a lot of TV/movie cars (4 General Lees, 1 KITT, 2 Zebra3, 1 Christine, 2 DeLorean, etc.) and now I have the pleasure to show you all his pictures: Enjoy with them!!!

   As announced yesterday, in conjunction with the original Dukesfest 2008, I organized a little meeting with all my "Dukes of Hazzard/Collier & Co." diecast models. Unfortunately, this year it's not possibile for me visit this great event, but the next year I will make my best to visit it, to know all the funny members of the CGLFC forum and the cast crews.
   So, for this year, I satisfy myself with this meeting in 1/18th.

   Waiting the first pictures from the Dukesfest 2008, I finished to work on the wheels mounted on the grey Traveller, the replica of the car owned by Erik Dimitriou. As you can see from the pictures, I modified the model as the other Traveller, reducing the suspensions height and the rims colouring. Now, this model is ready for a "virtual" Dukesfest... Stay tuned for a funny surprise!!

   In the previous days, I found on eBay this wonderful vintage diecast model of the "General Lee". It was produced in the 1981 by ERTL and it's slighly larger than a classic 1/18th scale model but I bought it because I already own the "Coyote X", produced by the same manufacturer in the same period. Unfortunately, now this model is not in my hand but in this moment it's travelling from the UK to the Italy, so I show you only the pictures received from the seller. When I will receive the car, I will update the pictures with a new photo session.

   Saturday, I visited the "Movieland" park with my girlfriend: it's the first time I visit this park and, at the beginning, I must admit I wished to visit it only to see the TV/movie cars distribuited on its surface. However, I visited all the other attractions and I must say I had great fun in this park (especially into the "Horror House", into the "U-571" submarine and on the "Virus Letale" tour). Also we have seen the Indiana Jones show, where a group of stuntmen have recreated (in real time) a scene of the original movie using speedboats, waterbikes, explosive, etc... Very impressive!!!
   Anyway, I've taken some pictures of the cars: my preferred subject has been the General Lee because around to it there is a beautiful reconstruction of the Cooter's garage (it's a bar/pizzeria): certainly, it will not be never like the Dukesfest, but at least I had a fantastic time with my girlfriend! And now, watch my pictures
