Recent trip to the USA-Warning lot's of Dukes pics!! :)

Post by danny_duke01 »

Recently got back from a 2 week road trip across the USA. I was mainly going for a Dukes event and to meet the cast and get interior parts from my (Rosco replica) signed. Met most of the Dukes cast before at various events,but not all at one event.

This was the event poster...

These pics were taken the day before the event. I knew the show promoter,so he invited me down to take a look around...

Great stuff Danny - looks like you were the main attraction, with your tats! :)

And your 'funny accent' (I suspect) ;)



I bet there weren't too many '68 & '70 GL's there.... :lol:

Awesome Awesome Awesome !!!!

That must have been the trip of a lifetime - I collect toys from the 70's & 80's and have £££££ of Dukes stuff ( evel Knievel / ertl / bandit / BJ & Bear / ChIpS ) To see the cast in real life is a privilege.
