As per title - Ben Jones died. 84 apparently ! (if I didnt feel old already).

Well - I know its not universal round here - but I LOVE the Dukes of Hazzard, huge part of my childhood and 100% the reason I held that desire for a Charger since I was a kid. See ya Cooter. Thanks !

Yeah I saw that a couple of days ago. Didnt know he was still around, tbh, but sad news all the same

Ditto on the Dukes, a big part of my Saturday night routine, 'back in the day'

Yip, me too, I lived for my Saturday fix of cars jumping, compound bows and Daisy Duke in her Daisy Dukes I remember feeling totally depressed when the episodes finished as we couldn't tape anything on our rental telly (good old days). Cooter was as cool as they come and a real shame he's not around anymore
