JOHN SCHNEIDER IN AUSTRALIA!

[BCDR05]

JS will be in Brisbane 21st, 22nd and 23rd of April 2006 for the Australian Comic Book Convention. I am going, with or without my General Lee which we've just built and they've given us permission to take up to him, cause it's only an hour away! COME ON FOLKS! I need some enthusiasm to tow it up there! HELP ME OUT HERE!!!!! :evil:

[Duke_It!]

Pay for an airfair ticket from NZ to Brisbane and I'd do anything I could to help! :lol: I'd push the thing if I needed to... :lol:

But seriously...

Lucky YOU... going to meet him...

It's depressing me... :cry: :D

[BCDR05]

I do believe John is visiting New Zealand very soon and perhaps for the same show. Can't gaurantee it's for the same show, but I KNOW he's coming your way VERY SOON! :evil:

[Julieduke]

Well, that show will be a little hard for me because I live in Cleveland,Ohio USA.

[BCDR05]

Well how come you said pay for an airfare from NZ to Australia? LOL! I thought that meant you were in New Zealand! LOL! :evil:

[Duke_It!]

I am! That's another person! :D

Is he coming to NZ?

....

I'm always the last to know these things...

[BCDR05]

YES! John IS coming to New Zealand very soon. I'm not sure on details, but I found out he was coming to Australia because someone else told me he was visiting here and New Zealand! I will get back to you as soon as I know! I get it now! I mixed up who was who! Keep an eye out on this page and I'll see if I can find out for you! :evil:

[Iloveschnieder]

Oh you lucky dog you! You have to give us all the details after you see him! Oh you have to bring your General Lee! Are there many GL's in Austraila?
Have fun!
Btw what does John have to do with comics??????

[BCDR05]

we don't have Dodge Chargers in Australia, if we do they are imported. We built a four wheel drive buggy instead and painted it up! You can see it at our personal website at

I'd say John is at the comic book festival for Smallville/Superman. We are at the beginning of Season 4 over here. Lois Lane came into it last week


:evil:

[Julieduke]

Well, I think the first episode of the fourth season has to be my favorite from Smallville.

[Duke_It!]

Well, I found out where he's going to be in New Zealand.

It's the Armageddon Pulp Culture Expo, and it's (sadly) in Wellington, which is somewhere over $100 to get to from where I am (at least).

And, topping it off, apparently the "Orginal General Lee" is going to be there too.

Ahhh, well... I'm sure I'll get over it at some point! :-?

Hello, my name is Jansen, well, I meet John yesterday 22nd in Brisbane! a dream come true! got an 8 x 10 autographed glossy photo of him with his General with him doing a donut in it! plus he signed a photo of me aged 10 back in 82 at knotts berry Farm standing with a General, where I also saw Tom Wopat on stage singing the same day! I told John all about this and he was blown away! I also let him know that i'll be visiting Covington and staying at the Holiday Inn in Conyers this August with which he suggested I try the spaghetti! He commented on my T-Shirt which had the words 'Genuine R/T Charger' on it and I was able to pose for a photo with him and my 10 year old boy who's a fan too. Boy though, I look like crap standing next to this guy, just a bad photo I guess, yes thats it, must be! :wink:

What great pictures! Thanks for sharing them! :)

[BCDR05]

That's cool Jansen! Do you have a pic of you and him that I can put at our personal website (Mine aren't great either of me!)? I'd be glad to! Did you go to the seminar that day? It was the funniest thing. He's a very funny yet sweet man. Our website for our pics with John is at

[aussie Duke]

Thanks mate, yes i was there and he really comes off as a genuine Good ol' boy!!

Ok, i'll send the pic thanks.

I remember when seeing your General I said wow thats awesome! got some shots of it for my General Lee picture collection.

p.s. I noticed the 01 plate on the back signed by Ben Jones!! very very nice touch buddy!! I'll be visiting Cooters Garage in Gatlingburg Tennessee when im over there, can't wait!!

Great work, you should be very proud of your hard work!

YEEHAW!

[BCDR05]

Oh wow! Can you send some pics of our car through too? I hope you won't mind? We tried to get some pics, but there were people standing around it and leaning on it etc all day. We hope you liked it! Were you there when we got it signed by John? I call him the 'Blah blah blah' man now! I'm sure you know what I mean from that! That was a crack up! LOL!

[aussie Duke]

Ok will do,, I got 2 shots of it but there was this guy leaning on it eating a pizza off the rear tire!! pissed me off but my shots kind of worked around him. How disrespectful some people can be!!

sorry, i missed the signing, that must of been a extremely amazing experience for you?! Bo Duke with your ride dude!!!!


YEEHAW!

[BCDR05]

Are you kidding me?! That's when we were there trying to take our pics! And there was a lady leaning on it drawing? We got rid of her quick ourselves! Perhaps you saw us? Paul had the bright orange and black business shirt on! That's weird! :lol:

[aussie Duke]

Writing on it?!!! :o

I did notice a guy in a bright orange shirt and said to my son "I think he may own the General" wanted to ask and say great work but things were a bit hectic! :cry:


YEEHAW!

[BCDR05]

No, not writing on the buggy, she was drawing in her own book, but leaning on the buggy to do so! Paul didn't like that. Yep, that was probably us! You couldn't miss Paul's shirt, that's for sure! You should've said hello, we would've been happy to oblige! We actually told some boys to get into the buggy during the day and took their pic with it. They were just going to stand beside it, but I said, nah! go on, get in! They were excited, so it was fun! There was a film crew going around all day filming the buggy too, so I'll have to get onto Daniel (the organizer) and see if a copy is available. It was being filmed for the convention. Daniel was great to us! A tiny man, but with a BIG heart! He organised the whole thing for us after we asked him if we could do it . :D

[aussie Duke]

Thats awesome!

I sent the pics through just now, hope they're ok.

Don't know if anyone noticed but the t-shirt John was wearing was the same colour as the t-shirt he wore under his cream shirt in the Dukes of Hazzard. I wonder if that was intensional?

YEEHAW!

[BCDR05]

I got your pics! Thanks a bunch! I sent you a proper email! I'm going for breakfast now! Speak soon! :D

Awsome!

[aussie Duke]

Thanks!!

The General in that pic is actually Johns, the one named BO'S GENERAL LEE on top! awesome photo, very clear.

YEEHAW!

blah blah blah man? how come?

[BCDR05]

You must have missed that at the question and answer forum? John took his time answering a question and at the end said "well that was a marathon answer! blah blah blah" All of a sudden, a little kid in the audience starting singing 'blah blah blah'! The whole audience went into laughter, including John. Maybe that was Harrison? LoL! :lol:

[aussie Duke]

LOL! we didn't stay till the end and missed that bit BUGGER! had to be somewhere else :(


YEEHAW!

[GinaRenee]

You all are so lucky! :D

[Iloveschnieder]

You are all some lucky Aussies! I am so envious of y'all. Janson, you look fine. Don't worry you lucky man. I love the pictures that you shared with us. I would truely love to meet John. There is just something about his personality that I love so much about him. I see it on the cometaries.
So what was his view on your General Lee and what did he write on it? I really couldn't read it.

[BCDR05]

John wrote on the bonnet of The General: "To Paul and Bernadette, keep it 'tween the ditches!" yee haa John Schneider "BO01" 22-04-06! He actually mentioned it in the question and answer seminar and said something like: I've seen everything dressed as The General, chargers, mini's, lambergini's even, but nothing like that 4x4 downstairs! That's cool!" Paul and I were chuffed as he wasn't actually answering our question, but someone elses', yet he mentioned our vehicle! We stuck our hand up when he mentioned it and he pointed to me and said: "Oh that's yours? Wow!" All of this mind you was over a microphone for the whole room to hear! It was all very exciting! When he signed the buggy later on, his last words to us were: "Now you make sure you get some dirt on that thing guys, and some scratches too!" We'd explained to him that we'd just finished it and hadn't taken it out yet. We said "We will!" but Paul is actually wondering now how far he'll go with it, because the bonnet is signed and everyone reckons it's too nice to bushbash! We're glad you like it!

[aussie Duke]

WOW! what an experience for you guys!

Is there maybe something that could be placed over the signing that'll protect it from the elements but still be visible? I know that i'd never wash that part again!! Take care.

YEEHAW!!

[BCDR05]

Yes, of course we are going to get it protected! It's a public holiday today, so when we get a chance, we will buy something to do that: the buggy has a proper car cover on it as well! Thanks for your concern

[Iloveschnieder]

Wow what a great experience you had. So what can you protect the autograph with?

[BCDR05]

The autograph will be protected with some sort of contact paper that I have organized to get from a 'sign writing' company! They know what to do! It's only going to cost about $10, but it will have 2 wait til wednesday! That's pay day, but don't worry, the buggy has a proper clothed car cover on it when not in use! Thanks for the kind words! :evil:
