This may be of interest to some of you? This 2001 film featured the use of CB radio, Joyride or also known as Roadkill.
Anyone else have any CB related films or Tv programmes they would like to share?

What? No mention of the classics yet, lol. Like Convoy or the Smokey and the Bandit films or even Cannonball Run. Ah happy days.
Oh, and I almost forgot, there's an episode of Terry & June where he has a CB.

I remember the General Lee having the General Lee radio in and thinking i would love that radio. I've watched all the films and love them all. Anything with a cb or ham radio i love
Did they not also use Cobra and Realistic radios in the General Lee?

That doe`s look familiar Ray, especially the vulture attempting catch the snake, did they use CB radios as the title suggests?

Yes you're right.
The reason i said that was i saw a picture of a guy that owned a general lee car with a general lee radio in and thought that's what they used for the show. My apologies

I remember this cartoon after watching the video. I was ten years old in 1977 when this first came out.

Here is a blink and you miss it.
Between 0.00 and 0.03 you see a hand held, a coffin shape mic in the back ground and a black box with a gold heatsink (a Zetagi amp maybe?)

For all those who remember the '80s British sitcom 'Terry and June', there was an episode called 'Eyeball Eyeball.' Terry ended up buying a couple of cb radios in that episode. I was trying to find it on YouTube without any luck.
