Re: Knight Rider Bloopers

The speed difference is most likely just because the videoclip may be from PAL version :)
I think there's 4% speed difference, PAL version running faster than NTSC.

Really love watching whatever videos Knight Rider Historians release, super interesting stuff :)

Re: Kitt as an 80's camaro

Back in the old days when I had the Geocities web page, used to have edited pic of 3rd gen Camaro as KITT there. When I have time, I'll have to look my backups if I could find it and post it. Well, haven't found it, but decided to make a new photo using a Hotwheels 1/64 scale 3rd gen Camaro. This i...

Re: NEW KNIGHT RIDER STUFF FOR 2020, 2021, and 2022.

Here's few comparison shots between Hotwheels Elite KITT model and this IXO 1982 Pontiac Trans-Am model, both 1/43 scale: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51178294881_c472bc0adb_h.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51179389400_aa54975696_h.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51179389380_...

Re: NEW KNIGHT RIDER STUFF FOR 2020, 2021, and 2022.

Not official Knight Rider merch, but an ordinary black & gold Pontiac Firebird Trans-Am in 1/43 scale, made by IXO. Isn't this basically Michael Long's Trans-Am seen in the Pilot, before Tanya Walker shot him in the face?

Yes, that's what I was meaning by "not the most accurate" model. For example, if ERTL and Hotwheels could do it, I wonder why Jada didn't make even the license place right? Perhaps licensing issue? Maybe the license for fully accurate Knight Rider model might be very expensive as the show ...

Re: How I would repair the Franchise lineage and start the new feature film.

4th gen Trans-Am might look pretty nice as a "next gen" KITT, if the original 1982 KITT must be updated: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50695509658_4fe864e96d_h.jpg Played some Forza Motorsport 7 with my Xbox One S, took this photo and slightly edited it to look like 4th gen TA KITT :D

It's actually huge 1:8th scale - the cars on the top shelf of that display case are 1:18th scale. Given the dimensions of a standard Trans-Am, at 1:8th scale it would be around 61cm (24 inches) in length. It seems like it will be released as a kit in a weekly part-work magazine.
