Re: Locations ? Many Happy Returns

I happened to be out in LA a few weeks ago, and thought I would see if one of the filming locations was still around. Sadly, it wasn’t. Only a few remnants are left of what was. For anyone who has been trying to find where “Lowell Industries” from “Many Happy Returns”, it no longer exists (the build...

Re: KRC Book Piracy?

How ironic. An item about an event from the same era that the greedy, so-called “financial experts”, lit the fuse to the economic bomb that recently blew up, helping to clean up the fallout from their financial irresponsibility. It is a tough call. While it would have been ethical to have gotten you...

Re: KRC Book Piracy?

Are the eBay copies regular or irregular, or from a possible overrun? Not being one to believe in coincidence, seeing as the eBay sellers' location is so very close to Nextgen, the possiblity that both are the same, or related, is high. If they are, you get a good idea of the actual print cost (star...

Re: ki2t top speed at super pursuit mode

In which case, there can be NO definitive answer that can be stated as being fact. Only an approximation. Screen shots only show at a particular instance, at an increasing rate, rather than at a steady rate. As in The Topaz Connection, the last shot of the speedometer showed 206 mph and increasing. ...

Re: Why did Pontiac abandon Knight Rider

I believe the car at Saugus was car 3 or 4. So it could still jive with Glen's story since he did say first couple. Look for the video link that was posted on your website after that event. The owner specifically mentions the story of the "first cars off of the line" and states "this...

Re: Why did Pontiac abandon Knight Rider

To clarify this statement: The first couple of cars used for the show were not the first cars off the assembly line (as in the first Trans Am's produced). - Yes they were the first cars off the production line , the 1982 versions of the Trans Am that were not yet released to the public. Glen was in...

Re: Favorite random mistakes?

I liked the KARR episode when KARR abducts Bonnie from the mansion and KITT takes off after KARR. Michael has to jump on the back of KITT and climb in through the open roof. When Michael starts driving, you can clearly see a stunt dummy still hanging on the back through the rear window.

Perhaps they got scared by the lowest rating last week. If that was the case, they should not panic and just see if things pick up again. That's not possible.

Re: 82 Recaro Trans Am on Ebay

It is NOT a 82 Recaro Trans Am.

Buy It Now price is kind of high for a low optioned hardtop, though it does appear to look in good condition.
