Vinnie's KITT on tour

Post by Michael Pajaro » Wed Oct 05, 2005 5:42 pm

I have a friend in Edinburgh who told me about this, although she didn't get to see KITT herself. She promised to look for newspaper articles about it.

Bring him here, we'd appreciate him.
I think KITT demands attention, even if you can't remember who he is!

I like the link to the David Hasselhoff internet downloads, especially for "The Hoffice"

I guess Vinny's quite a huge fan of "The Hoff" himself, then.....

Vinny has met David a few times and Glen A Larson too, check his site out, lots of cool pictures of all the events he has done with his car.

KITT on tour

Post by Menace » Sun Oct 09, 2005 1:52 pm

Hi Guys,

I'm still about. The tour went really well, we did Manchester, Birmingham and Edinburgh, the pics will be on my website soon. Norwich Union printed posters and leaflets with my KITT on them, i'll upload them to my website too. KITT was so popular on the tour, the Manchester reporters were only there for 2 minutes, they stopped thir car jumped out asked a few questions, took a few pics and drove off. I'll be doing more events soon, like The UK Classic Car Show at the NEC Birmingham, 4-6th November, i'll let you know when i do, maybe one with the HOFF, but only maybe.

Thanks for caring

Vinny

Ah, hopefully you don't feel too bad about that. If there was ever a person to dent your car, it's "The Hoff"!
