KI2T & KI3T at World of Wheels autoshows
Posted: Tue Jan 13, 2009 1:28 pm
NOTE: I do not work for Championship Auto Shows, O'Reilly Auto Parts, or any of the shows affiliates.
I was researching when the World of Wheels car show comes to town, and to my surprise the site shows: "KITT from Knight Rider" and "KITT from the original TV series Knight Rider"
Looking under the 'Spectator Information' shows two pictures. The "KITT from Knight Rider" appears to be the Attack Mode from the February pilot, while "KITT from the original TV series Knight Rider" appears to be the SPM car used in the Jamie Kennedy movie???.

Last year, Lightning McQueen form Cars was there, as well as Bumblebee from Transformers, but you had to pay to have your picture taken with either of them. I presume this will be how it is for the new KITT, if not both KITTs. If someone can make it to the Atlanta show this weekend and do some recon, then we would have an idea on if they charge to have your picture taken with KITTs, and how much.
I can't wait for the show to come to Minnesota. Since I most likely cannot make it to Knight Festival in Vegas, this will help me cope
