spotted: K.I.T.T. ???

[xkon]

WTF? I have heard of thes conversions, but never thought there'd be one in Calgary, let alone Canada!!! I FULLY converted trans-am, even had an 80's california plate that read 'KNIGHT'... the interior was EXACTLY like KITT, all the displays and he was talking too!!! The lights in the front, everything!! Took many pics, but alas the old S400 doesnt fare too well at night in a moving car...

[xkon]

also saw a silver EL with beyond stickers on deerfoot... whoever you are, nice drop!

[kenny]

Yeah I saw that KITT car parked on 1st street before. Had all the lights and everything, looked pretty cool

[izzoblitzo]

is it legal to have the license plate?

its not actually from california right? and even then, would it have been the old school style?

[xkon]

it had the old cali plate on the bumper, and the new AB plate in the window... illegal if you ask me

[fast95pony]

I saw it last week on Barlow . The lights in the front grill were going back and forth just like K.I.T.T. I had a good laugh. I had forgotten about it till I saw this post.

Well i guess i'll post up my pic of K.I.T.T. Taken about a week ago. Sorry about the quality but i was driving Deerfoot Tr when i saw it.

:drool: :burnout:

[Dj_Stylz]

I saw that also couple days ago its a hot car

[civicguy2002]

Yeah the guy who owns that car works with my brother. He even has bought the computer to hook up to the car to make it talk. The California liscense plate is even an origional from the show. It sure brings back good memories.

peace

The dash is a digital. but when i drove by it on beddington the speedo says he was doing over 200km/h.


Pretty neat IMO but i wouldn't take the time and money to make something that a few 25-35 year olds would find cool!

[86max]

Would someone mind explaining the significance of this car please? Maybe it's because I'm 20, but I have no clue what this is about. I'm sure some others may not know either, so that's why I ask.

Thanks

google search "Knight Rider" about as popular or even cooler than The A team

Youngen!! Hahaha!!!

In a nutshell, its a old skool show from the 80's featuring David Hasselhoff and a computerized, smart-ass talking Pontiac Firebird.

Here's a detailed explaination:

And if you remember 'Knight Boat' on the Simpsons, that a parody of Knight Rider.

Fuck man, I'm 20 and I fondly remember Knight Rider. It was an integral part of my childhood. This, and MacGuyver were the way to go back in the day.

[Benny]

Old school shows.
Those bring back memories.

[Shaolin]

that car was the shit.. like most of us mid 20s guys i wanted to have one.. I have the matchbox version in my basement somewhere :D

[topher91]

There's a car that looks just like that one in Martindale by me GF's house!!! I always liked it!!

BTW^^^


MacGuyver is on everyday on Spike at 9am and then again at 10am!!! :thumbsup:

Yea, I remember that car from way back when I got my security system for my old car at Quinn security. They did all the electrical wiring and stuff. Took a look at it in their shop. Really cool.

[SwitchBlade]

hey! i remember the show Viper, they filmed some of the episodes here in town.. I saw an episode that featured one of the Channel 7 news reporter guys (some asian dude) and showed the calgary tower in the back ground. They were filming a chase scene down sarcee/bow trail.. by my house.. there's two quick 2 second shots that have me and two of my buddies in the background with our bikes (we wernt supposed to be in the shot, but we snuck through some bushes along the hillside).

hahaha cool show.

[xkon]

i was an extra in one of those viper episodes when they did some scenes on 1st street... what a cheesy show!!

[eb0i]

I saw the KITT car up by sunridge a few months ago, it made me do a double take! Loved that show when I was a kid, now I have to go rummage through my old junk to see if I still have some of my old knight rider toys(i used to have the talking car!).

[Orbie]

Yeah I saw this thing a long time ago on Memorial East, it was stopped next to me at a red light, and you could see all the cool guages and lights...I was in such awe that I just kept staring at all the trinkets wondering what they all did. Very cool!

[benyl]

Turbo BOOOOOOST!

haha, memories...

[GorG]

I saw two of them driving on Crowchild today i didnt have a cam with me thou
