If you were a Knight Rider / "KITT" fan back in the early to mid 80's you will recogonize this car! The Knight Rider TV series ran from September 1982 until August 1986. David Hasselhoff played Michael Knight opposite the real star, KITT. KITT was a 300mph, high tech, self aware communicative, man-made marvel, designed to aid and protect Michael Knight. Together with his human co-star, KITT fought for justice across America. This is one of the original vehicles from the series introduced initially in the third season and then re-converted to simulate the "Super Pursuit Mode" variant of KITT that debuted in the 4th season and was later used in the Knight Rider made for television movie (1984) and for exhibition and promotional purposes. One of KITT's many technologies. the "Super Pursuit Mode" was designed according to the show to give KITT a 40% increase in speed through the assistance of retractable airfoils and jet boosters. Inside, a panel of lights and screens depicted a look at the future of automobile technology - a future that exists in some ways today! This vehicle was most recently featured in the 2006 feature motion picture "The Benchwarmers" wit Adam Sandler. This vehicle was adapted for that movie by George Barris Productions from which it was purchased in 2005 (original add included) It was also featured on the Nick & Jessica Variety Hour. THIS AUCTION REPRESENTS A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO OWN A WELL-KNOWN PIECE OF TELEVISION AND MOVIE HISTORY!
I've been accepted onto the BBC High Definition trial, and get to pick my new DVB receiver up from the C4 office on Saturday. My understanding is that they're currently transmitting tests on the OTA HD channels, but will transmit scheduled content from June 9th, just in time for the World Cup and Wimbledon.
In other amusing news, Amir Massoud Tofangsazan has caused himself a bit of bother by allegedly selling a broken laptop on eBay without properly erasing the hard drive contents. It looks like the media has caught on (with varying angles on the story), and Amir has been advised to sue. Can't wait to see that one in court!
