Re: Help finding this episode based on location
Very cool photos, thanks for sharing them :) First episode that came to my mind from the paracuting thing was Knight in Retreat but there Michael Knight was towed by KITT and he then landed to the Retreat front yard. In this website used to be a good episode guide but it seems to be down at the mome...

Re: When Will The Hot Wheels Super Elite 1/18 Kitt Be Released?
Nuremberg toyfair 2020 is currently going on and someone posted two photos in IXO manufacturer's gallery of KITT model that looks like it's 1/18 scale. No information at all what features it has but here's the links for pics: https://fs-hobby.jp/wp/wp-content/uploads/toymesse2020_ixo016.jpg https://...

Re: pontiac banshee as kitt
I don't have Photoshop at all :D Using Gimp 2.8.4, I think it's very old version by now as well. Works fine for resizing photos for internet forums and colour corrections and some photo editing, like removing license plates from cars, etc. Back in 2000's I used Ulead PhotoImpact, special edition fro...

Re: pontiac banshee as kitt
Cool creation. Always liked your KITT conversions, for example 4th gen Trans-Ams, etc.
Used to do photomanipulations for fun years ago but haven't had the time for it for a long time now. Probably my skills have rusted away by now

Re: Knight Rider modelcar pics
Great job on the ertl kitt with the electrical tape and the foglight covers. Looks so much more accurate than what they produced. Thanks :) That was back in 2005, later it got bigger changes. Might post a pic later about that. This time some Knight Rider inspired pics, scenes from some episodes imi...

Re: Knight Rider modelcar pics
Here's my original ERTL 1/18 KITT, one of the first pics I took about it. From factory, the most outer "fog lights" are amber so taped them black with electrical tape. Also simulated the turnsignal covers with clear tape. Later I made bigger mods to it, like cutting the pillars between fog...

As a modelcar hobbyist and Knight Rider hobbyist, thought I'd start a thread about Knight Rider modelcar pics, any scale, any manufacturer, KITT, KARR and whatever cars showed up in Knight Rider episodes :) Starting with 1/43 KITT by Hotwheels and recently released 1/43 Mercedes-Benz 350 SL model by...

As an industrial worker I have found that there are too often lots of faults in the automation, that I don't trust them working reliably in a car either, at least not for long.

Re: Malibu Wildfires - The house from Soul Survivor
Nice to see that "our" house survived
That house may have been pretty new at the time they made that episode as there didn't seem to be any houses nearby. Now the area is fully built.
