I just met David Hasselhoff in London with my KITT

Post by Menace » Mon Jul 19, 2004 8:32 pm

Hi guys,

I just got back from seeing David and it went so so so well. Some of the cast of the show spotted my car wile having a break and wanted to have pictures taken with the car, then more and more cast menbers came. Nearly all of them had pictures taken with my KITT. So by the time David was all done he knew my KITT was waiting outside. There were so many fans and press. He came out and signed many autographs then shouted " Where's my buddy with KITT" and he walked straight over to me and KITT.
He spoke with me for about 5 minutes and then signed a few things for me. He then got on my bonnet (hood) and posed for the press and got me there with him for most of them.
He then had another picture on the bonnet (hood) and said " this is for my website" to everyone. We spoke about many things, he was charming. We will meet again soon.
I will got pictues
I also got it on video.

Hi guys,

Thanks for your comments. Neps i will need someone to host them, so that would be very nice of you.
My car is a 1983, beautifu paint job, nose cone, scanner ( which he wanted on) Talks, immaculate interior with PMD's correct wheels , lower console and gullwing. Just awaiting my electronics from juptior so i can install my dash. Davis really liked it. He was sitting on my hood with me posing for pictures and he turned to me and said " Knight Rider lives on, heh bro"
AMAZING.
He assured me the movie is going to happen, just takes time to do it right.
I will be seeing him again soon, any questions you would like asking?
Not too many though.

Vinny

How long have you had the car - and how did you end up buying it in the first place?
By the way - thanks for answering my previous questions.

Hi

Thanks R.J, you know what?? I felt like the man tonight, apart from Michael Knight. I have had the car for two and a half years. I just ended up buying it on impulse, a now or never thing.
So i am going to bed now because it is real late in London and i need to slow down my adreneline so i can wake up tomoorw and take in that i just had Michael Knight in my KITT.
He signed one of my pictures " To Vinny and his London KITT"
Check his website for a nice picture of it soon.

Hi Guys,

I was on an official call a few minutes ago with Davids people. can't say more and it might not happen, but the plot thickens.
What i can say is that David loved the hype of last night and he has more plans.

CHICAGO

Post by Menace » Thu Jul 22, 2004 5:06 pm

Hi Guys,

Wouldn't that be mad, but that may be a little out of my reach.
The one thing we must remember is that David is in London to do Chicago and whilst we all want more information on the movie and Knight Rider related subjects, including me, we all have to support David in his commitment at hand which is Chicago. He is really putting so much effort into this and seems to be doing an ace job at his role as Billy Flynn.
So lets all wish him the best

Vinny
