It's Christmas Eve here in Asia now...I'd like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and later a very Happy and Prosperous New year! Eat and drink heartily folks but just a precaution....If you drink, do not drive. Stay safe guys!!

That toy is very nice! It kinda looks like a cross between KITT and the DeLorean Time Machine. If KITT was to travel through time, this car would definitely fit the bill. It even has accurate bowling ball caps, way way cool!

If I remember correctly, Heather Thomas' character (Jody) sometimes drove around in a white 1982 or '83 Firebird in the show.

Ahh...so they were. Thanks for the correction. Stainless steel is heavier than sheet metal I believe. It would explain why the DeLorean was so underpowered.

I'm sure delorean was never made in colour too, only standard polished aluminium that marked when you touched it) so it must have been painted. (or am i wrong) I also don't think those DeLorean sports cars were painted at the factory. It is possible to paint over the aluminum shell but a special pr...

parked right out in front of a BIG Pontiac logo! Most likely a dealer!

It's not coincidental...its actually a very good product-placement gimmick by Pontiac.

It actually looks more like an old Mazda RX-7 to me.

Attack...Sustain...Delay. To me it sounds like it has something to do with musical MIDI instruments, specially synthesizers and the like.

Here's an ebay auction you might want to look at...click here.

KITT's tires weren't treated with MBS since in one episode a direct hit with a laser completely destroyed (melted) one front tire. The tires were just puncture resistant or bullet-proof but not MBS coated IMO. In JYD, all the tires should have melted along with all the metal, upholstery and rubber p...

The fastest speed the car probably reached during filming was most likely the desert scene during the intro and credits. No traffic, no turns...speed definitely breached 50mph.

Then there's KITT running on a ramjet also in the desert after their unpleasant encounter with Goliath.

Here's a CNN report I read a few moments ago. Appears that David doesn't drink alcohol anymore, cheers David!

Those are great diecast modifications, Juggernaut30! If you were to make several of those and sell them in ebay, you'd be a rich man. The SPM KITT will easily fetch $100 and more easily.

Actually this feature doesn't give a car more power. It enables the car's rear wheels to have more traction at high speed resulting in greater stability.

Nice KITT replica although the interior looks to be a stock Firebird (round steering wheel is visible). Antenna should also be removed. But a good replica nonetheless.

It looks like the gold Pontiac emblem to me. No engine is visible, only some sort of crushed metal or reflection.

The episode is Junk Yard Dog of the third season.

In Imageshack, you don't have to download any program from them. All you need are the pictures you have on your camera. All digital cameras regardless of brand will enable you to connect to a computer and dump all the pictures into a directory on your hard disk. You upload those pictures (files) to ...

knight2006:Why do you insist on asking for private email addresses when you can always rely on a site such as Imageshack to upload and share images for everyone to see?

That clutch pedal is made out of plastic and can be easily removed with a sharp exacto knife. An easy fix.

Yeah, I like your idea with the t-tops...I'll definitely look for those special products and once I find them...Bam!

my next one I will use black tinting spray I think I saw that product at a hobby store some time back. It never occured to me to buy and use it. But I can always mask my model's entire back end and spray it on the lens. Worth a shot :) I hear that, another option is to make a new lens from the old ...

but you still should have painted the clear red part black to match the bodym i glued the red clear part to the body before painting the whole thing black. I've thought about doing the same thing Dave Knight. The problem is that when the lens is painted, it loses that see-through glass effect (whic...

They also look even better if you paint black in between the turbocast's spokes. I think Ansy-KITT was the first to do this:D Yup, painting the square holes (flat black) in the turbocast's spokes makes the rims look more realistic. Even my 1/18 KITT's rims are painted flat black. :) Coupla question...

The model look exellent! the only thing i don't like about it is the wheels:( Yeah, they're not really that accurate to the bowling ball caps of a real Trans Am. The caps are a wee bit too small and the square holes surrounding them are too big. I considered using the ones from a Revell Firebird ki...
