There's a banner at the bottom called "Gitt". Then a popup. click the buttons near the bottom until you get to the video.

It's funny - at one point he removes his hair to put on a crash helmet! :lol:

Man, this is a Lada! And the name Gitt... it means Putty in Hungarian. In the Hungarian version of the Slammin' Sammy episode, the announcer says: Let us see Michael Knight and his super car, the... Gitt. Hearing this, Kitt says: Michael, do you know what Gitt is? Gitt is putty with which wrecked cars are mended!

Interesting because he didn't make that comment in the English version. :) I guess they put something special in some of the non-English versions. You guys got a treat. :)

Let me explain the situation.. This is the web site of GITT, the new TV ad campaign for OPET, one of the biggest energy companies of Turkey. The actor's name is Cem Yılmaz. He is the most famous stand-up performer of the country. In this serie of TV ads, he is "Mike" (referring to Michael Knight) and his car is called GITT (KITT). Originally, the car is not a Lada. It's an old Turkish car: Murat Serce. It's not being produced any more. There are only 1000 of them left. The idea of this TV ad and what makes it interesting and funny is, that the car has been known as the worst and the cheapest car of Turkey and thank to gas bought by OPET, GITT performs very well like KITT in the original serie. You may contact me for more info if you like.
