Hi,
New here.
Just wanted to say how Knight Rider brings back fond memories for me. I love everything about it, KITT, Michael Knight, the music. Its a classic 80's TV show without a doubt.
I feel like going out and buying a Pontiac Trans Am right now, trouble is living in the UK they are quite rare.
Anyway great forum, and great to see so many fans of the show are still around.
Cheers
Equinox

I might just be able to afford to buy one, whether i could keep it running is another matter
I doubt i could afford to insure the thing anyway, being a 25 yr old with 9 points on my licence. They would laff at me

GEEK ALERT!!!
Equinox is also the name givin to either of the two times during a year when the sun crosses the celestial equator and when the length of day and night are approximately equal; the vernal equinox or the autumnal equinox.
It is also the name of a an album put out by a musician called Jean Micheal Jarre....a Frence instrumentalist.

Autralianknight, I found an 89 in Perth I think it was, minus engine, gerabox, computer, etc, for 9 grand. Not a bad price, really. Thought about putting a Commodore V6 engine & tranny in it. But alas, money is always the object.

that would be the cheapest ive heard of a ta in australia
twice i nearly bought one, one was an 82 mint black new paint tan interior newly painted engine bay ttops no ground effects, all i would have needed was a dash, pods, and nose and i would have been set,
it was $15000 . beautiful car, but couldnt get the loan,
the other car was 30k ttopps white, 89 would have been too nice to convert, i did see one a few weeks ago near buy at $16thousand but it was a hard top.. darn.... every time i see one my heart stops..
i crave for kitt, either 1st season or 4th convertable..
would be awsome..
its funny when ever its raining and im shopping i have a habbit of talking to my watch and asking my car to come and pic me up..

People do it all the time here in New Zealand....pay $NZD25,000 for a brand new Jap inport...whihc includes the cost of getting it out from Japan
So it might not be a bad option Aussie
