If its the one I think it will be... It lives in Timaru...


It was used about 18 years ago in the NZ Tour... unfortunately I was a rather inquisitive/troublesome 8 year old, and asked why it had a radio underneath... when they wouldn't tell me, I pulled the plug on it.

Woohoo, Pyros faster than "Knight Rider"...


Did you have to activate the turbo boost?

He have have had the windows blacked out, because as you may or may not know, K.I.T.T can black out the windows at any time.

The duke boys had their own downsides... Daisy was their cousin... how annoying is that...

I mean it wouldn't be illegal, but it would certainly be a bit odd.

It's likely that's the guy who turns up to ALL of the PBDRC drag meets and does ultra consistent times for DYO.

It would appear that KITT sits about 3 blocks from my house out here in mosgiel. My wife talked to the owner the other day when she was on a walk. Apparently it is a work in progress and cost him about $10k to do the front of it and the steering wheel is next (it is just a normal one at the moment, not a airplane type one) and then comes the computer :D :D :D .
Wifey forgot to ask how he was going to do the turbo boost :x
