It's on Sci-Fi on Tuesdays at 8pm.
AS someone already mentioned KITT can now transform. Starts off as a plain (ish) Mustang , but can change to attack mode (above) or 4X4 mode where he becomes an F150(?).
Last night he was blasted off a cliff intoo the ocean and was in some sort of submarine mode - very James Bond. Especially when he drove onto the beach where a little kid was looking really confused.
Agree with the wheel comments - but I think you'll find that was a design feature of some of the best cars I've ever seen. I used to design cars like that all the time. On my primary school jotters! ;D

The acting is fine up until they pretend to be driving. Then its comical ;D

Not sure if there's a thread about this already but the search didn't find one. Watched a new episode of Knightrider last night and the new KITT went into attack mode. Something about it is well retro - like an old Hot Wheels car or something! The acting is terrible BTW!

A few weeks ago I was driving out of work to go for lunch and there was a massive load stopped on the other side of the road. It had reached a traffic island with lamposts which made to road too narrow, and the pavement on both sides has metal ralings as its outside a school. There were lots of Police and workmen standing about scratching their heads and a huge tailback down the main road!
45 mins later when I cam back the load was gone but the lamposts on the traffic isalnd were flattened! ;D

On the Volvo theme: 217k miles when I sold it. Loved it. Both of these. The Sunny had 35k when I sold it to my brother-in-law who left it sitting for months. The L200 had a cracked block when I traded it in. Should have got it repaired coz it was great!

Matt Thanks for the translation! Sounds like a beast to me! Didn't know about the time thing - trying to run close to a set time without breaking it. Sounds like a bit of a strategy game rather that just going flat out. Must taks a shed load of skill!

Maybe it was an AMC Factory? It was, but I only realised that years later. Badge engineering was beyond me back then. I know its off topic but didn't AMC do a unique model based on the Renault?

Can't remember that, but you just reminded me about Gung Ho, early Ron Howard movie staring Michael Keaton and the Assan Motor Company,.. which was made up at the time,.. but now exists. I remember this. As a kid I remember asking my dad why an American factory was building Renaults!

Shows on DVLA as 3.5 litre Range Rover. yeah we had a talk about this on the FSOC a few years back when I first saw it, we concluded it might well have been the engine donar! ;D I've got it. Maybe its an MGB body on an old range rover chasis. ;D Which has been lowered. And narrowed. So actually it's all good coz it's really a range rover and it can pull the van no probs! Back to silly pics now?

I had one for two years. It cost me £250 and I sold it for £320. Never got round to doing anything to it - it was too busy lugging kids / dogs around. I know a guy who had the van version and he used to fire a hamoock of some sort in the back along with a porta potti and use it for camping at festivals etc. I think with a few mods they could be total WIN! Have a pic of a standard Postman Pat spec to get started:
