- The "20 Jahre RTL"
-
-
- The
german tv channel RTL
rented the car for a tv show called "20
Jahre RTL".
There was
- a part in it about Knight Rider,
where they needed a K.I.T.T.
replica for the show. Once
-
arrived at the studio, the car immediately had to go into it. there
was a big problem,
-
because the car was to big, so there were a lot of difficulties to get
it into the studio.
- They even had to lift the car up
from behind, to slide the rear part of the car to one side,
- because the curve was to small
to drive it into the studio. The opening was not much bigger
- then the wideness of the car
itself, only a few inches / cm's! After a lot of hassle, they made
- it. I removed the front license
plate which RTL
first had covered with a piece of black card
- board. Then replacing the rear
license plate by the "KNIGHT"
one, and removing the rear
- mirror. Once that was than, the
car was as good as ready for the show.
- The dashboard wasn't actually
finished yet, so I had to fill it up with printouts and colored
- paper. Some lights behind it,
and it looked great! The voice display was really
functional.
- That was important, because K.I.T.T.
had to talk in the show. A receiver in the trunk,
with a
- wireless microphone was used to
make the voice display work from a distance. This
- way it looked or the car itself
really could talk.
