Knight Rider Was a Documentary?
Was at RAF cricket club with my dad. Whilst he played, I busied myself with usual 8 year old boy activities, namely exploring the woods.
Popped out of a hedge by the main road and was stopped in my tracks by a noise any young boy in the 80s would instantly recognise: a low ‘woo woo’ sound accompanied by a turbine whine. I turned round to see KITT from Knight Rider cruise past me, scanner sweeping back and forth.
As I watched it travel a ways up the road it braked and turned off into a very military looking entrance road, which upon quizzing my dad I found out to be a Ministry of Defence compound of some sort. I am 100% sure I saw this. Even at 8 I was aware of the unlikely nature of what I had just observed.
I can only assume some MOD guy was a fan of the series and took his custom car to work to show off to his buddies. Still, this was in the UK in the 80s and getting such a car would have been almost impossible without huge expense either in time or money.
