Enjoyed seeing those screen shots, especially the fly-over scene. Dave - your schedule is impressive. So is your dedication to surfing and contributing to this fun forum.

I'm wondering if my 7 yr old son would enjoy Knight Rider in the future? He's just discovered the Flinstones and thinks Bam Bam is cool. Nothing like the old school.

Searching the forum for "movie sightings" brings up some very well developed threads.

I've always enjoyed going to the International Movie Cars Database for trivial fun. Here's the link for the Rx-7:

http://www.imcdb.org/vehicles_make-M...odel-RX-7.html

The IMCDB needs to be updated as it only has one Knight Rider (1981) scene referenced.
