Random stuff we found by the side of the internet…
• First test drive of the all-new Ford Mustang KITT (pictured), star of the forthcoming Knight Rider movie. Does it still have a “Turbo Boost” button? Jalopnik has the answer.

Given that GPS has been around for several years now, we’re surprised no one thought of this much sooner.
Mio’s new Knight Rider GPS features the reassuring, mellifluous voice of William Daniels (aka KITT, or K.I.T.T if you’re being pedantic), as well as a database of names so you can customise the unit to personally talk to you - it’s a childhood dream come true, sadly enough. As KITT tells you where to get off, columns of red LEDs pulsate in sync with the spoken commands. 100% genius.
It should hit the shops in September 2008, priced around £250. We’re going to buy one and put it in our Spada Codatronca.
When Grid Crasher was 14 years old, KITT was undoubtedly the coolest car in the history of the known universe. Now that Grid Crasher is into its thirties, KITT remains undoubtedly the coolest car in the history of the known universe.
So imagine our juvenile delight to discover that one of the original KITTs is up for sale on eBay.
