Episode 51 show notes
Added 2021-04-11 18:01:01 +0000 UTCHello again. Some Knight Rider themed pictures this week, starting with K.I.T.T. in 'super pursuit' mode. The other two pictures are of a Californian train derailment which damaged a load of cars, to the benefit of Knight Rider's producers. Full explanation in the podcast, in case you haven't heard it yet.

2021-04-16 09:09:02 +0000 UTCAnother great episode, congrats on getting to a year. Really hope you get some live shows sorted as things open up again. At the risk of becoming the podcast's pedant laureate, Mr. T is the actor's name and nothing to do with the character so of course it's got nothing to do with Baracus. But I'm sure you know that.

2021-04-14 08:27:26 +0000 UTCThe fake exhaust tips on that SQ5 have made me very cross indeed. Congrats on the 1 year lads.

2021-04-13 20:46:39 +0000 UTCNew Knight Rider roars up in new kit. Bad guy runs out of building and starts shooting. Michael Knight throws the car into reverse, turns in his seat and mashes the throttle pedal. Car sits there and bongs at him. Warning on dash: "Depress brake pedal before selecting R" π

2021-04-12 14:26:36 +0000 UTCIβve recently disconnected the sound device in my Mk7 Golf R. I hadnβt realized how annoying it was until it was gone. Also congratulations on a year of podcasts! They brighten every Monday.

2021-04-12 13:16:45 +0000 UTCThat Kia reversing noise is the music you get in a horror film that is trying to lull you into a false sense of "nothing to see here" security, just before the shit hits the wall.

2021-04-12 09:30:42 +0000 UTCOn the subject of fast Audi SUV's, i currently encounter one of a regular basis during my commute. It's an RSQ3 in the boring Audi grey color. Not a very interesting car aside from the fact that i have never seen the driver being a knob in it. It just cruises along at around the speed limit and if anything the driver leaves to much of a gap to the car in front. Even when i give it the beans in my annoying little hot hatch they dont take the bait. I cant see the driver due to the height difference between our cars but i can only imagine it's some wealthy old dear who just bought the most expensive one.
