Aircooled VW South Africa

I must tell you of a experience we had last year with one on a special training Exercise

It was extreme short landing and stop in fffffffffshort distance then kitters with some 6wheeled Quad bike out
And when you lay in the grass and whait for this monster all have to be in with in one minute and all kitters and bikes tied down

While you run to bourd the Captain is holding the throttles FULL BALL for max thrust for take off

As you run towards the back of the plane as soon as you run in the wake you litterally run at 45deg

But what a joll

That sounds like the 'fire force' drill to secure an enemy runway for own use? We've done that in theory, 'dry run' at Tempe airport in Bloem with Jakkals Jeep vehicles, but no plane

I've heard about some 'ou manne' who literally sh*t their pants on the border when a Flossie approaches a base in enemy territory at high altitude (out of SAM reach), then drops nearly vertically to land on a VERY SHORT runway!

Just saw the new KITT on tv now , its an awsome car

the best scenes was the reverse into first from the plane and then the car chase , oh not to mention the hot undress scene in the car

Think I prefer the re runs that they put on during the day

Call me old fashioned, but there can be only one KITT..

I find that the Mustang turning into a SUV or Pick-Up a bit much. Put me right off of the new incarnation of Knight Rider. Pine, nevermind there can only be one KITT......... There can only be one Hoff!!!

The new mustang is nice but I'm with you on this Pine

Well, personally I like to think of KITT as an incredibly well designed peace of AI software that was carried from one car to the next. As the car improves, so does the KITT software.

I recall having a talk with my brother, when I was 6 years old, while looking at my dad's bay window bus. The discussion was all about how we would love to make it talk, and speak to us when we needed directions to a place...

Well, that's done and dusted, in more than one way.

With the modern day KITT, transforming the way it does, our generation's children are saying:

"Damn, I'd like a car that could turn into a plane at the push of a button." or
"Wouldn't it be nice if I only needed one car to go to Kilarney and Middle-of-nowhere."

With the advances in nano-technology, a transforming car isn't that unrealistic. What is unrealistic right now, but not for long, is the 64, 128bit nitrogen cooled processors that the new KITT has as a brain. Also keeping in mind that KITT would need to be running around with something in the region of 400 Tera-bites of solid state data storage... and electronics that allow visual display on the body, sensory equipment capable of measuring photon excitement levels at a distance of no less than a mile...

That there is the ridiculous bit, but I can't stop myself thinking... "How am I going to get Christn to do all those things."
