Automobile magazine

Latest issue on stands, August 2018 issue of Automobile magazine has a really cool thirdgen article. Cover has a '18 ZR1 and a '90 ZR1 on it, so has that cool article too.
But the 3rd gen article is a nice 8 page on an enthusiast named Don Colie out of Virginia, he started a company Advanced Designs in Automotive Technology. He is a huge fan and enthusiast of the Knight Rider cars, specializing in conversions. I wonder if he's on this board, or people that know him?
Anyway, whether or not Kitt cars are you thing or not, they are 3rd gen and the level of work this guy has done to tribute these cars is really impressive. Gotta respect that. And it's safe to say a magazine like this has not had a lot of 3rd gen articles or coverage in a loooong time, let alone this many pages. So cool to see some 3rd gen love in 2018.

Nice !!! Gotta pick up a copy !!!


Don Colie is a TRUSTED and WELL known KITT replica builder. Done business with him before.


He's been in the Knight Rider game for a LONG time !!
