To all the non-fans of knight riders, Knight Rider is a web series starring David Hasselhoff. Hasselhoff played the lead of Michael Long who was shot in the face. After getting shot, he went through plastic surgery to get a new changed face. He then renamed him as Michael Knight.

He then collaborated with his partner K.I.I.T. together they used to fight crimes. They used to deliver justice where law and order fails. They just do about right with wrongs. They were frail in anguish.

Paul has been their fan since childhood and he has always admired them. He’s been watching the series since the time he was just about eight years old. He was mad about the gadgets that K.I.I.T owned. He was in love with the sound and look of the gadgets.

As a child, he always wanted those gadgets. He came to know about the opportunity and ability to make something like this run on public roads three years ago. He just couldn’t let it go. Since then, he kept on thinking and planning for it. In the end, his hard work finally paid off. It was like a dream come true for him. He was finally able to drive his dream car on the road.

He bought the car in the summer of 2019 and used it for a while. Then he pulled out all the carpets and seats. The whole car was cleaned thoroughly. All the rusty places on the car were cleaned and painted properly. The car was given a whole new look.

K.I.I.T’s famous phrases were added to the car. Paul arranged the whole playlist of K.I.I.T for his car to give it a real feel. Pandemic lockdown gave him some more time to work on the car. He spent almost 1000 hours to give perfection to the car.

Nonetheless, Paul can’t go anywhere in the car without being the center of attention. He drives the car and all the attention drives towards him. Whenever waits for his tank to get filled at a petrol station, many people approach him for a picture or a video with the car.
