FINALLY managed to get hold of a hot wheels batmobile! i'm just starting my collection of die cast movie cars and will hopefully be adding more to my collection (told the missus they were for my son when he gets older! lol)

i ended up paying £51 on ebay! lol worth it though as i have been after one for a long long time. i think it was that expensive because it was brand new boxed, i have seen a couple of unboxed ones go for around £20

Very nice, you have got to love KITT

one day I think I will start collecting Movie car/vehicle reps and add them to my 1/18 and 1/24 car collection.

Unfortunately for me and my credit card I discovered Sideshow by accident and cant seem to leave it alone....

yup, i noticed that on a review before i bought it. did the engine do that in any of the films? i can't remember.

i think it's supposed to be a battering ram.

what did you use to modify the scanner mate? i've seen a few modified ones on youtube that look brilliant.

an aroused batmobile.....

i stuck a piece of envelope stiffener behind the clear lens then put a piece of red plastic from an old pair of 3D glasses in front of it.

DpM · 07-09-2009, 8:44 AM

Great pics peeps

Always wanted a delorean, id probably want all three but if only one it would have to be the part 2 version.

Might have to get one in a few months with the b'day cash

is your kitt car the ertl joyride version? just noticed the front lights are different on yours as there are 2 yellow ones and on mine they are all white/clear

cas398 · 07-09-2009, 5:37 PM

That's actually a really cool mod you have done, looks arguably much better

all you need now is a perm and a tight fitting t-shirt and you could be the hoff!

KnightWolf · 08-09-2009, 12:59 PM

i haven't got it anymore due to being made redundant but the last time i saw it the new owner has given it a black paint job with the KR nose with scanner and wheels with the bowling ball hubcaps, something i could never afford to do.

wow that was really yours i thought you wre joking! lol. would love to be able to afford to buy one of those and do it up like the real kitt. i seen 2 replica kitt cars drive through were i live once and was awe struck at them, my girlfriend just shook her head and called me a geek lol

DpM · 18-09-2009, 11:00 PM

Won a sun star BTTF II delorean on ebay.

Can't wait to have it

For me my fav ever car in a film/TV series. I know the real thing was not good but I just love the look of it.
Anyone watch Chuck? there was one in the show not so long ago and they said the one used in the movie had a porsche engine installed, anyone know if that is true?
