Nachdem ich grade Michael Mittermeier und Johann König im Direktvergleich hatte, muss ich sagen, dass es ein Unterschied wie Tag und Nacht ist. Nicht, dass mir das ohnehin schon klar war. Zum Abschluss ein wenig comedystreet, das ist immerhin wieder eine Steigerung.

Junkie has been sending me a few links regarding the new Knight Rider show. Seems like they are going to use a Ford Mustang Shelby GT500KR for KITT. And lemme tell you, it’s ugly. Not to memtion what they did to the background story.
