Not sure if I want to hear the opinions of a host of a car show video who doesn't know who Michael Schumacher is, or calls the Interceptor from Mad Max the 'Knight Rider'. C'mon mate, a little research wouldn't have killed you.
The Schumacher crack sounds like an attempt to be funny. Notice i said "an attempt".
One might want to consider that he didn't say "Knight Rider" in referring to the "Mad Max" car, but rather "Nightrider", the guy Max chases to his death in the opening sequence of the film.
Before you accuse people of not knowing what they're talking about, you might want to consider if, perhaps, it's not them who is wrong...
To Fairportfan - I hate leaving negative comments on pages (it's a pointless arguing exercise) so I did feel bad leaving this one. However, after watching it again, I still have to stick with my original argument. Perhaps he did mean Nightrider, but that's still the wrong name for the car. More disconcerting is a remake of Deathrace 2000, but I can't blame this guy for that.
