Nicole and I had been trying to come up with a nickname for our motorhome once we’d bought it. Back in the early 2000s we’d named our “tinny” Knight Moves (for the Bob Seger fans out there), and we didn’t want to recycle that one.
I can remember watching a certain 80s TV show back in late primary school starring The Hoff (before he was The Hoff). The show centred around a black Pontiac Firebird Trans Am T-top called K.I.T.T. (Knight Industries Two Thousand) with AI capabilities, allowing K.I.T.T. to converse with The Hoff and help him solve crimes. These days it would probably be Ryan Gosling in a (probably pink) Tesla.
So, we went with that and have named our Explorer Spirit motorhome Knight Riders because, while there was (and thankfully only ever will be) one Hoff, there’s two of us.
Fortunately, a very dear and long-time friend of ours (thanks Andrew!) is a talented sign writer and was able to arrange for us a fantastic retro logo. Thanks Andrew!
