is it milton? kinda almost looked like it, to much pavement though! LOL

It was THE SMOKEY AND THE BANDIT tv series that was very short lived. He drove a black dodge stealth twin turbo or a Mitsubishi 3000gt vr4 (same car). The snowman was supposed to be the son of Jerry Read, and that snow man drove a red t600 kw. And yes the bandit did look like Jason Priestly.

It may have been mentioned already, but I don't remember the name. It was a short lived TV show with a total custom truck with a bubble style cockpit. If my aircraft experiance is correct, it was the cockpit of a Britsh Gazelle helicopter. Anyone have any info one this one?
