The only original schtick was that he lived in a caravan (or 'trailer') and was building his house himself, brick by brick.

Although the living in a trailer thing had already been done in 'The Rockford Files' and 'Trapper John MD.' Revived later for Mel Gibson's character in the 'Lethal Weapon' films.

That was back when there was only three channels so you took what you were given.

Just looked it up, apparently both Harrison Ford and Mark Hamill appeared in it, before they became famous due to 'Star Wars.'

As Gaz said Petrocelli was the same bloke who played Kowalski in 'Vanishing Point.'

Made friends through these meets, the way things should be.

I'll be having get together at mine some point this year - Covid providing - probably when I get the last of my Dac mods done.

Looks great, but I reckon it’s going to be very pricey, especially once you look at the 7 seater and camper versions with more oomph and range…
