While it might be a little too late in the evening to actually get into some quality writing, one can always watch some Porsche Porn! Watch this killer on board video of Team Polizei’s Interceptor 144P at the hands [...]

Team Polizei is going racing with the big boys!

April 16, 2009

Following the release of Alex Roy’s book, The Driver, more than a few politically correct twits made more than a few comments about cross country racers being nothing more than glorified street racers. Anyone who has ever met Alex knows that nothing could be further from the truth. This is a guy who takes his [...]

Achtung: Ziss istur lazt chanz to buy der Polizei 144 gear

April 3, 2009

Ok, so the title is as far as I’m willing to take my lame attempt of imitating Colonel Klink, but this really might be your last chance to buy some really cool Team Polizei gear.

April 10, 2008

Last week, while I was deep in scavenger hunt mode for the Pontiac Vibe launch. I needed some help, so I contacted the Team Polizei head honcho Alex Roy. Herr Roy informed me he was on a run to Atlanta and would have to call back. That run wasn’t they type of run most of [...]

Is Alex Roy planning to take over the world?

February 14, 2008

One might think so as he amasses an ever growing fleet of E39 M5’s. This latest squad car comes complete with a roll cage and what looks to be a track suspension set up. Even more interesting is the suggestion that 144R may be used in combat some time soon.

January 9, 2008
